Oilatum

12 years ago•9 Replies

Jo from BLF mentioned aqueous cream yesterday and to be carefull because of something it contains, unfortunately can't get to the post to see what it was, anyhow i called in Lloyds pharmacy this morning just out of curiosity, for people who suffer from eczema as well as respiratory problems they highly recommend Oilatum for babies, i bought some £2.50 as i have really dry skin, will let you all know how it goes.

Hi azaard

They gave me some aqueous cream when I as in hospital with Cellulitis. It brought me out in a rash. I think they said it was the paraffin in it. Bobby

Got to be careful with some of these skin treatments - here's one story I remember from my local hospital:

I agree Gordon it can be dodgy stuff, must admit I've never noticed a warning on any skin product, I've just checked mine, E45, Calamine and vaseline non have warning, about flammability not good.

My granddaughter has eczema, & although neither parent smokes they love barbiques in the summer, thanks Gordon & azaard for the heads up on this cream,

Azaard, I often use pure coconut oil, you can get it in any chemist. It's cheep and cheerful and most importantly it works. I prefer GOK'S body butter it's gorgeous rich and luxurious. In Ireland we can only buy it in Boots at Christmas time in gift sets so I but it for all my friends and stock up on it for myself.

I get a nasty case of excema on my face and the only cream I can find that can ease it is Oilatum face repair cream....but at £7.65 a tube, it is a bit pricey. oh and the fact that I can only buy it in boots is a pain as my nearest one is a bus ride away!

I have Eczema as well as Asthma, and whilst I never smoke, have always been warned to be careful near heat sources when covered in greasy creams. Lyn1969 have you tried sourcing Oilatum Face Repair Cream on line, I have seen it for sale on there.

Try Dream Cream from LUSH cosmetics. This cream is made from everything good for the skin. I use it whenever I get a rash - many of my former co-workers now pack it for their holidays as it is good as an after sun and soothing should sunburn occur.

LUSH also make a Dream Wash, I use it in the bath as it is difficult to rinse off the residue! Still swear by it for skin problems.
