DERMATITIS
SYMPTOMS |
|
|
When the skin is dry it becomes itchy. It is important to
moisturise the skin with emollients, e.g. aqueous cream or
emulsifying ointment applied to damp skin after bathing.
Emollients are available in ointment or cream formulations.
Ointments tend to be greasier and as such are useful for very dry
skin. The moisturiser should be applied twice a day to the skin and
can also be used in the bath. |
