I have suffered from a skin condition on the back of my hands, that is akin to what we would call 'detergent hands'. My hands were red, inflamed, having small blisters that weeped, the skin was dry, flaking and itchy. This was a vicious cycle of itch - scratch - irritate - itch syndrome and was generally uncomfortable. I had tried everything in respect to different creams such as steroid creams, antihistamine, E45 for eczema, Germolene, antiseptic, Sudo-cream for nappy rash and eczema, Vitamin E oil, etc., etc. and NOT ONE seemed to shift the condition. You will therefore appreciate my skepticism regarding the use of the Trauma Gel. I applied some cream to the affected area and noticed how easily it rubbed in and then continued to go about my day to day duties. Not holding out much hope for success and as I did not have at work the digital camera, a pre-application photo was not taken. Anyway, I thought, what could this cream do that other creams have tried and failed? I could always take a photo in a few days or so I thought. Friday night at bedtime I applied a second application of the cream. Saturday morning - what an improvement - I mean a visual and physically beneficial improvement. I continued using the cream twice a day over the weekend - by Tuesday my hands are almost fully recovered - I mean NO redness, NO itchiness, NO flaky dry skin - I mean CURED. During this time I have had my brother in law visiting our house virtually everyday and he has a skin condition on his wrist which I can only describe as Elephant Skin - thick, wrinkled, itching, etc. He has also seen significant improvements to the condition. The cream has worked and provided results I thought were unobtainable in such a short space of time. So quick, that I have not had the chance to take 'as it happens' photos.
