Best Eczema Treatment Product for May

June 1, 2012 , 3 By Kim Wilbur

I know I have mentioned previously how important it is to apply lotion each and every time you wash your hands, no ifs’ ands’ or buts’ about it especially if you are like me and get serious itchy skin rashes on your hands. Hand eczema which is a form of atopic dermatitis, is terribly difficult to control because our hands get severely abused throughout the day, and they don’t really ever get a break until we go to sleep. Think about it, when are you really not using your hands at all?

So my be all, end all eczema treatment lotion that I take with me everywhere is Dermarest Eczema  Medicated Lotion. I use it on my hands or anywhere a flare up decides to pop up and it is great because it is very light and easy to apply. It is not greasy nor does it leave a film like some lotions do. As soon as I apply it, it soothes the itch and sting from the eczema. It is really great to throw in your purse (sorry guys) and have with you at all times.

The ingredient list is as follows:

Active ingredients : Hydrocortisone 1%

Inactive ingredients: Purified water, propylene glycol, glycerin, cetyl alcohol, glyceryl stearate, PEG-100 stearate, dimenthicone, aleurites moluccana seed oil, Zinc PCA, panthenol, carthamus tinctorius (safflower) flower extract, camellia sinensis leaf extract, rheum palmatum root/stalk extract, cyclohexasiloxane, cyclopentasiloxane, xanthan gum, disodium edetate, sodium hydroxide, diazolidinyl urea, methylparaben, propylparaben.

Directions for use: Adults and children 2 years of age and over Children under 2 years of age.  Apply to affected area not more than 3 to 4 times daily.

FYI, I am not paid to write these product reviews and I purchase and test each product for at least 1 month before I post my comments.
