P-Vate Side Effects

In a previous post I mentioned I was using an eczema cream sold as P-Vate.  I was told by the pharmacist it was quite strong and I’ve been using it on my fingers around the nail area as I have a few patches of eczema there.

After a week or two of use I’ve noticed some of my nails have gone a bit crinkly, kind of like they have gone soft and been dented a bit.

Could this be that the eczema cream has softened the nails?  Or perhaps it is just a coincidence, either way I will be a bit more careful when applying the cream so as not to get any on the nails.

In my previous post I posted some photos of my eczema before I started using any cream on it.  This photo was taken 21 days after the last set during which I had been applying Eumovate cream 2-3 times per day every day.  As you can see it has gotten much better.

I’ve tried a fair few things and some have worked somtimes whilst some have done nothing at all.

The only thing I have tried that will clear up a patch of eczema everytime I’ve used it is Eumovate:

Of course, it nearly always comes back but its better than nothing.

You can get it over the counter at places like Boots or get it online at Amazon.
