Anyone's DC had problems with Dermol stinging?

We were using Diprobase but switched to Dermol yesterday to see if it works any better. 14 m.o. DS has red inflamed and sometimes weepy skin on his face. Fucidin H recently cleared it up but the redness came back as soon as we stopped using it. We're back to the GP next week.

He's been crying lots today & last night, although not the instant I put the Dermol on, so it's hard to guess whether it might be that stinging. We've been using it as a soap substitute for washing his hands/face for several weeks without problems.

Has anyone else found that Dermol stings?

my 3yr old son ended up in hospital with a skin infection and reaction to dermol. Burning red soreness, peeling sometimes browny/yellowy peel and alot of puss and open bloddy sore. The dermatologist said they had noticed this in a lot of children recently, took pics and are investigating Dermol. I am so angry at the pain this has caused him. His skin now hurts and stings even when we use diprobase, epaderm, hydromol, and most recently Eucerin cream with 10% Urea. This reaction to Dermol has sensitised his skin even more. I am now even suspicion of Eumovate, as he cries when this is applied, and says its stings his knees and neck. Dont know what else to do.

Sorry not read the thread but this one caught my eye. My DD looked like a burns victim after Dermol, it was dreadful for her :(
