Over time, the skin begins to peel off intensively in these places. It requires, among others adequate hydration, which brings relief to the patient.
Eczema is also a disease for which Mediderm cream can be used to relieve symptoms. The inflammation of the skin with pimples, lumps, vesicles, scabs and erosions requires special treatment. The skin burns and itches, so it needs proper hydration.
