In need of some suggestions

for a good lotion or cream for spots I get that are like exzema, but not exzema. I have been trying to find something that does not make me break out with a rash since I have super sensitive skin to the point I can only use baby soap to wash with, which also keeps my skin from getting any drier than it normally does and I am one who has had dry skin all of my life. So I was hoping that maybe somebody her might have a something that you might have found that works great while not causing any irritation to the skin. I look forward to hearing from anybody who also experiences this with good advice since I seem to be having more problems in the past few days with my skin in areas being so severely dry. I do drink lots of water so I know that isn't the problem.


I appreciate any help you can offer me since I am in desperate need right now. Take care and do have a super fantastic day!

I'm not sure if this will work for you but it's worth a try. Ds is allergic to everything on earth and his pediatrician recommended this cream when he was a baby. I love it too.

Do you need a prescription for it? If not where did you purchase some from since I am willing to try anything that will help with the severely dry patches I am having and it also might be something that will also work for my youngest son who has allergy problems as well. I hope to hear from you soon. Take care and do have a super weekend!

Not sure if this will help or not, but when i was trying to find a suntan blocker i asked the pharmacist where i get my prescriptions. i think she might be a little more knowledgeable than most, but she told me EXACTLY what ingredients to look for, and i couple i was considering she said were definite no's. they apparently had some ingredients which commonly called allergic reactions. i needed the sunblock for my left arm because if i went out around noontime, the arm would get sorta welty and itch like crazy. then i had to use benydryl on it to stop the itching! before I asked her i tried a couple and found the one made it a LOT worse. then after she said what to look for, i looked for those 2 ingredients. she did warn me if i put the one on too thick it could cause the skin to whiten some...but i didnt care as long as it didnt itch!!

If that doesnt help, i can maybe see if i can ask her, the next time i see her at the pharmacy.

Denise just call your pharmacist and ask about the cream suggested.

Geez, where is my brain these days. LOL Fabulous idea and why I did not think of it is beyond me since I call to ask them lots of things and they are always so very helpful. I shall be asking them since they would know if a prescription is needed or not and besides I have to stop by their on Monday to pick up my supplies and get my oldest son's prescription for his nose spray filled since he has nasty hay fever trouble this year. So I shall soon know more. Thank you again for the suggestion. Have a fantastic day!
