My husband has always suffered with eczema, though thankfully not to the extent he used to (his eye lids would split when he opened his eyes in the winter), but finding that whilst some areas have improved with time, he seems to have developed sites of dry skin in new places, his neck being the worst area. After deciding that his usual form of treatment was no longer working, I found myself going to my local Asda pharmacy for some advice on what to get for him, with the cream I will now review for you being the one. The cream in question is - "Eumovate eczema and dermatitis cream". This particular cream comes in a very small ...  Read the complete review

~ Eumovate ~ My seven year old son has suffered with eczema since he was about a month or so old. We were back and forth the doctors pretty much every week and there wasn't a period of time I can remember his skin being totally clear. Considering quite how bad his skin actually was, he barely cried. It was like he was used to it and it didn't bother him. He has always been really good with the not scratching and no rubbing his skin whilst awake but in the night he would scratch so much he would be covered in blood in the morning and no matter what creams and lotions the doctor prescribed for him, they made no difference at all. Some of the creams ...  Read the complete review

I have suffered from Eczema for many years now and most of the time it is easily controllable with Hydrocortisone cream. Occasionally I have a really bad flare up and Hydrocortisone just won't clear it properly and I have to use Eumovate cream as well to clear it up. Eumovate is a cream for Eczema and Dermatitis, and I also use it for hives and rashes when I get food allergy reactions. I have found it to work very well, and it soothes itches instantly, which is a brilliant relief, literally! Usually Eumovate calms the majority of a rash or breakout within a couple of hours, and a couple of applications clears it right up and my skin is back to normal ...  Read the complete review

Having suffered with eczema since childhood, I was extremely glad when I discovered this cream, as my usual method of treating any flare ups with Vaseline didn't work very well. The tube is about 6 inches in size, and is easily opened using the sharp point of the cap. The cream comes out smoothly and evenly, and when replaced, the cap does not leak. The cream itself is quite thick and has a very distinctive "mediciney" smell. As per the included instructions, you only need to use a very small amount, as the amount you can squeeze onto one fingertip will cover an area the size of your palm. The cream should not be used on the face, or in ...  Read the complete review

Having tried numerous creams and all kinds of treatments for my severe eczema all over my body, I was finally prescribed the steroid cream 'eumovate'. This is the only cream that has ever worked for me; it cleared the years of eczema from my face and body within a matter of a week. Ofcourse, being a steroid cream, I had been warned that in the long term it would not be good, and therefore it was something I should stop using, but I found that when I stopped using it, my eczema came back. So I continued to use it over two or three years, and then again I was told by my doctor that I really should stop, so this time I did, and some eczema came back, but only in ...  Read the complete review
