Guest guest Posted March 27, 2004 Report Share Posted March 27, 2004 , Don't know what others will suggest, but A & D Ointment (the really greasy stuff used for diaper rash) has helped with dry skin around here. It was such a cold winter, and it was really great for hands, rough heels, etc. My hands were in such bad shape, they were cracked and bleeding a couple of times - so I went to bed with this stinky stuff smeared on and my hands were much improved by the next morning. (It's also great for chapped lips, as it's not easily wiped off). A relative uses this on her grandson's hands and says it's wonderful (he had a dermatitis like condition). For a lighter use (just dry itchy skin) and for sensory integration at school, I send in the ShiKai brand lotion with borage oil - it's helpful, but not as intense. Hope this helps! Becky dry skin Hi.. my son has developed really dry skin.. especially on his legs.. and his elbows look like they have psorasis now. He's progressing great and I don't want to really change anything but wondered if anyone has any suggestions on what might help this. I've tried all the normal moisturing things that I've used before. Thanks!

I have heard good things about using virgin coconut oil. Has healing and soothing properties and smells good. You can find it at most health food stores.
