Thank you

I was given uddercream when I was taking Chemo. It was great and you might want to try it. Chemo dries out your skin and even after 2 years my skin is very dry. I have not found anything that comes close to this cream.

I've never heard if alot of these creams/lotions. I use bagbalm (from Walmart) on my heels. I like Gold Bond at night for my hands. I've found that anything with shea butter is good. My DD gave me lotion warmer and that works great. It seems with the lotion warm it sinks in and last longer. Also recently I've been using the hot wax for my hands. It really softens the skin.

Boston, I also have excema and have tried about everything but nothing worked for me. I use Cetaphil for washing my hands and showering (it's soapfree and my dermatologist didn't change it...he said it was the best I could use) and I use Vanicream for the back of my hands and my palms (my fingers were so chronic I had to use prescription creams).
Wal-Mart has Cetaphil but it's not with the soaps, it's in the cosmetic section down here. The Vanicream can be bought at Wal-Mart, some drugstores and grocery stores but you have to ask because they keep it behind the prescription counter even though it's not a prescription. I hope you find something that works for you.

Having ecsema, you have to be very careful what you use on your hands.
I make homemade soap and bath and body stuff, and I also recommend using pine tar soap to wash with...it's stinky, but is very effective for sensitive flare-ups. As a cream, avoid ANYTHING with color or scent...unfragranced only!!!
I would recommend Aquaphilic cream with urea...you can get it at Wal-Mart in the pharmacy section, in a plainly labeled tub. SLATHER it on your hands before bed, and then, put some gloves or mittens on. When you wake up, you'll have nice hands, ready to quilt!!!
