Very dry skin
Posted , 11 users are following.
Hi, don't know if anyone has covered this but I have exceptionally dry skin
and have had for a few years. On my hands the skin keeps breaking open
and I am getting sore patches on different parts of my body. Now my legs are
very itchy.
Has anybody got any remedies. Fed up with it, its making me miserable on
top of everything else (doctor useless).

Exactly the same Crosado I am finding it hard to do stuff with
these thumbs and they hurt like hell!
I wear rubber gloves to wash up and for preparing veg etc, its
not doing a lot of good. Sorry you are suffering too. I just don't
know what to do about it.
All my best to you

Just rub it a little bit like cream. It's natural and no chemical. Do it at list for 2 weeks but I'm sure you'll see the difference in a week time.
Good luck and let us know if you are better.
Blessings.

The coconut oil helps my legs. I'm always washing my hands so not a lot I can do there. I try to remember to wash them in cold water as much as possible though.

I've had a nightmare with my hands splitting open too. Tried loads of hand creams, emollients, etc and nothing worked then a pharmacist worked out that I was allergic to liquid paraffin which is in the majority of the skin creams. I have now started using Aveeno Skin Relief Hand cream (which doesn't contain liquid paraffin) and it has made a huge difference. Also found out that I seem to be allergic to latex which is in the rubber gloves I used for washing up so have switched to latex free ones which has also helped.
