I hate being so sensitive and having loads of allergies. Asthma, hayfever, eczema plus I am allergic to loads of stuff.
This year has been the worst for my hayfever!!!!
For the past month or so I have 'erupted' in what looks like irritant contact dermatitis/ezcema around my eyes and one my ring fingers. The thing is, I cannot get a doctors appointment until next week.
Any medical type people - I have been using E45 and another mild hydrocortisone cream but it is not working that great. Is there anything that you could recommend that I could buy over the counter in the meantime until my appointment?
Anyone having major probs with allergies too this year?

I dont about know about creams, ask at a Pharamcy, they should be able to help.
My hayfever and skin allergies have been horrendous this year for some reason.
I use Aveeno lotion - it is the first moisturiser that has ever helped... you just need to make sure you are applying it a few times a day to keep the skin soft...
Every time I've had that, I've been told not to put it on my face. Did they know that's what you were planning to do with it?
i actually have an 'unusually high' allergy to grass. :grump:
And no, it shouldnt be used on your face, or large areas, or broken skin.
