    Change to Jojoba (ho-ho-ba) oil or something with it. Might cost a bit more but it closely mimicks (not like evolutionary mimic, like just by chance is the same) your skin’s oils which should help you get back to normal eventually.

    Also the heavy duty stuff like O’Keefe’s in small amounts on problem areas like knuckles if they need extra time to heal.

    -Advice from a massage therapist, literally bathing in lotion for a job.

      Thanks for the tips!

      My doc has me using a diabetic lotion, does that change anything? I’ll definitely see if I can find something with jojoba, too. I’m always looking for something better. Haha.

      Also really appreciate the pronunciation guide, because I would’ve sounded like an ass when I asked for it otherwise. Lol. Thanks.

        The diabetic lotion actually does! How, I’m not certain but I do know diabetes effects your skin in ways I’m not fully familiar with. I don’t have any listed contraindications with diabetes with any of my products so I can’t imagine it would mean you can’t add more products to a skin routine.

        As always, IANAD so check with a dermatologist to be sure because of special factors.
