Up until now I have been using Eumovate eczema which you can get over the counter (OTC) from Boots chemists in England. It says not to use it for more than seven days in a row but I have been using it for a few years with no side-effects so far. As long as I keep using it the eczema stays away but as soon as I stop with the cream the eczema comes back. Although sometimes the eczema does go away but another patch will always spring up in another area.
Recently another small patch sprung up on the end of my right-hand little finger. It was around the nail area and soon spread to the two fingers next to it. As usual I smothered the patches in Eumovate but it was quite a stubborn patch and after about a month or so of daily Eumovate use, although it had calmed down a bit, it was still there. My Eumovate cream ran out and normally I’d go and buy some more but as I’m now living in Thailand I couldn’t find any. I went into a chemist and asked them if they had any eczema cream and they gave me some P-Vate clobetasol propionate cream. The pharmacist said it was very strong and not to use it for more than a few days. I got home and applied the cream and by the next day the skin was already looking much better and now a week later of applying the cream around three times a day it is almost gone.
I don’t know much about this type of cream so hope there are no long term risks of using it long term but for now I am very happy with it.
Is Eumovate sold in the United States?
Hi Lily, I don’t think so no, but I think you can order it from Amazon.co.uk who will ship it to you over there:
Hope this helps.
We’ve had some positive results with the use of our products – one lady in particular was caring for her mother who would develop eczema on her upper torso, none of the normal treatments would clear it up whereas she reported a marked improvement when she started using NewGenn products. The reason for us to comment is this range is available in Korea too (as well as the UK)
