Product Information

Atopic eczema(atopic dermatitis) – the most common form of eczema. It occurs mostly in children and typically develops before their first birthday. It can also affect adults and is considered a long-term condition, which can flare up later in life. Atopic eczema tends to run in families, so if your parents suffer from flare-ups, the chances are you will too. If your skin stings after using an emollient wash product and does not settle after rinsing, ask a pharmacist to recommend a different product. Using emollients with other skin treatments The Dermexa range is a family friendly solution to help you care for all your very dry itchy skincare needs. With a Daily Emollient Cream, Body Wash and Long-Lasting Balm, these products can help you rebalance your family's skin with confidence. The “itch-scratch” cycle Everyday soaps, shampoos and shower gels usually dry out the skin and can make skin conditions like eczema worse.

Eczema skin care tips

Your skin is the largest organ in the body, totalling around 20 square feet. It protects the rest of your body from the outside environment, while regulating body temperature and providing a waterproof barrier.

This can lead to people developing dry skin as they get older.Atopic eczema is usually a long-term condition and is more common in children and infants, but it can improve significantly and even clear completely in children as they get older. Adults can also develop eczema. People with atopic eczema may experience periods where the symptoms become less noticeable, as well as flare-ups where the condition becomes more severe.

Avoiding triggers

Lotions are good for hairy or damaged areas of skin (such as weeping eczema – where pus is seeping out of damaged areas of skin). This is because lotions are thin and spread easily, but they're not very moisturising. Sprays Be gentle – gently pat your skin dry after washing and apply the emollient while the skin is still damp. This helps retain moisture. Your doctor or pharmacist will talk to you about which type of emollient will work best for your skin condition. Emollients are often used to help manage dry, itchy or scaly skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis and ichthyosis.

How to use

Your skin draws moisture from the environment. The water content of the outermost layer of your skin (the epidermis) tends to reflect the level of humidity around it. For example, very hot, dry weather, wind, sun, and central heating in winter can evaporate water from the skin’s surface, causing it to dry out. So, following the same skincare routine year-round may not work when the weather changes. This Soothing Oat Bath Soak formula is rich in antioxidants found in oats, which is known to reduce discomfort & itchiness. Dyshidrotic eczema – also known as pompholyx, dyshidrotic eczema is usually a long-term condition that appears as small itchy blisters on the palms of the hands or soles of the feet. The symptoms typically come and go over a two-to-three-week period. If you experience any of these symptoms, talk to a GP, nurse or pharmacist. Safety advice when using emollients Fire safety

This is usually caused by increased pressure in the leg veins, which can cause fluid to leak into the surrounding tissue. The dry and flaky skin that comes with all types of eczema may, in this case, be the result of an immune response to the fluid leaking into tissues in that area of the body. Like atopic eczema, discoid eczema is caused by extremely dry skin that is prone to react to irritants, such as soaps. However, unlike atopic eczema, it isn’t known to run in families.Emollients are best applied after washing your hands, taking a bath or showering because this is when the skin most needs moisture. Reduce time spent in the shower or bath. Use warm, not hot, water and a gentle cleanser to prevent irritation. They can be used to replace lost moisture whenever your skin feels dry or tight. They're very safe and you cannot overuse them.
