Wet Wipes Provide Lifelong Eczema
Wet wipes in Denmark is pulled back after multiple people has reportedly gotten eczema from using the wipes Wet wipes containing the preservative methylisothiazolinone (MI), can cause allergies . That is the warning from researchers. - We already have more than 10 years ago decided not to apply MI - and other substances of concern - in our own brands , but now we are taking the unusual step of pulling branded completely out of the stores. The reason is that a new report by the EU Scientific Committee has concluded that the use of MI are not sure . Then we will no longer sell a product that contains it , to be used for babies The problem is that the drug can cause eczema , and you get it as a baby , you will have it for life . Wet wipes did this to an eight- year-old girl - The substance is also used in some products for adults , and here we recommend our suppliers as soon as possible to remove the products , d The number of confirmed cases of allergies due to MI just a few years doubled. It has got the EU Scientific Committee to recommend a ban , but it will probably take years before it will take effect.

Re: Wet Wipes Provide Lifelong Eczema
Just looked at some impetigo victims but it looks more like a combo because impetigo is more spotty where eczema is more a grid'd pattern or maybe it's caused by the methylisothiazolinone.
