Eczema and dry skin
Eczema and dry skin is usually caused by a lack of the protective oils in the skin that repel irritants.
Creams, emollients and emulsifiers are routinely prescribed by NHS skin specialists to keep skin moisturised.
Acne
Treatments for acne usually prescribed by NHS skin specialists, depending on severity:
- Zineryt (antibiotic)
- Differin (retinoid)
- Epiduo (antibiotic + retinoid)
- Duac (antibiotic + peeling agent)
