A member asked:
What body wash/lotion do you recommend for dry itchy skin?? :) preferably brands i can find in australia
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Neither. Eucerin: cream if you can find it. Lotions are drying to the skin.

Eczema skin products: Dry skin usually improves if using sorbolene or aqueous cream instead of soap and having short cool-warm showers instead of long hot showers or baths. Using a moisturiser helps too. Some products labelled 'mild' or 'hypoallergenic' can irritate sensitive skin; try products used for eczema such as QV, Cetaphil, Dermeze or Alpha keri products and check back with your GP if the itching persists.
