Experiences with

Diprobase

I have used quite a few emoluments prescribed by my consultant like diprobase and use dermo 500 and currently using doublebase cream for the dryness. I will be seeing my consultant next week and wonder if anyone similar to me may have any comments or solutions. Many thanks Michael

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

I use Diprobase as an emollient and have started to use Savlon on the crack, which is an anti-septic but also a skin-softener and (I hope) healing agent. Any advice, please, fellow sufferers?

I had eczema on my eyelids a couple of months ago, which kept coming back in fairly mild bouts, but cleared with hydrocortisone cream and diprobase.

I use Roche posay products alongside my derm creams or good old diprobase. I have a feeling if I go back to my a GP she will bounce me back to trying to contact Dermatology who seem frankly useless. Any ideas from you lovely people in my phone? X

No reaction yellow line a cotton liner, some white fluffy bandages I don't know the name of, non sterile dressings, diprobase, zipzoc, aquacel and the brown silver impregnated mesh. Currently my biggest saviour is my sigvaris wraps, zipzoc and non sterile dressings as I can wear them.

I’m constantly moisturise with averno and diprobase ointment but nothing is helping. Has anyone else experienced this? Or might know what this is?

Huge amounts of fluids , anti histamines , diprobase , and I am back home . Big son getting used to dramas and now back at his workplace . Again , astonishing care at UCH , private room ( in case I was infectious and , for my dignity ! )....

I trust that Epimax is a worthy successor to Diprobase when I get to try it.

I have tried diprobase, eumovate, hydrocortisone etc and they either don't really make a difference or they just produce more of these bubbles. Any help would be fantastic - I see my GP periodically but never see any benefits afterwards.

I wash only with Dermol and have been using many topical treatments, the latest are diprobase and epidermis but nothing has made a difference. I will see my GP next week to discuss recent blood test results

I have been on long term steroids which has caused my skin to be very thin and papery and easily bruised [ I do use Diprobase ] however my skin is getting so much worse and even rubbing the Diprobase very carefully into my skin is causing bruising, mostly to my lower legs, also my legs and feet

Having been through a lot of the prescribed ones like doublebase, e45, epaderm, diprobase, aveeno and all that I have been forced to try store bought ones but considering there is so many out there I have no idea where to start.

lenses in my glasses and look like stevey wonder. i have at the moment got a bad patch on my arm from fingers to top of arm, my new docotor says oh you dont need anything it will just scare like the rest and gave me aqueous cream, its horriable and enbarising and itchey. alreay have oils, epederm, diprobase

Having initially tried anti-fungals, diprobase, and mild topical corticosteroids, the Dermatologist prescribed Mometasone (moderate topical corticosteroid), a two week course of Erythromycin (antibiotics), and Cetraban as a moisturiser. I also picked up some T-Gel for my scalp.

I am using the wheat bag as we speak,and have seen the onc today,chemotherapy tomorrow,bloods were borderline but just good enough.I have been given Diprobase cream emollient on prescription which seems to work well,as Caylex is very hard on the skin.

pain and swelling to shoulders, elbows, wrists, fingers, hips (presents as constant groin-strain and gripping pressure to sides), knees and ankles (Currently treated by steroid injections to individual joints and pain controlled by Tramadol) + Cold Finger + Dry cracking/splitting skin (treated with Diprobase

Skin feels dry so Diprobase suggested, do you use it first on your facial skin in the mornings / evenings (not much, but just a little to soften the skin) then put the metrogel on after or the otherway round but if the later, I find the metrogel just flakes off and looks as if your skin is peeling!

A rash , all over arms and thighs and buttocks ....diprobase and dermo 500 not doing much ...hospital say folliculitis and not unusual reaction to chemo . Has anyone had this ? What can I do about it ? Making me miserable , so unlike me ...it is hot not itchy . Any suggestions would be so welcome .
