What is Eumovate Eczema and Dermatitis Cream 0.05%?

Eumovate is used for the short-term treatment and control of patches of red, itchy skin caused by eczema and dermatitis. The cream stops the skin’s over-reaction to the triggers that cause skin flare-ups, such as eczema or dermatitis. The active ingredient is clobetasone butyrate, a topical corticosteroid to control skin inflammation. The cream base also has moisturising properties.

When can I use Eumovate Cream?

Eumovate cream contains a steroid that reduces inflammation and flare-ups of psoriasis or eczema, often associated with swelling, itching, redness and irritation.

What is eczema, dermatitis and psoriasis?

Eczema is a dry skin condition which makes skin feel itchy, dry and irritated. Dermatitis is a sort of inflammation triggered when the skin comes in contact with something irritable, like harsh additives or disinfectants. Psoriasis is characterised by flaky, red skin patches covered in silver scales, which may be sore and itchy. Flare-ups of eczema and psoriasis may involve:

• Dry skin
• Redness
• Itching
• Blisters
• Cracked skin
• Inflammation

Managing eczema and dermatitis

Skin specialist advice - Skin specialists often advise people with eczema or dermatitis to use emollient (moisturising) skin products, including creams and bath oils, to keep moisture in the skin. This can make your skin more resistant to flare-ups. Avoid using soap and heavily scented products.

If a rash comes back - Sometimes people with dermatitis find their rash soon comes back after treatment or never disappears completely. This is often because they are still in contact with their trigger, i.e. what causes the reaction.

Common triggers of eczema and dermatitis include:

• Jewellery, including earrings or studs (especially gold-plated earrings)
• Coins
• Watch buckles, metal straps or the metal back of a watch
• Metal studs or fastenings on jeans, bras or underwear.

All of these have a metal in them called nickel, which is a very common trigger. If you react badly to nickel, all of the triggers in the list could be a problem. So, if you’ve reacted badly to one of the common triggers, you’ll need to watch out for the other common triggers. 

 Other common triggers of eczema and dermatitis include:

• In the home: such as plasters, furniture polish, varnishes, rubber gloves or elastic in clothes
• In substances you use at work, such as glues, oils, lubricants or cement
• In the garden: certain plants and weeds, gardening gloves.

How to use Eumovate Cream

• Adults and children 12 years and over: Use the cream once or twice daily for up to 7 days.
• Wash and dry your hands.
• Squeeze out the correct amount of cream onto your index finger.
• Half a fingertip will cover a patch of skin the same size as the palm of your hand.
• Gently rub cream into the skin you are treating once or twice a day.
• Wash your hands again (unless it is your hands you are treating).

How much Eumovate Cream to use

• Squeeze out the cream along the top of your index finger
• Squeeze the cream halfway to your fingertip from the crease in your finger. This will cover a patch of skin the same size as the palm of your hand.
• Use the fingertip unit as a guide. For smaller areas, use a smaller amount. This cream is not meant to treat large areas.
• If you use too much of the cream by mistake, don’t worry – but try to keep to the fingertip unit.
• Half a fingertip will cover a patch of skin the same size as the palm of your hand.

Important information about Eumovate

Eumovate contains a moderate steroid and should only be used for short-term use (maximum one week). Thin layers of Eumovate must be applied, as steroids thin the skin.

What is constipation?

Normal and regular bowel movement is important for most people. However, what is 'normal and regular' varies from person to person. Some may have a bowel movement every day, others less often. Whatever it is like for you, it is best that your bowel movement has a regular pattern.

Constipation is an occasional problem for some people. For others, it may happen more often. It happens when the normal muscle actions in the bowel (large intestine) slow down. This can mean that material is not easily eliminated from the body.

The cause of constipation is often not known. It can be associated with:

• A sudden change in diet
• A diet with not enough fibre
• Not drinking enough fluid
• Loss of 'tone' of the bowel muscles in older people
• Pregnancy
• Medicines such as morphine or codeine
• Having to stay in bed for a long time
• Lack of exercise

Whatever the cause, constipation can be uncomfortable. It may make you feel bloated and heavy or generally 'off-colour'.

Sometimes it causes headaches. It is recommended to use changes in diet and bulk forming medicines to control constipation before using this medicine

These healthy tips are recommended to try to prevent constipation happening:

• Eat a balanced diet including fresh fruit and vegetables
• Drink enough water so that you do not become dehydrated
• Keep up your exercise and stay fit
• Make time to empty your bowels when your body tells you

What is AproDerm Barrier Cream

With its advanced triple-action formula, AproDerm Barrier Cream is designed to protect, moisturise and condition the skin. This gentle, long-lasting, transparent cream forms a breathable layer on the skin defending it from further damage whilst helping to soothe, protect and heal. Scientifically developed to be free from SLS, parabens, and fragrances, which can irritate delicate and vulnerable skin, it is gentle enough for everyone, from newborn babies to the elderly. Dermatologically tested, cruelty-free and suitable for vegans, AproDerm Barrier Cream is everyone's best friend.

So, suppose you're looking for a gentle skin barrier cream to help ease the discomfort and distress of your little one's nappy rash or simply as an addition to an incontinence care routine. In that case, this versatile barrier cream is a perfect choice.

How to use AproDerm Barrier Cream

A nappy rash is skin irritation. It occurs when your precious little one's delicate skin is exposed to prolonged wetness and contact with wee and poo in their nappy. It's made worse by the nappy rubbing against the sensitive skin. Prevention is always better than cure or treatment, so follow these three simple steps to care for and protect your baby's delicate skin from the causes of nappy rash:

• Gently clean your baby's nappy area from front to back using either cotton balls dampened with water or wipes that are fragrance-free and soap-free
• Make sure to clean all the creases too.
• Put an appropriate clean nappy (make sure it's the correct size as we don't want it rubbing or leaking!) under your baby's bottom and gently pat the area dry with a clean cloth, ensuring that you don't rub
• Softly apply a thin layer of AproDerm Barrier Cream to reduce the risk of nappy rash or to help heal if the nappy rash is already present. A penny-sized amount will do just fine (this covers an area of 100 cm2 – roughly the size of a square coaster). If you apply too much, the site will become greasy.
• Stroke the cream gently onto the skin, ensuring it gets into the creases. Avoid rubbing the area.
• AproDerm Barrier cream is so gentle it can be applied to the baby's bottom after every nappy change if required, up to 10 times a day. It is essential to use at nighttime, as your baby is in their nappy the longest without a change.

Be sure to change the nappy regularly to reduce your baby's skin contact with wee and poo. You should talk to your health visitor or GP for severe nappy rash or if your baby develops a temperature with inflammation.
