The dry, scaly rash that is typical of eczema symptoms frequently causes itching which can become unbearable, particularly at night.

Sufferers of itchy skin - especially young children - tend to scratch the inflamed patches.

When scratching is hard enough to break the itchy skin, the inflamed area may also become infected. In the long run, repeated scratching can lead to permanent skin thickening.

It is therefore important to provide itching relief alongside a programme of eczema treatment to manage eczema symptoms.

E45 Itch Relief Cream treats itchy, irritated dry skin caused by eczema, dermatitis, pruritus and other dry scaly skin problems. This itch relief remedy treats and soothes the itchy skin.

Formulated with lauromacrogols, an anti-itch ingredient, and urea, a moisturiser found naturally in the skin, this itch relief remedy moisturises affected areas to bring itching relief.
