A member asked:
As a scleroderma patient, what kind of face wash can i use? before i was diagnosed i had oily skin and the product i was using then, for years, now dries me out. please help

Scleroderma: When skin has too much collagen, the amount of oil and lubrication that can get to the skin is reduced. Care for dry or stiff skin by using professional grade cream or ointment (aquaphor or CeraVe) or one containing over 10% Urea and use sunscreen regularly. Avoid hot baths and showers and exposure to strong soaps/household chemicals, which can irritate/dry. Talk to your Dr about steroid creams.
