Eumovate Eczema & Dermatitis Cream

Eumovate Eczema & Dermatitis Cream - If you have a patch of skin that is itchy, red and dry and you just can't stop scratching, then you could be suffering from skin flare-up. This is a common name for the skin condition medically referred to as eczema or dermatitis.

When your eczema or dermatitis flares up, the constant cycle of itching and scratching can leave you feeling extremely frustrated. That’s where Eumovate Eczema & Dermatitis Cream can help. Nothing is more effective without prescription at relieving the discomfort of itchy, red, dry skin - in fact 9 out of 10 users with eczema or dermatitis would recommend it to a friend.

When your skin becomes irritated, chemicals in the skin cells are released which cause the blood vessels to widen and make the skin red and itchy. Eumovate Eczema & Dermatitis Cream stops the release of these chemicals, actively soothing and treating the inflammation, and can help to break the itch-scratch cycle in just 3 days.

Defining eczema and dermatitis

'Eczema' and 'dermatitis' have similar symptoms characterised by skin flare-up, in which the skin becomes itchy, red and dry. The underlying cause of this is an excessive reaction by the immune system which:

Causes blood vessels to swell, leading to redness

Irritates nerve endings, causing itchiness

Makes skin cells 'leak', resulting in skin swelling and dryness.

In the UK, around 1 in 12 adults suffer from eczema. Sufferers may experience 3-4 episodes per year, lasting on average 28 days (if left untreated), and although it may look unpleasant, eczema/dermatitis is not contagious. Measures can be taken to reduce the frequency and severity of flare-ups, but the skin will always need extra care.

Contact dermatitis

Flare-up can also occur when the skin comes into contact with certain external irritants or allergens. This condition is called contact dermatitis, and can be triggered by a number of different factors.
