Please can you give me the name of the moisturiser for steroid damaged skin which is obtainable from Boots. I read about it on a post some time ago and would like to obtain some of the gel/cream?

Double Base Gel about £11 and it lasts for ages. Follow the instructions otherwise you are thrwoing your money away.

tomasina, you can get it on prescription as the pred causes your skin to thin.

Also, you can get Factor 60 Sun Block on prescription.

Thank you sambucca. I am seeing the GP this week and will ask her if she will prescribe them.

Thanks sambucca I have been using E45 but I could do with something better for my lower legs and ankles. They are very shined and painful. Also toamasina for asking this question.P.S. I thought 4 lupins was just a password not a site name but it has only brought me good things so I am going to stick with it. Bye
