Sensitive skin

[qingwen]

I have been prescribed Diprobase for dermatitis and do not use a moisturiser due to the skin irritation-is Diprobase a moisturiser in itself?

[Dr Emma Wedgeworth]

Yes, Diprobase is essentially a medical moisturiser known as an emollient. It's primary function is to hydrate the skin and repair your skin barrier. Always stick to non-fragranced moisturisers and if you find creams to irritating, you may find that ointment emollients are better.

Hope that helps.
