What are the creams you've been given for her?

Sorry, but it's something that is unlikely to ever go away completely, the four people i know who have it have necer gotten rid of it.


My Dad's always gets better in summer though, his is on his legs and almost goes away when he is wearing shorts and gets lots of sun- so maybe where possible exposing it to the sun when you can may offer some relief.

Bathing with oatmeal also relieves it somewhat, though again, only temporarily.

ExP used to get me to rub Aqueous cream on his, it at least stopped all the skin going scaley and flaking off- it's dirt cheap, you can get a huge tub in most chemists for two or three pounds and it can be applied as frequently as you want. Cools the skin and relieves the itch a little too.
