We do have eucerin here!

Other creams you can try are: hydromol, epaderm and centraben. All of them come in a cream or an ointment form. Double base and diprobase creams are also good but can be expensive. You could also ask a pharmacist for recommendations too, rather than the doctors.

You can also get thin cotton gloves that you can wear after you apply the cream to help protect your hands from the cream rubbing off or scratching your hands etc.

Have you been feeling stressed lately? Sometimes stress can cause eczema to come back, especially if you can't think of any physical cause.

Hope your health picks up soon!
