Treating Varicose Eczema on the lower legs

Varicose Eczema often develops on the lower legs as people get older. It is common in middle age and older people. It can also be called stasis eczema or gravitational eczema as it is due to poor blood flow in the calf area of the legs. It is quite often accompanied by swollen veins and is very common in people with varicose veins or venous leg problems including deep vein thrombosis. It occurs most often on the inside area of the calf. The eczema often appears scaly,dry , patchy and discoloured with a rusty brown colour and often a pronounced itch. Poor leg circulation results in poor healing due to a lack of nutrient supply to the area. The skin becomes paper-thin so small knocks can result in sores which can develop into leg ulcers.

Varicose Eczema is itchy, inflamed and discoloured eczema on the lower legs. Sometimes the skin may become so thin the skin can split and become infected. Infection will need medical treatment.

David's Psorexederm Cream relives the itch immediately preventing the urge to scratch which can make the problem worse. Psorexederm protects the skin and contains Vitamin A and D which provide nutrients to help heal the skin. The cream contains mineral Zinc Oxide which also has a very soothing healing effect and traditionally has been used for eczema for many years. The unique anti-itch effect is achieved without any cortisone. Cortisone can make the skin become even thinner and should be avoided.

Keep the skin well protected by applying Psorexederm Cream at least twice a day and also at any time itching occurs. The skin will improve as the cream reduces the inflammation, redness and itching. Daily use on a regular basis will improve the skin's appearance and condition. The skin will heal and become more resistant to injury from accidental knocks.

You can expect to see excellent improvement within 14 days of beginning to apply the Psorexederm cream.

NOTE: When the skin is extremely dry over much of the leg you should also use David's Hypoallergenic face and body balm to relieve the dryness and help reverse the thinning and drying of the skin.

In severe cases such as this, We recommend Psorexederm morning and night plus Hypoallergenic Balm 2-3 times during the day. Milder cases will usually recover very quickly with the Psorexederm cream alone. However if dryness continues to be a problem add the moisturising Hypoallergenic Balm during the day to rapidly relieve dryness.
