remedy for extremely dry skin due to ointment?

Question

due to ointmentfor facial psoriasis

Answer 1

You had an reaction to that ointment. Check with your phamacist and go to a skin doctor. I use Lubriderm it works wonders and can be found at a near by drug store. Vasilene also is good for dry skin but don't try it if you skin is so dry it's burning. Vasilene will intensify the heat. Call a 24 hr. pharmacy if all else fails. And ask questions, they sometimes know more about these things.
Hope this helps.......

Treatment of dry skin
An important aspect of treatment is to identify and tackle any contributing factors (see the list of causes above).

Reduce how often you bath or shower, and use lukewarm water. Showers may be better than baths.
Replace standard soap with a substitute such as a synthetic detergent cleanser, water-miscible emollient, bath oil, anti-pruritic tar oil, etc.
Apply an emollient liberally and often, particularly after bathing, and when itchy. The drier the skin, the thicker this should be, especially on the hands.
Treat eczematous patches with a topical steroid for a 5 to 15 day course. These are prescribed by your doctor and should be only applied to the red and itchy areas.
Long term control
Dry skin is usually a long term and recurring problem, especially in winter. When you notice your skin getting dry, resume your lubricating routine and use a non-soap cleanser. If the itchy dry-skin rash returns, use both the lubricating routine and the prescription steroid cream or ointment.

Applying white vinegar will help both the dry skin and the psoriasis. I also use extra virgin olive oil on my skin at night before going to bed. It's amazing how it helps!
