Re: E45

I used to get the occasional breakout of dermatitis from working with cement and E45 used to work well for me.

Re: E45

I use Doublebase, I once got some on prescription after a skin problem on my leg, used it ever since for hard skin/moisturising etc.

"Doublebase Hydrating Gel Pump helps to relieve dry, chapped, itchy, red and sore skin associated with eczema, dermatitis and other dry skin conditions that get worse once the skin becomes dried out. When used regularly, it helps to leave skin smooth and soft by locking in moisture and restoring the skin’s natural moisture levels. This will then help to reduce further flare-ups of any particular skin conditions."

Dobra have a word with your gp and ask him/her to prescribe you Betnovate Ointment 30grams.
It is a steriod based cream that will heal the wounds in quick time.
In the past I have tried them all from coconut oil to E45 on my fingers and found Betnovate is the one for me.

Then when it heals trying putting a little Argan Oil on the lower leg every few days just to stop the dryness.

You can only try it.
