Dear Dr Harper:

Please tell me the name of cream, and where can i get it and the way to use it, because i have suffer the same skin condition.

Thanks.

Apparently it was a combination of Cetraben, Culmurid and Eucerin and then a cling film wrap, but it might not work for everyone so best to go to your GP and get their professional opinion.

May Can i have the cream name as i do suffer with bad ichtyosis.

I too suffer from this and i would also like to know what creams were used in this video..

hi i have the same skin problem as the lady with ichthyosis and would like to find out the treatment cream name so i can mention it to my doctor many thanks

I hve suffered this condition all my life, with no solution. Please tell me the cream that she was using. thanks

How do I go about finding out what the names of the creams were so I can suggest it to my doctor, I have had the same condition as Dionne diagnosed but the emolients Ive been using for the last 15 years hardly work. Anyone help?
