###What symptoms or conditions can be treated with Dermol 500 Lotion?
Dermol 500 Lotion is a versatile product that can help treat and prevent dry and itchy skin conditions, particularly eczema and dermatitis. It is an antimicrobial and emollient treatment that is suitable for all age groups, including babies. It can be used as a leave-on application or as a soap substitute to soften, moisturise and protect the skin by trapping moisture in the skin and restoring the normal protective function of the skin.

###What are the active ingredients in Dermol 500 Lotion?
Dermol 500 Lotion contains two types of active ingredients: Benzalkonium chloride and chlorhexidine dihydrochloride, which are antimicrobials that combat bacteria present on the skin, and liquid paraffin and isopropyl myristate, which are emollients that soften, moisturise, and protect the skin by trapping moisture in the skin.
### What does it mean that Dermol has antimicrobial properties?
Antimicrobial properties mean that Dermol kills microorganisms or stops their growth on the skin. This can help when treating skin conditions such as eczema and dermatitis as it helps combat bacteria on the skin that can worsen the symptoms. The antimicrobial properties can also help prevent inflammation caused by scratching itchy skin.
###Can Dermol 500 Lotion be used with other emollients or treatments?
Yes, Dermol 500 Lotion can be used in addition to any other emollients or treatments your doctor or pharmacist may have given or prescribed for you to treat your dry skin condition.
###Can Dermol 500 Lotion be used during pregnancy and breastfeeding?
Yes, Dermol 500 Lotion can be used during pregnancy and whilst breastfeeding, although safety trials have not been conducted.
###What is the difference between lotions and creams for skin care?
Lotions have a higher water content and are less greasy than creams, making them quickly absorbed by the skin, and are ideal for normal to lightly dry skin in summer and warm months. On the other hand, creams have a 50/50 mix of water and oil, providing a heavier barrier for very dry skin, and are an ideal skin care product for winter and cold months. Creams tend to feel greasier than lotions because they contain more oil.
