whats a good lotion for dry coarse skin?

Accepted Answer

Dry skin: Cerave® moisturizing cream increases the skin’s ability to attract, hold and distribute moisture.  it penetrates deeply into the layers of the stratum corneum (the skin barrier) to restore the balance of lipids that are essential for an effective skin barrier.  cerave® moisturizing cream also forms a protective layer over the skin’s surface to help prevent moisture loss.

Question 2

pea size cyst filled with liquid with coarse skin on it , like a waterbed. should i force drain it or let it drain by itself? i'm on amoxicillin clavulan

Accepted Answer

Seen a doc?: I don't know if a dr. Put you on the antibiotic or if you simply started taking something you had already. If this was a real blister, such as from a burn or from rubbing, then draining the blister fluid is a good idea as that sort of fluid contains enzymes that could slow down healing. If this is from anything else, then do not drain it and please see your family doctor. Good luck.
