    I have had a skin problem for a couple of years now, a dermatitis type rash on my ankles. I have been to the doctor about it and the prescribed medication didn`t work at all. I decided to try some creams off the shelf and finally found one that works really well.

    Boots Botanics Revitalising Body Lotion

    The problem is now that boots ireland don`t stock it anymore because apparently products containing gingko biloba are now illegal in ireland.
    Is this true? :(

    No idea about the ginkgo biloba ban but you could try Bepanthen as an alternative, you can buy it in Boots and Tesco. It's marketed in Ireland and the UK as a 'nappy rash' cream for babies so it's usually near the baby care section.

    It is a stiff ointment but it is really useful for managing mild to moderate dermatitis.
