Dry skin is not only uncomfortable but it is expensive lol. I did not have dry skin issues until last year, not even in the wintertime. However, this year has been horrendous. I finally have a routine that works and if I try to skip any part of the routine, there’s an issue. After a lukewarm shower while your body is still wet, apply Amlactin moisturizing lotion. Then, use cera vee or cetaphile moisturizing cream. In your roughest or extremely dry areas, apply vitamin E skin oil and top off with either nivea’s moisturizing lotion for extremely dry and rough skin or vaseline’s dry rescue lotion for extremely dry skin. Yes, this adds a few extra minutes to my process of getting ready but for me it is so worth it for me. I had results immediately (same day) Hopefully, you find something that works for you soon.

FYI...if you try Amlactin, it does have a weird almost itchy feeling when you first apply it for the first day or two. This is normal.

TRy taking Vitamin E and using a Vitamin E cream

Could be the start of peripheral neuropathy, speak to your doctor about going to see a Neurologist. Vera

Hi Catherine,

I have Hashimoto's along with the RA. I have found if I apply coconut oil after a shower it helps my skin to not be as dry also Eucerin cream helps with the itchy flaky skin. Those are my 2 go tos.

As for burning feet. No clue which one that is but man oh man it sure does hurt at times. Sorry I'm not sure which disease does that. I know there are many that cause burning feet.

All my best,
Carol

I use Dove for dry skin body wash in the shower which is very good, I use different types of dry, very dry etc skin creams after shower or bath and like was mentioned in an earlier note, use lukewarm water, not hot as that will contribute to the problem. I also have a great scratching stick in case the absolute need arises but I really try not to as it bring blisters and my skin is thin so I have to be careful.

Good luck!!
