What is Diprobase eczema cream?

It is an emollient moisturising and protective cream used to soothe, smooth and hydrate the skin and stop further moisture loss. It contains a mixture of liquid paraffin and white soft paraffin which relieves and soothes red, inflamed, damaged, dry, or chapped skin. It is particularly effective in the treatment of eczema and other dry skin conditions.

How to apply Diprobase?

Apply the cream as directed by your health professional. You should consult your doctor or pharmacist for advice if you are unsure how much to use.  

Apply the cream to the affected areas and gently rub it into the skin. The number of times the cream should be applied daily will vary based on the severity of the dryness and skin damage.

If being used for eczema, you may wish to apply before bathing in order to prevent the skin from drying further.

If the condition of your skin gets worse or is not improving with use, stop using the cream and consult a doctor or pharmacist for alternative treatment.

If you forget to apply the cream, apply as soon as you remember and proceed as normal, there’s no benefit to applying more than the regular amount.
