Dry/cracked skin I don't know how to describe it. It's not like I have dry skin, but more like my arms and lower legs 'seem' dry and as a result is flakey from scratching and from the hot-dry temperature. Is there a lotion or cream you guys recommend for flakey-dry skin? Item doesn't have to be local, I'll also consider RS sponsors. |
it could be mild exzema (or however you spell it) It probably wouldn't hurt to go to your doc to ask what is the best cream for your skin. |
Sounds like eczema, over the counter eczema cream doesn't seem to work too well ( at least for me), I'd go get a prescription cream from the doctors. I know they have different types of cream...one being cortisone. http://www.eczemacanada.ca/en/treating/cortisone.php |
nah. it only started when spring began. :) pretty sure it's dry skin due to the hot weather. Never had skin problems/issues. just thought there'd be a cream for dry skin. |
Sometimes skin problems randomly occur, I know psoriasis snuck up on me when I was 13 years old. I'm getting hit pretty hard with it right now. In no time will I become the tree man :lol |
welll i used to have really dry skin on my hand because of working in the auto shop a lot, so i used some vaseline |
theres a cream i bought at walmart called Eucerin that really helps with the itchy and dry skin |
|
oh yeah, you need more Vitamin C (or E was it?) |

I never really noticed I have been drinking water less and less by the day. I'll keep that in mind. Thanks. |

get a check up with your doctor and or a dermatologist if it is bad. If you have tried over the counter stuff and that doesn't work I would go that route. Have you tried gold bond? The commercials make it seem like a cure... |
honestly the best thing to use is just plain only vasaline, My g/f used to have dry skin and then she started putting it on her body once a month and WOW it's smooth and stops the dryness. |
I have a bit of eczema that leads to dry skin. IMPRUV lotion is VERY good, but VERY expensive. I think it's about 30 bucks for 150ML. After you put it on your face, it gets kind of oily =s so don't put too much. Legs and arms, I use GlaxalBase. Very nice, if your skin isn't THAT dry. |
water first, then medicine. |
Thumbs up for Glysomed coming from an ashy guy. |
