Since being diagnosed I have been plagued with dry itchy skin. The docs prescribed both E45 and Doublebase creams, but these just seemed to 'melt' the skin and made matters worse.
Finally I sought the advice of our village pharmacist and she suggested Diprobase Ointment (not the cream); wow! A huge difference in 48hrs, and now I use it 2-3 times a week to keep my skin soft and supple.
