A member asked:

How can i make my skin softer all day every day? it seems like my skin is so dry the more i put lotion on the dryer my skin gets..?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See details: I would suggest a medical evaluation to rule out disorders such as a low thyroid that can cause dry skin. If the workup is negative, see a dermatologist for help.
