Dermatitis and Eczema

Eczema is inflammation of the skin resulting in reddening, swelling and often itchiness. Symptoms vary from mild to severe and can last for days, months or years. It is very common and affects at least 5% of people at some point in their lives. Even though eczema isn't life threatening or contagious, it can make you feel uncomfortable and self-conscious.

The hydrocortisone in DermAid 0.5% Cream penetrates the skin quickly and effectively, providing much needed temporary relief from the inflammation associated with dermatitis, eczema, psoriasis and other skin irritations. DermAid contains moisturisers that soothe dry and inflamed skin, working to restore suppleness and hydration. It is ideal for extra sensitive skin.

Soap should not be used as it can affect the skin’s natural protection against infection. Moisturising creams will help keep the skin in good condition and can help to prevent recurrence. QV is perfect for everyday cleansing and moisturising; QV products are pH-balanced and free of soap, perfume, colour and other irritants, making them ideal for sensitive skin.

Essential Fatty Acids (EFA’s) have been shown to be of value for supporting healthy skin where dryness and flakiness are a problem. These good fats improve the barrier function of the skin and help prevent moisture loss. Nature’s Own Odourless Fish Oil 1000mg provides a rich source of Omega 3 EFA’s,to help maintain skin’s health and appearance.
