FAQ: Why do regular ointments sting on eczema skin?

Inflamed eczema skin has a compromised barrier with exposed nerve endings that can react to certain ingredients in standard ointments - particularly preservatives, fragrances and even some emollients in sensitive individuals. QV Dermcare Sting-Free Ointment is formulated to minimise these stinging ingredients while still providing intensive emollient therapy, making it possible to apply effective moisturisation even during active flares when standard ointments are not tolerated.

FAQ: Can Sting-Free Ointment be used on children with eczema?

Yes - this is one of the primary use cases for QV Dermcare Sting-Free Ointment. Children with eczema often refuse emollient application due to stinging - a sting-free formula enables consistent emollient use which is the cornerstone of eczema management. Our pharmacist can advise on building an appropriate QV Dermcare eczema management routine for your child.
