Dry Skin Treatments ????????????

[Gelinda]

Ok For the last few months I have been having a very super bad dry skin problem. My thyroid has stopped working so I am on medicines for it. I saw the doctor yesterday as I was thinking the two were related but the doctor said they were not.

I have always had dry skin but once a week I could take a bath in baby oil an was fine. But now I have been doing it every other night and still scratch a lot. i have tried bath salts, bath beads and baby oil and they are not helping.

Does anyone have any suggestions????????/

Aveeno products are great. If they will help your condition, only one way to find out. I can gat Aveeno at the drug store (CVS) or the grocery store (Giant Foods).

They have moisturizers woth oat meal that will lock moisute in.

They also have anti-itch products.

Unlike ordinary lotions, the unique Aveeno® formula combines natural oatmeal (long known for its skin-soothing properties), rich emollients and menthol to provide long-lasting moisturization and soothing itch relief.

Aveeno® Skin Relief Moisturizing Lotion is non-greasy and fast-absorbing and can be used for hands and body every day. It is non-comedogenic (won?t clog pores) and contains no added fragrance or drying alcohols, so it?s even gentle enough for sensitive skin. Aveeno® Skin Relief Moisturizing Lotion leaves your skin soft, smooth and naturally healthy-looking. Aveeno® is dermatologist-recommended.

Aveeno® Creamy Moisturizing Oil with Natural Colloidal Oatmeal replenishes and seals in your skin?s natural moisture, leaving skin moisturized all day long. This breakthrough formula combines natural oatmeal, known for its ability to soothe dry skin, with a blend of oils and rich emollients.
