Product Information

Do not over apply. Use in confirmed staphylococcal infection e.g. recurrent folliculitis and impetiginised eczema as per Notts Emollient Formulary.

Angela was great – her delivery was tailored to the staff in the room (e.g. area of work, job role and discussed the products on our formulary). The content was appropriate and very useful and all staff commented on how it will benefit them in practice – they have a better awareness of which products to use when and were already discussing plans on how to relay this information to their colleagues. I feel patient care will definitely improve as a result of staff receiving this training. Registered Nurses including myself are now better equipped at identifying the differences between MASD and pressure damage and which Medi Derma-S products to ease at each stage. Nappy rash is usually irritant dermatitis. The first line of treatment is to change nappies frequently and avoid tight fitting waterproof pants First line options are Epimax ointment, Zeroderm ® emulsifying ointment and Liquid & white soft paraffin ointment (Fifty:50).Reapplication is recommended twice a day, if using adhesive dressings or devices then after each dressing or device change.

Bath and shower emollientsshould never be prescribed see NHSE Items which should not be routinely prescribed in primary care. First line - Balneum ® Plus Cream (100g tube) - also contains lauromacrogols. Use only if emollient alone has not helped itching. WARNING/CAUTION: Even though it may be rare, some people may have very bad and sometimes deadly side effects when taking a drug. Tell your At SFH if needed for other uses eg for lips, then use yellow soft paraffin, available from NHS supplies.
