Dr. Randy Stevens answered

Specializes in General Surgery

Hydration: Try to stay optimally hydrated. Drink plenty of water in the winter. Avoid caffeine and drinks that cause diuresis. As soon as you finish showering apply a lotion. Do not shower too often. You could try applying lotion twice a day.
