Hi all.
Just a quick question, was wondering if anyone here is allergic to E45? Used it on my arm and have a horrible rash, went to doctor and he rubbished the idea that it was the e45 which had caused the rash. He prescribed me with Betnovate cream which seems to have just made the rash worse. From googling this it seems that some people are allergic to liquid paraffin, just wondering if there is anybody on here with any experience in this? Thanks
