Eczema

Eczema, also known as dermatitis, is a skin condition with symptoms that vary from person to person. In mild cases of eczema the skin is red, dry and scaly which can make the area itchy. In more severe cases there may be weeping, crusting and bleeding. Eczema affects people off all ages and it is very common in children.

According to the National Eczema Society around one in five children and one in twelve adults has eczema.

If you know someone who suffers from eczema you’ll understand how important it is to keep the skin soft and supple. Sudocrem Antiseptic Healing Cream can be used effectively for this purpose and can ease the itchy feeling caused by the condition. The active ingredients maintain the skin’s natural moisture and work to keep it healthy, soft and supple.

 

Chilblains

Chilblains are small swellings on the skin usually caused by cold temperatures. They often affect toes, fingers, heels, ears and noses. Chilblains can be uncomfortable, but the good news is that they can be prevented.

The best way to prevent chilblains is to limit your exposure to the cold, but this is of course not always possible. Sudocrem Antiseptic Healing Cream can soothe and relieve the discomfort and promote skin healing.

 

Pressure sores

Pressure sores, also known as bedsores or pressure ulcers, are caused when skin is placed under pressure for long periods of time. This pressure disrupts blood flow, the skin becomes starved of oxygen and it begins to break down.

To prevent pressure sores, change position frequently or use supports (such as a specially designed cushion or mattresses) to protect the body. If you know someone who is suffering from pressure sores then Sudocrem Antiseptic Healing Cream can help to treat the condition, relieve the pain and create a barrier to help protect the skin from infection. If symptoms persist, consult a doctor as soon as possible.
