Can I use wet dressings with an ointment?

I've been using Epaderm Ointment with wet dressings for a couple of days and have had no problems with it. I read one of the articles about itch busters and saw that oils and water don't mix. However, the Epaderm ointment I have been using has an emulsifying wax as an ingredient which should help mix oil and water.

I'm a bit confused as to what to do and if my skin will weaken if I continue. I'm not an expert on this, so can someone please help me

Hi James,


Thanks for your great question! It's great that you've found relief using Epaderm Ointment with wet dressings however do you find that your skin becomes dry the following day?


When employing wet wipes, we suggest utilizing a product such as 24-Hour Rescue balm, which contains higher amounts of oil and shea butter and lower water content. This can help fortify your skin barrier.


Please let me know if you have any further questions on this.
