The Official Status Update Thread: Part 167 - Fall Has Fallen

I have eczema on my hands... the skin peels off and leaves raw patches. Gold Bond makes a good eczema lotion and also cetaphil. The Cetaphil is $17.99 a bottle, but it does help.

My mom has that on her arms. It gets pretty bad sometimes.

 

[Snapdragon]

Yeah, it's a PITA. And just when I think it's healed up, it comes back.

One of the things I'm not looking forward to about winter; very dry skin.

I have to put the Gold Bond lotion (green bottle) on me during the winter or I get that winter itch stuff on me.

I would have to bathe in it. I never quite stay on top of it and it gets to be pretty miserable.

Palmer's Cocoa Butter lotion is good. It's a bit greasy, but it helps. I'm also a huge fan of Dermasil at Dollar Tree. It's the best cheap lotion I've ever used. You can afford to bathe in it.

 

[Birds Away]

I need to do a better job of it this year.

 

[Snapdragon]

This is the stuff. Great lotion and unscented, unless you get the cocoa butter variety.

$1 for a good-sized tube at Dollar Tree. I've been using it for years.

 

[Birds Away]

Thanks, Snap. I should probably get a half dozen of those.

Of course the usual, don't take hot showers, don't stay in long. If I am not stinky, don't shower ever day. Use Dove instead of Dial during winter...

 

[Birds Away]

I can't live with myself if I don't take a shower everyday. They say the key is to apply the lotion as soon as you get out of the shower. But, then I feel greasy when I put on my work clothes.

 

[Birds Away]

I probably should get cleaned up and go to breakfast.

About time for me to cook mine. Have a good day.

 

[Birds Away]

I'm still mulling it over. Enjoy yours.

Morning all.Did not want to interrupt a personal conversation.

 

[Birds Away]

No such thing in here.
