Question 1

How should I use Dermol 200 Shower Emollient 200ml?

Accepted Answer

Use Dermol 200 Shower Emollient only on the skin. For maximum benefit you should use this product on a regular basis and whenever you shower.

The same instructions apply for all age groups who normally shower:-

To use Dermol 200 Shower Emollient, remove the hooked overlap and attach it to the base of the bottle for hanging in the shower.

Holding the bottle upside down, gently squeeze the product into the palm of your hand.

For use as a soap substitute

Use Dermol 200 Shower Emollient to wash with instead of ordinary soap or shower gel. It will not foam or lather like ordinary cosmetic products.

After washing or showering, pat the skin dry with a soft towel (avoid rubbing as this can make dry skin conditions worse).

Use Dermol 200 Shower Emollient as a leave-on application (e.g. after showering):

Apply Dermol 200 Shower Emollient to the affected areas.

Gently smooth into the skin.

If necessary, allow time for any excess to soak in. Do not rub the skin vigorously.

Reapply as often as required.

If you are applying another treatment to the same areas of skin as Dermol 200 Shower Emollient, try to avoid mixing the two products. This can be achieved by applying the treatments alternately, leaving sufficient time to allow the previous application to soak in.

Question 2

Question 3

General advice on looking after dry skin conditions

Accepted Answer

Emollients help soften, moisturise and protect the skin. They play a central role in the treatment and management of dry skin conditions. For maximum effect, they should be applied regularly and as often as needed.

When bathing, try to use warm, not hot, water and avoid staying in the bath for long periods. This could make dry skin conditions worse.

Try to avoid using normal soaps or shower products (even those labelled “moisturising”). This is because they tend to dry and irritate the skin. Avoid using products containing fragrances, as these can also cause skin problems. You should try to use a fragrance-free emollient “soap substitute” instead. This type of product will not foam or lather but will be better for your dry skin condition.

Question 4

How to break the itch-scratch cycle

Accepted Answer

Some dry skin conditions like eczema and dermatitis are itchy and can be quite sore. Although scratching relieves the itching for a short while, it further damages the skin. Badly scratched skin easily gets infected. This makes it itchier and the urge to scratch becomes even greater. It is better if scratching can be avoided by reducing the itching. The regular use of emollients or moisturisers can help with this.
