How progress is achieved with The Combined Approach

The Healing Curve 

When following the programme of The Combined Approach, there is in clinic a recommended review appointment for troubleshooting, two weeks after starting the three levels of treatment.

Although nothing will be achieved without habit reversal, the appropriate application of treatment at Levels 1 and 2 are also essential for complete healing - and all three levels involve the patients active involvement.

To ensure everything is "on track" there are useful questions to ask:

• How are emollients being used?
• Is it understood how to use Topical Steroids?
• Is the hand tally counter still being used?
• How is habit reversal being practised?
