Instead of iLex, try Calmoseptine. You should be able to find it at any pharmacy.

It is supposed to be a better barrier cream than ilex.

Good luck!

Natisha,

You may want to try compound pharmacy in your area. If they don't have it, then they can surely order one for you. I have one that I don't use. I can mail it to you if you want, but it won't be until after Saturday as I am out of town right now. You can PM me.
Also, Calmoseptine is a good moisture barrier but if skin is already breaking down then don't use Calmoseptine. It will burn like fire due to zinc in it. It is only good to create protection, not to treat – that’s my opinion.
I use A+D and Desitin which seem to work on broken skin when I place a cotton ball in between so both sides of skin don't rub against each other.

Here are a couple of sites that have it and it seems to be in stock (but I didn't go all the way to check out so maybe they're out too):

Ilex 1
Ilex 2
Ilex 3 - case of 12
Ilex 4

I hope you find it. I really know and understand what your daughter is going through. If you can't find it, try Nupercainal. It has numbing ingredients and is always soothing going on.

Thank you everyone for the information and advice!

She has used Calmoseptine in the past and it did burn like fire, so she won't use that again. I emailed those links for ordering some more, hopefully some place has it in stock. I will let her know about the Desitin and A&D and also the Nupercainal. I wish there was a similar product like Ilex out there, it would make her life easier! I wish it wasn't so expensive either. She did find a company that has a couple in stock, but they are charging her double the price but she is desperate.
Thanks again everyone!

My son had same issue. Blamed worked wonders and he had skin raw n bleeding. Saved him!

I have used just zinc oxide and it worked great. Also, very cheap and very easy to find.

Ilex is available again. I had an email stating that I can expect my order to be delivered in 3 days.

Hi, I hope you found an iLex supply. In case you didn't, I buy mine from here: www.ilexhealthproducts.com.

 

I believe if you are in England/ Wales iLex is now available on prescription.
