Avoid over-washing: A daily moisturizing cream used 2-4 times a day helps to heal dry skin and to prevent return of the dry rash. Examples: Cetaphil, CeraVe, Eucerin. Some people avoid creams with lanolin, aloe, or fragrances because they are sensitive to the ingredients. If the skin is a bit reddened, is getting itchier, or is roughed up by scratching, one might add hydrocortisone 1% cream twice a day for 5-10 days.

Dry skin: In addition to the excellent advice already provided, please make sure to avoid any skin product containing alcohol, which is drying. Peace and good health.
