Itchy skin

It's interesting to read about the onset of the itching being in the evening. My daughter has the same thing and she is only 35. apparently it only starts when it gets dark, and is on her shoulders.

Coolgran I use a Persil Non Bio but have wondered if Fairy might be better. I also found I couldn't use a softener.

At last managed to see the Doc about my itchy skin which is definitely eczema (just like my poor youngest GS).

I must keep my skin permanently moisturised with Dermol 500, plus Sudacreme and drink more water to keep my hydrated.

Anyone else on a similar regime ?

Our family hint is to use Aqueous cream instead of soap in the bath, shower etc. and as a moisturiser. It is very cheap to buy and available everywhere.

I saw this online the other day:

Many thanks Rose I shall read those articles.

Just got an appointment with my acupuncturist who has sorted out masses of things for me over the years, so I hope he can do the same with my eczema.

Pay a visit to pharmacist, I was recommended hydrocortisone cream which started to ease symptoms after first use

I use non bio and do an extra rinse. The only cream that helps me is Cetraben. Our skin gets so dry as we get older, as someone said getting older not for sissies x

The OP is ten years old!!
