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!
