I used to find that TCP ointment was the only thing which helped my skin rashes. (I'm allergic to many things). For some reason they stopped making it. I hope they haven't phased out the liquid too.
Germolene no longer has that distinctive smell, which I rather liked. Now it's similar to Savlon.

Go to a chemist,they will sell it.

We don't use TCP but did have problems buying Germolene for some time.
It does seem to be appearing in some stores again. Probably with a price increase. 🤔

Asda have it in stock and Boots say it will be back in stock soon.

Anybody remember the “One Foot in the Grave” episode with Victor stinking of TCP?

There's a known shortage. Boots own antiseptic is similar.
