The maximum quantity of four 15 g tubes per year was considered by the PBAC to be adequate for effective intermittent treatment for most patients. 3,4 This limit is intended to prevent more liberal usage, for example, on skin areas other than the face or, for Listing 2, continued use beyond 3 weeks. 3 The skin will start to form scabs as it heals. Once a scab has formed, stop using the Vaseline on that part and apply a moisturiser such as unperfumed sorbolene. Continue to use the Vaseline on the burnt areas that have not yet formed a scab. Burns usually heal on their own with time, as long as they are looked after well. Proper burns management will also help minimise scarring. A physiotherapist and/or an occupational therapist can help with this. See our fact sheet

Moderately potent to potent corticosteroids should only be used on the face or flexures under close supervision, and for a maximum of 7 days, because of the increased possibility of skin atrophy. 16 Table 2. Emollients are often used to help manage dry, itchy or scaly skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis and ichthyosis.

We all know that coconut oil is amazing, and it has about fifteen million uses, but lube? Not one of them. Megan explains: The next step is to cool the skin. “It’s not so much the tomatoes or teabags [that people use that are effective], it’s that there’s liquid in them and it’s the liquid cooling the skin,” Smith said.Anti- pruritic ingredients: include lauromacrogols (which exert a mild anaesthetic effect), menthol, and oatmeal; They can be used to replace lost moisture whenever your skin feels dry or tight. They're very safe and you cannot overuse them.

If your skin stings after using an emollient wash product and does not settle after rinsing, ask a pharmacist to recommend a different product. Using emollients with other skin treatments Very dry skin may benefit from a greasy, occlusive moisturiser applied every couple of hours, while slightly dry skin may only need a light moisturiser at night. Dry skin is a major factor in atopic dermatitis and can be controlled with regular use of emollients. Apply an emollient at least once daily, and 2–3 times daily for severely dry skin. Children should use a dispersible bath oil. 6 See Table 1 for a list of emollients and their properties. Table 1.Megan says: ‘Sudocrem creates a barrier on the skin to promote the skin’s healing process, and is specifically designed for cuts, burns and nappy rash. It does not get absorbed into the skin, and so would linger in the vagina and on the penis and vulval area. It also contains liquid paraffin and citric acid, which can upset the delicate flora of the vagina.’ Bio Oil
