you can get body suits from your Gp long sleeved tops and bottoms i used these some time back when using the ointments at night

i don't think using cling film is the way to go when using this strong steroid over night
take care

I use cling film over Vaseline as it is the only thing that stops the sole of my foot cracking open. I have been told recently though that it shouldn't be done 24 hours per day or I'll get trench foot. Not sure if this is true or not.

I would go for "tubifast" bandages (google them for a full description) instead of cling-film, but only over moisturiser, NOT steroids.

Tubifast can be prescribed on the NHS (although the gloves no longer can be for some inexplicable reason). They are fast to use, let your skin breathe whilst under "occlusion" and are washable.
