So sorry to hear about your situation. We all are suffering to some degree with things that most people know nothing about . I hope that you have found some relief and if not I pray that you'll come across something that will help. God bless

Hi KayCee:) I've struggled for years with super dry skin...have tried all the ones for extra dry skin, etc. with no success. Finally:):) I found one that I highly recommend. It is made by Griffin. I buy the Omega 3 unscented one. It may seem pricey but is beyond worth it. The website is griffinremedy.com. Not sure if you have a local co op or natural type store near you, but local co op here sells it in bulk which saves money. I simply grab one of the containers they have and fill it with the lotion. One does not need a lot of the lotion when they apply it which is another plus. I haven't had dry skin since I started using it 5 months ago. Also, be sure and stay hydrated throughout the day as that also add to dry skin. :):) Hugs and smiles:)

Yes, many people with leukemia experience very dry skin, especially during treatment. Here are some tips and recommendations for moisturizers:

- Moisturize Regularly: Use moisturizing lotions or creams to reduce dryness. Apply immediately after showering while your skin is still damp.
- Gentle, Fragrance-Free Products: Opt for gentle, fragrance-free moisturizers meant for sensitive skin. Ingredients like ceramides and hyaluronic acid can help retain moisture.
- Member Recommendation: One member of MyLeukemiaTeam mentioned using Eucerin, stating, "My skin drinks it up. I don’t have itching, but I’m sure I would if I didn’t keep lotion on it."

Always consider consulting with a dermatologist for personalized recommendations.
