Not sure about the cream you have but if you want to be safe, try XMA Ease. The girls here recommended it to me and it's great. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

It is safe provided you use it as directed, but you might find other creams work better.
The backs of my hands went mental when I was first pregnant and it only got worse until it more or less looked like I was wearing fingerless gloves. My doctor prescribed that for me and said it'd be fine, so I used it but not very often and not very much at a time. I've actually found using the body butter I use on my tummy has made it better when the prescribed cream did nothing at all  ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Thanks for all the advice. MW said not to use it as it may contain steroids.so ill go the natural way and try the lucas paw cream.
What body butter are you using jelly? ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Treen, (or any one else), where do you get XMA ease from? Ive just started to get eczema on my face again and would like to get on top of it before it really flares up... Ta  -------------
