It is free from parabens and can be applied to the whole body twice a day. Varicose eczema – a long-term condition also known by other names, including venous, gravitational, or stasis eczema. It shares its name with the condition varicose veins, which it commonly develops alongside, particularly in older women. In fact, this type of eczema affects as many as 70% of people over 70. People with a history of obesity or deep vein thrombosis are also more likely to develop varicose eczema. If your eczema is caused by an irritant, such as the chemicals in soaps, detergents, bubble baths, and shower gels, avoiding those triggers can help reduce the risk of flare ups. Even if your current soaps or toiletries aren’t obviously the cause of your eczema, you might benefit from switching to a fragrance-free, and more moisturising emollient-based soap. Don’t scratch Eczema can damage this barrier, making the skin unable to retain water, which makes it dry and sensitive. This contributes to chronic dry, itchy skin, which can cause eczema to flare-up or get worse. When it first develops, discoid eczema often appears as a group of small spots or bumps on the skin. Over time, these join to form larger patches of pink or red swollen and itchy skin. On darker skin, these patches can look dark brown and typically appear paler than the surrounding skin.

Use plenty – the current recommendation is that an adult should use at least 500g of emollient every week, while children should use 250g. Don’t worry, as you cannot use too much. For Very Dry, Itchy Skin: Babies with very dry, itchy skin are more prone to regular irritation and itchiness. Also suitable for little ones who may be prone to eczemaSmooth, don’t rub – do not rub products in. Instead, gently smooth them onto your skin in the same direction your hair grows. Some people seem to develop varicose eczema with no apparent cause, but there are certain things that can increase your risk of developing the condition. These include: History of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) – blood clots caused by DVT can damage the veins in your lower legs.

AVEENO Baby Dermexa™ Emollient Cream is specially formulated for babies with very dry, itchy skin who are more prone to regular irritation and itchiness. Enriched with ceramides, an essential component of the skin structure, the formula helps to strengthen the skin barrier function. If you need to soothe the itching, try gently rubbing the patch of skin instead of scratching. Keeping your nails short and your skin covered as much as possible can also help to limit any damage caused by accidental scratching. Emollients or topical corticosteroids Get the right moisturiser – choose an emollient or moisturiser that’s perfume- and additive-free as they’re typically gentler on your dry and sensitive skin. Be gentle – gently pat your skin dry after washing and apply the emollient while the skin is still damp. This helps retain moisture.
