Cool mist vaporizer: In the house to add moisture. Hydrate, avoid soaps to skin and hot baths or showers.

Different options: To help your skin not be soo dry, try to keep your showers very short and do not use very hot water. Only use soap in your armpits and groin.If you could skip a day of taking a shower that would help your skin very much. There is a brand of moisturizer which is called vanicream or vaniply ointment which you are probably not allergic to. If your drug store does not have it you can order it online.
