Shaving cream and Excema

by excema, Jul 10, 2008 12:26PM
My husband suffers from life-long excema.  I'm trying to find all kinds of aids for him - from inside to out.  One item that I haven't looked at is the shaving cream.  I think that has a lot of irritants in it too.  Can you suggest a brand of shaving lotion suitable for someone with chronic excema?


Thank you!

Hi

Eczema is a chronic inflammatory skin condition and may persist or recur given the right elements or triggers such as sweat, heat, spicy food and extreme temperatures. There might be an allergic component to this and you are in the right track looking for organic or hypoallergenic products your husband can use.

Here is  a url which may contain a list of skin products for sensitive skin. Just inform your dermatologist prior to using any of these:
