Extremely Dry Skin

I know this is not a major issue but my skin, face, back, feet, etc, is so dry since surgery. Anyone else have this issue?

I sure did. Still do, but I use a really amazing moisturizer daily to help. I am just managing it with good products, what else can you do... The products I use are pure and made with botanical ingredients, avoid products with chemicals, color or fragrance added that further dry your skin.

Good luck

Me too. Also have hypothyroidism, so it's a double whammy. Been using gold bond ultimate healing with aloe crm. Works pretty good, and is affordable, especially when you find it on sale. Now, just wish Icould come up w/a way to moisturize my back.
I've also learned not to take hot showers, or take them daily in winter. Unless I am working out or sweating alot, I just take a quick sink bath on the days I don' shower. Also, slather on lotion, cream, or body butter immediately after washing up w/o drying off. This helps your body absorb more moisture. For your feet, believe it or not, just plain old vasoline or shortening slathered on at bedtime with a pair of cotton socks over it will give you super soft skin in a few days
Hope it helps,

Minrs been horrible. I use Cetaphil moisturizing creme. Helps a ton.

Yes!!! Not only my skin but my scalp is dry and flaky. Yuck!! A friend said it may be from the anesthesia.

Yes, it's terrible!! I scratch until I have scratch raw in places. I recently started using baby oil immediately after a shower(dont dry off ) and then I slather on creamy vaseline. This has helped tremendously. Good luck!!
I have also heard that the Gold Bond with the aloe vera works well also.

Yes I've had the same problem, I'm using body scrubs an body oil they seem to help. My estiticion says I should add a body brush or loofa as well. Hope this helps you

My feet and legs are horribly dry so I started using whatever heavy duty moisturizer I have and put plastic bags on my feet then sox over that. The lotion then doesn't soak into the sox instead of my feet. I have to be careful walking tho as they can be slippery sometimes.. Works like a charm for me.

Oh my this has been horrible! My face and lips were so dry that 2 days later I woke up with an assortment of cold sores on my lip and chin. Or is this something I got from the hospital? I have never had a cold sore and know nothing about them but I have ALOT!! Got medicine and hopeing for the best! All I can do..

Dry skin can also be a sign of low estrogen and of not drinking enough fluids.
