There are mass amounts of chemicals in my tap water, it makes my skin dry & itchy. I put lotion on right after my shower, before dryin’ off, but I am wonderin’ what to do about those few places that I can’t put lotion on.
Also:
Girls, have you ever had this problem?

Is this normal?

okay, you asked. I'm talking about the piece of skin between your vagina and your butthole.

Yes, I know what you mean. FDS makess a lotion just for the delicate areas that some lotions burn and irrirate. Very soothing.

You need to use lotion after you dry off. If you use it before, you wipe all the lotion off your skin and it doesn't penetrate. What parts are you talking about that you can't use lotion on? Do you mean "down there"? If you are having problems with dryness down there, try changing the type of soap you use. Sometimes soap can be the culprit of dry skin. You could try using some products that help that, they are usually by the pads or condoms in most stores. Talk to your doctor about your problem. Maybe there is a hormone problem you aren't aware of that could be corrected. Good luck!!

Have you tried using baby oil? I use baby oil right after I get out of the shower, while I'm combing my hair/etc, and then I towel dry off and put lotion on. It seems to work for me and I had dry skin before I started doing that. Also, if you have dry skin & you're using lotion with a fragrance, that may be irritating your skin even more.
And as far as places you can't put lotion, I'm not exactly sure what you mean? Do you mean your face? You can buy lotion for that.
Clarify on what else you meant.

Something you should try doing in the shower is to put conditioner on your hands and rub it in and after letting it soak into your skin for a few minutes rinse it off with warm water. After doing this for a while you will notice that your hands get softer. I have had really dry skin before and lotion didn't help and this really helped.

You should not need to put lotions, soap or powders anywhere near your genitals. This is a sefl cleaning area. If your tap water leaves your skin dry and itchy consider getting a water filter.

Means you probably have hard water, which will dry your skin out big time. I have the same problem dry, itchy skin.
What about oils lubircating oils in the places you cant use lotion?

What places are you talking about that you can't use lotion on? You mean the genital area? You shouldn't put lotion down there. Doing so can lead to urinary tract infections, yeast infections, etc. So be careful about what you use and where you use it.
