Dermovate cream is a topical treatment for more severe forms of skin conditions and irritation. Also commonly referred to as Dermovate ointment, it is considered one of the strongest treatments for flare-ups of eczema, dermatitis, and psoriasis.

You can buy Dermovate cream from Pharmacy Online and enjoy convenient delivery straight to your doorstep. After completing a short assessment, our registered pharmacists will assess whether the ointment is suitable and then issue a prescription.

When to use Dermovate Cream/Ointment?

Dermovate's main uses include:

• Severe Eczema/Dermatitis: Beneficial for severe cases and frequent relapses.
• Psoriasis: To treat localised thickened, scaly patches. However, it's usually not recommended for widespread psoriasis.
• Lichen Planus: A condition that causes itchy and purple-tinted flat bumps on the skin.
• Discoid Lupus Erythematosus: An autoimmune condition that impacts the scalp or face.

If your skin condition doesn't improve with standard treatments, a doctor or pharmacist might recommend Dermovate. Due to its strength, the ointment isn't suitable for everyone, and most use cases are limited to:

• Severe Inflammation: Dermovate is a go-to treatment when other ointments cannot control severe inflammation caused by conditions like eczema or psoriasis.
• Resistant Skin Conditions: If other corticosteroid ointments fail to relieve your skin, Dermovate can provide some relief.

While Dermovate is a highly effective treatment, it's for short-term use only. Prolonged usage could cause skin thinning and other side effects.

Dermovate Cream & Ointment Age Restrictions:

Dermovate is suitable for use in adults and children aged one and over. However, you should always seek medical advice before using the ointment on young children, as it might not suit their unique needs and symptoms.

How to use Dermovate Cream & Ointment?

You can apply Dermovate cream using your hands, but ensure you wash them thoroughly afterwards. The patient information leaflet lists the recommended amounts for adults and children - it's vital to read these instructions before applying the treatment.

Reduce the amount of cream you use for children aged one to two, and remember to use moisturiser when you apply Dermovate cream.

Please note that the ointment is only for use on the skin, and applying it to the genitals or around the eyes can lead to serious side effects.

The following tips ensure you use Dermovate safely:

• Apply a gentle moisturiser to the skin once the ointment is fully absorbed.
• Never apply it on or near broken skin.
• Do not apply Dermovate onto cold sores.
• Keep it out of reach of pets and children.
• Never use Dermovate Cream & Ointment past the expiration date.

When to Avoid Using Dermovate?

You should avoid using Dermovate Cream and Ointment in the following situations:

• Open Wounds: Never use Dermovate on open cuts, wounds, or infected areas of the skin.
• Breastfeeding: Dermovate may pass into breast milk and pose a risk to a breastfeeding baby. If you're nursing, please ask our registered pharmacists for alternative treatment recommendations.
• Pregnancy: While specialists are still exploring whether Dermovate carries risks during pregnancy, it's best to avoid it and seek advice from your doctor first.
• Thin Skin: Avoid applying the ointment to delicate or thin skin, including areas around the eyes and eyelids.

If you're unsure whether Dermovate is right for you, please contact your GP or pharmacist.
