Experiences with

Cetraben

My skin is very fragile and dry and I have Cetraben emollient cream prescribed to put on it, especially after a bath or shower. I'm wondering if it will be OK to use it on the day of my operation after my bath. I have to be at the hospital at 12.30 pm.

OH still has some residual itchy patches on shins (off pred for over a year) and we're wondering if anyone has any comments re these creams - Doublebase, Diprobase or Cetraben

Has given me Cetraben to be used as needed, Trimovate for anal region and Dermovate for vulvar region especially near vaginal entrance.

I have also used Cetraben but again it leaves my face feeling sticky all day. Does anyone have a suggestion for moisturiser I can be prescribed in place of doublebase? Wonderfully my face has been clear of eczema for a few years but I’d like to keep it that way!

I am using Cetraben at the moment and it works for a few hours but I need something to keep me moisturised for at least a day. So any suggestions for a shower gel and body cream would be much appreciated. Thanks and keep safe everyone

We use Cetraben to moisturise his skin few times a day. We have also added salts to soften our water. It hasn’t helped either. Anyone going through the same and found some solution? Thanks, Kalyani

Hello, I have very dry, itchy skin and use epaderm to wash with as well as cetraben to moisturise but just wondered whether anyone could recommend anything else. I've tried e45 & aveeno but no luck.

Cotton gloves standing by, so will be applying copius amounts of cetraben, (correct spelling this time,) tonight.

I was also given Epaderm ointment and Cetraben cream as moisturisers as well as Dermol 200 shower emollient and Dermol 500 for washing my hands. Does anyone else have the same issue and have any advice or tips they can share?

Specific products mentioned are E45 and Cetraben but you'll obviously have to read the labelling to find out which whether the products you use (whatever make or brand) contain paraffin.

Since September my GP was giving me steroid based creams starting from mildest one to stronger and stronger: 1.Betamethason, 0.1% w/w 2.Clobaderm 0.05 Ointment w/w 3.Synalar, 0.025% Ointment ww With ointments I was given: Cetraben cream than Epaderm cream.

(Aqueous cream doesn't work for me...I react to something in it....and both a.c. and cetraben are paraffin based....so am thinking I may not tolerate cetraben)

Am seeing my gp on Monday, and planning to ask about cetraben....but first am wondering: does anyone here have a prescription emollient cream that works really well for them?

Don't use shaving cream as it adds to skin tightening but just rub in some Cetraben or other favourite moisturiser instead - doesn't dry you out!

Do emollient creams like Cetraben, which are made from a mixture of white soft paraffin and liquid paraffin, cause long term damage to your skin and eventually make the skin even drier please?

Would like to find something other than Cetraben to use but cannot use lanolin based products.

I also have a cupboard full of emollients, E45, Oilatum, Cetraben - you name it I have it! I've found that if I don't TOUCH, I don't itch and consequently don't scratch. Easier said than done of course as I'm sure any eczema sufferer knows.

non steroid treatment thereafter She also mentioned testing for allergy to some of the ingredients of the topical steroid creams I had been using and also the emollients (cetraben was beginning to make my face burn too but not sure if that was tcw symptoms or what). 1.
