'Shaving' Foam to stop Hangman's Neck...
Last trip I was away, I used some stuff from one of the other dives on the boat which looked like shaving foam (but wasn't) and called something like Dermoprotect; it was quite successful in preventing Hangman's neck. I have a maximum of 9 dives planned starting monday and I would like to get hold of some of the stuff. I have tried BioSeals and whilst they work, I don't want to risk splitting the seal while on this trip.

Any ideas what the stuff is called and where I can get it from?

Regards

Son, you're going to have to make up your mind about growing up and becoming aircrew. You can't do both.

The aircraft limits are only there in case there is another flight by that particular aircraft. If subsequent flights do not appear likely, there are no limits.

Sounds like it was a aerosol barrier cream that you would use in a workshop or garage.

RS sold it but there website is down, i did find this one - DermaShield

Siopel also works. (Available from Boots). It's an antiseptic waterproof barrier cream. As far as I can tell it doesn't harm latex seals.

Not suitable if you're allegic to peanuts though!!

edit: Siopel contains peanut oil so it's not suitable....

It use to be two dives at the weekend and the noose marks lasted the week.
Now I do a week diving and have a few little blotches.

Puffin (Diving in Scotland with Puffin Dive Centre I think) sell a lanolin foam that works a treat - called Barrex.

Me and my team have used it for years. 1 can lasts for months.

We buy barrier cream in 20 kg drums. Lovely pink stuff. I have a neoprene seal though so this "hangmans neck" is a foreign concept to me.

Try wiping your neck and the inside of the latex with fresh water on a cloth after every dive mate - works for me. Problem seems to be second dives where dried salt crystals on neck and/or seal react with latex/neck.
