dd has really bad ezcema and over the last few months she has been prescribed a range of emoliants to see what will help. She has been prescribed aquaous cream, doublebase, diprobase, dermol in 500g containers to try and help her. Dd has had best results with the diprobase and dermol. I can't help feeling that the sheer amounts of the emoliants we have have been prescribed has been a waste. If dd's ezcema does not clear up then we will see a dermalogist and might get prescribed more emoliants and steriods.
I would like the nhs to prescribe 100g pots when trying out an emoilant. If a patient really does not get results with a particular medication then it would be less of a waste of money. Maybe the GP could have a two part prescription. If emoliant A is a sucess then please cash in prescription B for big pot of emoliant A or make another appointment to discuss dratted ezcema.
Another gripe is that I would like better information on how to use the emoliants/ steriods prescribed so that dd's ezcema is beaten. We have no pets and use non bio washing powder. Dd wears cotton and I am not sure what is causing her ezcema.

To think that emoliants should be prescribed in far smaller amounts initally
