It is associated with dry skin, but can also make your skin feel sore, itchy, and inflamed and can cause redness and cracks in the skin. It can occur all over the body, flaring up in small patches in some sufferers and being much more widely spread in others. Some of the most common places where people experience eczema include: 

• Hands
• Ankles
• In skin folds, such as the insides of your elbows or the backs of your knees
• Face and scalp, especially in children

How does Cetraben Cream help to relieve eczema?Cetraben Cream is an emollient which means it helps to ease eczema and other dry skin conditions by forming a protective layer over the skin. This layer helps to keep moisture locked into the skin, keeping it from drying out further. It also helps to keep out irritants, like harsh soaps or detergents, which can aggravate sensitive skin, giving your skin the protection it needs as it heals. Can this emollient cream be used for psoriasis?Psoriasis is another dry skin condition that is like eczema in many ways but can cause silver, scaly patches of dry skin. When doctors diagnose psoriasis, they usually recommend emollients like Cetraben Cream as one of the first treatments for the condition. Sometimes emollients are used to moisturise the skin before applying a topical treatment if this is how you plan to use this product make sure to wait at least 30 minutes between applying Cetraben and your topical treatment for best results.Can I use this product if I’m pregnant?Cetraben Cream is unlikely to cause any problems if you use it during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.
