I use Goldbond Foot care, on my very dry feet. I use it at night and wear socks . Then Dr sent me to a dermatologist, he recommended that I use CeraVe for the rest of my very dry skin. The tiny dab works wonders!
I read once that they discovered the stuff because the oil rig workers had it always on their hands and they had the softest hands in spite of the hard work they did. Originally it was the residue of some sort of rod wax that rig workers would have to scrape off the pumps and then some guy figured out how to purify those scrapings and separate out the petroleum jelly and purified it. They probably renamed today's product because who wants to slather petroleum on their baby's bum?Isn't Vaseline made of petroleum jelly? Not sure that's the best thing for skin, but maybe that's just me.
Sure do. Didn’t use it much, nor did I use sunscreen much. Basically, I stayed out of the sun, but not enough. Now I don’t set foot outside without sun protection.Remember this?
Do you know what caused the rash D? That would have freaked me out!Stop teasing!
I had a nasty rash that started last Spring. It began around the ears and took over my scalp. Then a finger got infected and I went to the urgent care.
They lanced and squeezed my fingertip and told me to soak it Epsom salts each day for 2 weeks and gave me a course of antibiotics.
I also got a steroid for the rash.
Well that rash started to abate, but then spread down my neck to my shoulders and down both arms. Then on my belly, then the inside of my thighs. Saw the regular Doc and "It's nerves. Stop scratching."
I got a tub of Eucerin Advanced Repair and one of Aquaphor Healing. Then a fat tube of Eucerin Anti-Itch with Oats. Throw in alternation with witch hazel with aloe and for bad days a spray can of aloe with 1% lidocaine.
I took months to get it into abeyance, and finally under control, then gone.
But the other day we had some really bright sunshine, coming in at a low angle when I was taking my BP. Man! In that light my arms' and hands' skin sure looks weird. I think they call it "crepey" skin.
So I'll probably use one of those creams to moisturize, since I have plenty on hand yet. I guess it has been dry for a while with the heat on and all. I think I'll try to use cooler water to shower too, but that's tough in the Winter. It can feel so good just to bask in the warmth!
I love this son by Simply Red.
Yep, me too, an Irish girl trying to keep up with an Italian husband.I fried myself in the sun in my younger days, using baby oil or coconut oil, now that I'm old, I have the wrinkle damage from it. I never wore hats or sunglasses, so my face did get a lot of sun damage over the years, I have a light complexion and was always going for the tan. Live and learn.
