Hi I use dermol 500 and dermol 600 . A bath emollient and lotion for afterwards. Is prescribed so you need to ask GP about it . Only use dove or simple soap 2 . Hope this helps :)

Hi I have used all of the above mentioned products and find Aloe Vera gel really good as it cools the skin and helps healing.

Was given hydroxyzine 10 mg ( antihistamine) as my gp thinks i am slightly allergic to the gabapentin she also gave me aqueous cream . for me these have helped :)

I found the ROC range of cosmetics and creams very helpful. I have to avoid hairspray and perfumed products as using them can leave my face swollen and my skin peeling - even from my eyelids!

Hi, Me! Epilepsy, bi-polar disorder, IBS, Reflux, arthritis, ANd FM. Ain't life exciting eh? I do so try to be couragous but as I am the Worst Coward in the World, won gold medal, I moan inwardly. I use creams from SuperDrug - brilliant and not as costly as E45.
