Good morning!!!!

My wife recommends Aveeno eczema therapy moisture balm. Worked great for itchy dry skin on her legs...her dermatologist recommended.

Wife likes Gold bond ultimate skin therapy cream.

The biggest issues with dry skin are dehydration, number one by far, and not putting lotion on often enough. If your skin is real dry you need at least twice the water you’re drinking and lotion needs to be applied 6-10 times a day for the first week or so. Best way to start therapy is a thin lotion applied 2-3 times in an hour then follow with high viscosity stuff like Gold Bond or Corn Huskers. Then wean off to just a normal lotion several times a day. But if you drink enough water you won’t have near the problems.

I've been suffering with really dry skin...bad enough to go to the doctor's. He prescribed prednisone and Benadryl as well as using baby lotion after my morning shower. Hasn't seemed to help much. My skin on my neck, lower back and arms is red and itchy to the point of painful. The skin is also wrinkled....almost like I'm turning reptilian (or The Elephant Man!).
Any recommendations?

Roy find a good dermatologist. It could be something as simple as an allergy or as serious as Stevens-Johnson syndrome.

Toppop consuming 12 to 14 bottles of water a day until you said that it can help with dry skin never put two and two together. Only during our really cold snap did my skin feel dry and I used udder cream for about two days. The SE and Mid Atlantic are in for a lot of rain the next two weeks

Those cars sound interesting hopefully you find what you want

Drew when you get done you can come plant some trees at my place

Roy the udder cream works well for me and for muscles and aches Two Old Goats cream really hits the spot

Thomas don't overdo it and yes you will keep getting snow ice for a while

I don’t know much, but my wife gave me a lot of info that I use daily.
I forgot about Udder Cream, it’s very good, I need to get some for my hands, I wash them so many tines a day plus the sanitizer, keeps them feeling like sandpaper.

Updated forecast, a couple of inches of snow tomorrow. I will plow today anyway, I need the exercise.

Elephant/ reptile man sounded pretty serious, more than a topical cream.
Pics Roy?

37° rain coming.

48 this morning and that’s the high for today. Rain showers all day. Front is basically stalled on top of us. Keeping heavy rain south. Flood watches out SE of here up to 3 inches for those folks. Guess the river will rise. The river a couple of miles from the house drains that area.

Replacing 9 heaters in the chicken coops today. I will have replaced all heaters in the last 14 months now. One less thing that needs constant maintenance. Well for a few years atleast. Then may go shoe shopping. My foot has blown through the outside of my slip on work boots and my rubber boots have cracked.

Any opinions on Muck boots? I’ve always worn Lacrosse but have been looking at Muck lately.

Roy. This is about the only thing that works for me. O'Keeffe's Hard Working Skincare(R) | Guaranteed Relief for Extremely Dry, Cracked Skin I have both the squeeze bottle and tub. My problem is when I wear gloves, doesn’t matter what brand or insulated or not, my hands get dry fast. Jersey style gloves bother me the least.
