A member asked:
What could lead to my dry, irritated skin after a shower or long sleep?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dry skin: I don't know about the sleeping. When you take a shower, the water & the products that you use on your skin can be drying. When skin is very dry it can become itchy or uncomfortable. Encourage you to consider using an unscented soap containing moisturizer. We use caress at our home. You can apply moisturizing lotion to your skin. Also hydrate well - at least 8 - 8 ounce glasses of water per day.
