British Skin Foundation - Eczema

what is the best soap to use as any soap I use seems to flare up my eczema

[hev_1998]

I find QV gentle was is really good

[alisonchris]

thank you, will try that

[Fateskimo]

I use Nivea Sensitive face wash which seems to work OK, but I use Doublebase or Dermol for shower gel. Those are really good. Much better than Aqueous.

[alisonchris]

thank you will look out for that

[Dr Anjali Mahto]

Soap and foaming cleansers can often aggravate eczema. There are a large number of emollient washes on the market (e.g aveeno, epaderm, cetraben, hydromol, dermol 500 to name a few) and you are much more likely to benefit from these. Your GP or dermatologist will be able to guide you in case there is any doubt.

Best wishes,

Anjali
