Extreme skin dryness : body and foot?

Avoid over-washing: Doctor should examine. Daily moisturizers (Cetaphil, CeraVe, Eucerin,...) used 2-4 times a day help to heal dry skin and to prevent return of dry rashes. Some people avoid creams with lanolin, aloe, or fragrances because they are sensitive to the ingredients. If skin is a bit reddened, is getting itchier, or is roughed up by scratching, doctor may recommend adding hydrocortisone cream for a week.
