I am about to spend a year in the USA and need to identify equivalent or similar products for costing in advance (whether over the counter or prescription-only).
Furthermore I would appreciate any brand names for 2-way stretch bandage for regular light pressure-wear (such as tubifast) on sale in the USA. Thank you.

elgordo78 how are you, i cared for a relative who had several skin graphs, he did not have the other, but my children had bad eczema and i would while skin was wet put ucerin or cocoa butter thick cream or ointment with the wet towel wipe off--- easily bring the skin back, sometimes baby oil on a wet clothe--daily or every other day they are very inexpensive-rite aide stores,cvs pharmacy store, walgreens, health and beauty aide stores, or even hydrochlorothiazide (ointment) that works too, its over the counter steroid ointment-use that sparingly- it thins the linen of your skin-so be careful with that one... good luck hope i was helpful--- change your soaps to dove, caress, olive oil and castor oil soaps(black,gold bar) vtech10
