Re: Varicose Eczema
Hi there,
There is no good evidence that one moisturiser is better than the other, so this is a good start.
Make sure you avoid soaps and shower gels and use your moisturiser as a wash. If your legs are very itchy, you may need a steroid based cream to settle the itching down.
Compression stockings are very helpful to prevent varicose eczema from getting worse.
