Experiences with

Doublebase

I've used * sudocream which works but gets everywhere, * Doublebase Diomed Flare Relief Emollient - makes my skin burn and worse * various other skin care products It's ruining my life, my confidence and my relationship. I can't get through to doctors.

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

I’ve had a small amount of relief from antihistamines (Fexofenadine 180mg) and 2 weeks of Eumovate steroid cream and I’m slathering my skin in Doublebase cream.

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 was prescribed Doublebase in a pump dispenser 500g which I kept at the sink and it didn’t really irritate my hands so I used it when hand washing. I haven’t had this prescribed for ages though for some reason and they keep giving me dermol shower emollient and also Doublebase shower emollient.

Ive tried so many, which I give up quickly because they don't improve the skin, now trying doublebase flare relief, it makes my eczema redder. have been using a week. should I continue?

For seven or eight years I have been using doublebase gel as a moisturiser on my face, following a flareup of atopic facial eczema. However, it now seems to be unavailable in the UK (except on eBay!)

this is what they look like and no they are not itchy just unsightly, any cures gratefully accepted - am trying Doublebase (UK) cream at the momtent

I have shown it to my g.p. but I get doublebase cream which makes it look so red and sore. I'm sure it's related to heart meds and as things are I am more concerned about my heart but it would be wonderful to get some relief from the itching . Any ideas welcome.

Any suggestions other than using Doublebase Dayleve Gel to strengthen skin would be welcome.

They’ve left me with really dry peeling and unsightly skin though - I’ve tried doublebase before along with various other thick creams etc with no joy. I have some borage cream that I’ve picked up while I’m away which has helped quite a bit with moisturising it. Anyone else have any other tips?

went through the change about 20yrs ago..skin,eyes ears..all dry..At the moment..I could scratch my skin off..and my scalp is doing my head in. been to doctors.prescribed 120mg Fexofenadine once a day..had bloods taken as well...Havent a clue what caused this to flare up...but I wish it would go..use doublebase

Is it safe to use this gel while on pulsed oxygen by day then .5ltr overnight through bipap machine? I

Isomol gel is listed as an alternative to Doublebase gel and Zerodouble gel. The Fifty:50 I got isn't listed, but the British National Formulary has "Liquid and White Soft Paraffin Ointment, NPF", which is the same stuff (50% liquid paraffin, 50% white soft paraffin), at £4.57 for 500 g.

suitable for the thin skin in that area, I struggled to control it, GP's didn't seem to know what to do but after going on a waiting list to see a dermatologist for several months he suggested using Curatoderm, it did help a little then months later at a new GP surgery my doctor lady asked me to try Doublebase

I've been using Doublebase a prescribed by my GP some time ago, but it's not working. My GP is no longer available and I have no confidence in the other doctors. I would like, if I have to see a doctor, to be able to request a suitable remedy.

I've been using doublebase gel which manages to keep it under control but it doesn't go for good. Any advice will be much appreciated. Many thanks.

Hi all I am a mature woman who has been having flare up of itchy hands for a few years.Doctor has diagnosed that its eczema given me a steriod cream for a wk to clear the worse up followed on by doublebase gel. Has anyone else had eczema in later life as I have never suffered from it before. Thanks

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.

I am using Doublebase cream to try and keep skin hydrated and prevent ulcers forming. Thanks for any feedback. Linda
