Eczema
Zi Cao Shui Gao (Moisturising and healing cream) - 50ml, 200ml
Number one emollient cream moistening all dry eczemas but also has very good cooling blood properties. So is an excellent emollient as well as moisturiser and anti-inflammatory. Use in conjunction with Hu Zhang Shui Gao for dry eczema, or Shi Zhen Shui Gao to moisten and hydrate the skin. Use 3-5 times a day instead of other moisturiser/emollients.
Hu Zhang Shui Gao (Cream) - 30ml, 50ml
For cooling dry, red atopic eczema, and also for moistening and hydrating. Contains Bo He Nao so best to use with caution on babies and on lesions around the eyes.
I always prescribe it with Zi Cao Shui Gao
Huang Lian Shui Gao (Cream) - 30ml, 50ml
Use for dry atopic eczema. Infantile, childhood or adult. Either localized or with widespread erythema with profuse scaling (subsequent to inflammation), and severe itching. One disadvantage is the yellow colour it leaves on the skin so not cosmetically suitable for the face.
I always prescribe it with Zi Cao Shui Gao.
Huang Lian Gao (Ointment) - 30ml, 50ml
Use for dry atopic eczema. Infantile, childhood or adult. Either localized or with widespread erythema with profuse scaling (subsequent to much inflammation) and severe itching. Also used for hot Lichen Simplex.
The only problem is the oily nature of the ointment. In practice some patients find it really good, others don’t...which is very typical with external medicine.
I always prescribe it with Zi Cao Shui Gao.
Shi Zhen Shui Gao (Cream) - 30ml, 50ml
For all eczemas. Can be a little drying, which makes it most appropriate for slightly wet eczemas, or well-circumscribed oedematous lesions.
I always prescribe it with Zi Cao Shui Gao to ameliorate the drying effect.
Shi Zhen Gao (Ointment) - 30ml , 50ml
As for Shi Zhen Shui Gao, but an ointment. Has stronger action than Shi Zhen Shui Gao as has more active ingredient (30% as apposed to 10%). Best to use for slightly moist or oedematous lesions, or when the skin is prone to infection.
I always prescribe it with Zi Cao Shui Gao to ameliorate the drying effect.
Zi Cao Run Chun Gao (Lip salve)
For dry, fissured lips. Angular chelitis, exfoliative cheilitis. Contains very similar ingredients to ZI Cao Shui Gao which makes it ideal for dry fissures inflamed skin.
Rich Vitamin E Cream (Cream) - 30ml, 50ml, 200ml
A simple pure cream, with 10% by weight of vitamin E and no fragrance. Occasionally people with eczema may react badly to Zi Cao Shui Gao so this is prescribed instead as an emollient for dry parched and under nourished skin.
Also used as an effective face and neck cream to moisturise and nourish
San Bai San (Powder) - Sachet
Powder for acute phase of pompholyx eczema. Pour boiling water on it, and then stir to dissolve. Once dissolved hold the hands or feet over the steam, this seems counter intuitive but has a good effect to alleviate itching quickly. When the liquid is cool enough place hands or feet in to it, and soak for 15 minutes. Very effective at subduing itch from acute pompholyx.
I always prescribe it with Zi Cao Shui Gao to ameliorate the drying effect as soon as the vesicles have dried.
