Eumovate Eczema Cream

December 1, 2010

At the moment I am pretty much 100% eczema free.  I cannot tell you what cured my eczema but one cream that I have used consistantly without any problems when I’ve had eczema is Eumovate.  This cream is really good at keeping my eczema under control and compared to some other creams I’ve tried (like P-Vate) it seems to have no side effects.

Although Eumovate keeps the eczema away I would not say it cures it but by using it on any patch of eczema it will reduce it until there is nothing there.  Once you stop using the cream it will come back but at least it gives you a break from the painful itching and scratching.  Once the eczema does come back you can just start using the cream again.  One day the eczema won’t come back and you can stop using the cream.

The instructions inside the recommend you don’t use it for more than seven days in a row but I used it for about two years non stop on the same patch of skin and although there is very, very slight blemish there I cannot say if it was caused by the eczema or the Eumovate cream.  Either way it is a small price to pay for reflief from the itching that comes once the eczema has gone.

You can buy the Eumovate eczema cream over the counter in Boots for about £7 or get it online from amazon.co.uk from £4 which is probably easier as they will deliver it straight to your door.

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.
