Experiences with

Emollients

However as I reduced steroids the rashes on my body and the scalp psoriasis (though not the allergic reaction on my face) started to return and have got worse despite all my usual treatment with emollients etc.

I've lived with atopic dermatitis and multiple allergies all my life, which are controlled with local steroids, antihistamines and emollients. My mother had ankylosing spondylitis. Those facts, and my good response to prednisolone, convince me I have a autoimmune disease.

my skin is really itchy all over, also my scalp, I have rosacea on my face and creams from doctor have not worked, I don’t seem to tolerate emollients, Is there anything else I can use for body, face and hair. many thanks Junie

I thought it might be helpful to post this for those of us with very thin, easily damaged skin. It’s one of the many hazards of long-term, high dose steroid use, including inhalers. Of course, if it weren’t for steroids I wouldn’t be here, so I’m glad they’re available. After decades of steroid use

Thank you to all who have replied to my message but I have another question now. I have been given antiseptic washing lotion to use for the 5 days leading up to my operation next Friday. My skin is very fragile and dry and I have Cetraben emollient cream prescribed to put on it, especially after a

Hello, Me and my husband had sex during a house renovation, following this I started with strong burning/pain in the clitoris area and inner lips. I’ve been treated for UTI and thrush and checked for STIs. All clear and no relief. After seeing a specialist he believes he can see ‘discontinuity’ of

I am really embarrassed and want to cry.My skin is so bad and i literally want to hide under a mask. My husband tried to break it in a concerning way to explain how bad my skin is but said i look like a drug addict - I don't do any drugs so was taken aback but do agree and need to get this sorted.

I'm 77 years old and have been diagnosed with rectocele and cystocele by my GP and also a private consultant, who told me he could do nothing until I had done 16 weeks of pelvic floor exercises. I found a women's health physio who tells me my pelvic floor measures 5/5 on the modified Oxford scale so

Has anyone had radiation burn under the breast after radiation for DCIS ( My therapy finished 8 days ago ) I thought I had sweat rash but now the skin increasingly itchy and discoloured . Have been using emollient cream and ant fungal cream but no improvement

Hi.I've been trying to get a second opinion or review of my brother He was in ICU in October 2019 placed in an induced coma. Came out quadrapleagic. Moved to a care home June 2020due to covid in hospital. He can speak albeit slurred. Bedbound for the most part. Still waiting for a mould to go with

Also, I have used E45 and Aveeno emollients with some success but these don't prevent the reaction from happening. Any help and advice always appreciated.

My wee boy has eczema, as do I, great family trait. His has been getting worse the last few weeks so we had a consult with the practice nurse, who advised using more emollient, mainly for bath time but also moisturising. She was pretty meh about which one ie wasn’t fussed which, and prescribed a paraffin-heavy

Hi, I was diagnosed with an underactive Thyroid in April 2020. I am currently on 75 mcg of Levothyroxine. In the last couple of months, I have started to devolope patches of eczema. The GP has prescribed me with some steroid cream and I also use Hydromol emollient. However, neither of these products

Dear All, I have many Skin Creams/ Lotions/ Emollient but have recently started to use Savlon..... Marvellous! I can't 'say' for How Long, of course, but YIPPEE for the time being. I have another 'newer cream' Adex Gel, which my 'Dermy'. gave me- quite effective too. I don't know about anyone else but

I am using Thunderbirdskin Resuce Balm sometimes instead of the emollients as its the only thing that does not seem to burn when I apply it to the area. I am at my wits end now and getting very depressed as I doubt my genitals will return to 'normal'.

I have primary lymphoedema of the left leg and have recently had a bout of cellulitis brought on, I suspect, by infection getting in by cracked skin under my little toe. Any suggestions please as to prevention? I have full-length hosiery for the leg supplied through the clinic in St George’s hospital

So today I’m writing this with the risk of no bandage on, and emollients on the surrounding skin to give it a rest. 9.These insect bite blisters can be much larger than mine. I’ve heard of 4 inch x 2 inch.

Can anyone suggest a good emollient for dry skin. I have been on calquence for 2 weeks now and have to apply Vaseline nightly. Even with that my skin is still dry. I drink lots of water so it’s not dehydration. Ideas??
