Sometimes: the BEST moisturizer is WATER! Try sitting in a bathroom while a hot shower is steaming up the room. Do this DAILY for a week and see if this does not improve your skin's dryness......sometimes the SIMPLEST treatment is the BEST treatment! Hope this is helpful! Dr Z

I accidentally used shampoo (head and shoulders) on my scrotum, thinking it was moisturizer. I left it on overnight and woke up burning. Does not appear to be blistering but is very painful. Im obviously not wanting to see a doctor lol. Burn creams?
