My dry skin condition!

Andy1981iron · 05-02-2006, 12:11 PM

I have a dry flaky skin affliction and its really starting to piss me off!! It manly occurs around my lower torso and where the forarm joins the bicep at the joint.

Ive tried E45 cream and no end of moisturising lotions to no avail, making it worse in most cases.

Any ideas?

it aint where your leaning on your arms at your computer desk?

may sound stupid but i used to get this in one of my cars where my arm was leaning on the inside of the door all the time.

arms went really flaky and sore on the elbow.

other than that doc the best cure buddy

Try cocoa butter Mate, if no joy then as Steve says, get yourself to the Doc's.

if you go to the doc he`ll give you a steroid based cream-which will probably do the trick(btw e45 in a tub is the only stuff i use- the stuff in a tube(for some reason)makes my face blotchy)

Aqueus cream will do the trick, it's 3 from the chenist for a big tub of the stuff.

Ive got this at the moment aswell, E45 cream was no good for me either. The best solution I have found is to get a good moisturising soap, as the worst of it seems to be right after a shower.

Mate try Dermatological E45 emollient wash cream. Apply on area then rub then rinse off. I use it in the shower on my face & it is the best of the E45 brand

Do you get red patches and is the flakeiness like scales? If so it sounds like Psoriasis.
