### How does Dermol Cream work?
Dermol Cream has two types of active ingredients. Benzalkonium chloride and chlorhexidine dihydrochloride are antimicrobials that combat bacteria on the skin that can worsen eczema and prevent infection caused by scratching itchy skin. Liquid paraffin and isopropyl myristate are emollients that help to soften, moisturise, and protect the skin by trapping moisture in the skin and restoring the normal protective function of the skin. They also prevent the skin-drying and irritant effects that can be caused by washing and bathing and by the soaps, foaming additives, and fragrances used in ordinary skin cleansing products.
### 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 anyone use Dermol Cream?
Yes, Dermol Cream is suitable for all age groups, including babies.
### Can I use other emollients or treatments with Dermol Cream?
Yes, Dermol Cream 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.
### How do I perform a patch test for a new skincare product?
To perform a patch test for a new skincare product, apply the product to a small patch of skin where it is unlikely to accidentally wash or rub away, such as the inside of the arm or bend of the elbow. Apply the product as thickly as you would when using it regularly and leave it on the patch of skin for as long as it would normally be on the skin. If the product is something you would usually wash off, keep the patch on for 5 minutes or as long as the instructions advise. Repeat the patch test twice a day for between 7-10 days, as a reaction may not happen immediately. If your skin reacts to the product, wash it off as soon as possible and stop using it.
### What should I do if I forget to use Dermol Cream?
If you occasionally forget to use it, do not worry, just carry on using the product as described the next time you require it.
###What happens if I apply too much Dermol Cream?
There is no added risk associated with applying too much Dermol Cream. The skin will become greasy if it cannot absorb the cream but none of the ingredients in Dermol Cream is harmful should you apply too much cream. Simply wipe off excess cream if necessary.
