(Tue 10:52 29/Jan/08) You can buy 'Boots Aqueous Cream' for �5 and use it daily as a soap substitute, this helps to alleviate itchy irritated skin. | |

(Tue 11:02 29/Jan/08) The e45 emolliant wash is great too....I started using it 18 months ago when i developed eczema on my face.....my skin in clear and soft now. | |

(Tue 12:51 29/Jan/08) E45 is good stuff, but i discovered sudocream which is used on babies bottoms for nappy rash, relieves my excema ! | |

(Tue 13:22 29/Jan/08) Yes, it's ok, it's really just a moisturiser for skin, it didn't help me with my (atopic) eczema, for which i needed a medicated cream | |

(Tue 13:43 29/Jan/08) I find the E45 itch relief to be as good as the steroid based cream I get from the doctor for eczema | |

(Tue 14:26 29/Jan/08) The makers of E45 make another cream called HC45 which can also be bought in chemists. It's a low grade hydrocortisone cream which also moisturises. It's good for reducing inflammation caused by irritation e.g allergies, insect stings. I wouldn't use it for eczema though! | |

http://www.sovereign-publications.com/novartis -eurex-p2.htm $gs in correct abouts Boots generic being just as good but half the price for moisturising. For itching I would recommend the eurax to soak in the the Boots to moisturise with perhaps some of the wee cotton gloves on overnight. |
