Paraffin may irritate some sensitive skin, http://eczemablues.com/2012/02/sensitive-skin-product-series-what-ingredient-to-avoid/ I use Physiogel & QV cream for my toddler and we live in sunny Singapore; basically, any cream that doesn't contain the top allergens, then choose whichever price/loo...

Aqueous creams that contain emulsifying ointment, paraffin and preservatives may be ingredients that one can be allergic to. It has been recommended by doctors for many years until recent years, when it appears to be less recommended. If you're an adult, you can go for patch test; then you know whic...

Not sure if FarenKnight has gone trekking and back. But to anyone reading this, don't give yourself oral steroid or ask for one because you can't have access to moisturizer.

It's good to be pro-active and happy that your skincare routine is working :) Do remember to chill, head for a laugh at eczema cartoons on my blog http://eczemablues.com/category/101-things-that-mothers-with-eczema-child-do-differently/ No recommendations/tips from me cos you're doing so many things...
