Pure And Gentle Skincare Uses Mouth Care Awareness Month To Highlight Oral Mucositis Treatments to Sufferers

November is Mouth Cancer Action Month and Pure and Gentle Skincare, a specialist online resource centre and shop for skin conditions, has added two products, Evomucy and Evodry, to its range which can help relieve the symptoms of Oral Mucositis, a common side affect for those undergoing chemo and radiotherapy treatments.

Evomucy comes in a Mouth Wash or Spray which helps relieve the pain of ulcers and oral discomfort and Evodry Mouth Spray allows for a quick and convenient application to relieve mouth dryness when talking and eating become uncomfortable. According to research and clinical trials from America and Europe both products can have benefits for people with Oral Mucositis.

“Pure And Gentle Skincare provides an online shop and resource centre for skincare complaints and as such we spend a great deal of time researching specialist skin treatment products and making them available to anyone who has on-line access,” explains Lisa Clunie, founder of Pure And Gentle Skincare.

“The purpose of Mouth Cancer Action Month is to raise the profile of a disease that’s diagnosed in 5,000 people annually and kills almost 2000 people in the same time-frame, however early diagnosis improves survival chances to more than 90%. At Pure and Gentle Skincare we feel that it’s important for its sufferers to be able to obtain relief from the uncomfortable side affects that can arise when undergoing treatment, which is why we have added Evomucy and Evodry to our cancer treatment range,” she adds.

Characterised by a red, swollen and ulcerated mouth and tongue, there are four stages of Oral Mucositis. Stage One and Two are mild and characterised by soreness and the beginning of ulceration. During Stages Three and Four Oral Mucositis is more severe, suffers cannot tolerate solid food. Many people develop mild Oral Mucositis as a result of cancer therapy but stages three and four are less common.

Evomucy and Evodry are now available from Pure And Gentle Skincare and are priced at Evomucy Mouth Wash and Evodry £12 and Evomucy Spray £15. For further information go to www.pureandgentleskincare.com.
