Advice please: prescription emollients
Sjogrens sicca dry overheated skin symptoms are even worse for me this winter than ever. Complicated by my raynauds being simultaneous with erythromelalgia I've had enough years learning to manage all this, and trying various over the counter moisturising products. So far, Aqueous cream doesn't work

Treatments for compositae allergy and eczema
I always wear cotton liners under my work gloves and I've used steroid creams on and off for a long time, constantly using
emollients
, wash with natural soaps, seen all sorts of specialists, homeopath, Chinese herbalist and changed my diets but nothing is long term treatment and to be honest running

Diagnosed 17 years later!
My GP referred me to a dermatologist who diagnosed eczema and prescribed the usual creams and
emollients
. I also had tests for any tropical diseases.

Neupro patch a learning experience
Cleaning the area - if I use one of those face soaps that contain
emollients
.... it doesn't work as well. If I use a clear glycerin soap it works better. 2. Time of patch change. Night just doesn't work for me. I know it's continued release but I seem to do better if I do it in the morning. 3.

Winter Care For Wrinkles On Face
While winter is definitely the season to enjoy friends, family, holidays and good cheer, one of the unfortunate aspects of colder weather is dry winter skin. The combination of cold weather and indoor heat can lead to additional dryness, and in turn, the dryness can increase the chances of wrinkles and

Dry skin question
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? If so does anyone recommend a natural emollient for very dry sensitive skin (fragrance and perfume free).

emollients
(cetraben was beginning to make my face burn too but not sure if that was tcw symptoms or what). 1.

Day 2 Cold Turkey from steroid creams
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.

Diabetics have higher blood glucose (sugar) levels than normal because the body cannot use it properly and compensates by trying to flush it out as urine.

Hi everyone, I have just finished three cycles (9 weeks) of ECX chemotherapy. I have yet to re visit the surgeon but I have been told that the chemotherapy has given me a good partial reduction in the tumour so they plan to operate in 6 weeks. Just a piece of information, towards the end of

Itchy!!!!!
I'm hoping someone can help me before I go mad!!! I'm taking Tramadol for severe pain - up to 400mg/day slow release. One of the side effects I have is that I am itchy all over, despite the fact that I take a daily anti-histamine anyway. It's literally all over and the sort of itch that drives me
