Lightbulb Rx for dry skin side

A friend of mine has a very debilitating skin disease for which she has tried many, many different types of treatments, herbal remedies, ultraviolet, chemo, etc.

She recently discovered that the best topical lotion is GRAPESEED OIL. She swears by it. Wears it all over her body on the bad rashes. It does not cure the cause of her malady, but it sure helps the symptoms, particularly the dry skin and sensitivity.

Grapeseed oil is an excellent alternative to olive oil for cooking (doesn't make the pan all sticky), salads, etc.

She says it is much better than lubriderm.

If you want a good quality nonperfumed, nonallergenic cream which is used by pharmacists as a base cream for prescription creams try Glaxo Base Cream, it is sold on the shelf at SuperStore and other major chain stores.

The hep nurse told me she likes to use noxzema for her hands. A nurse friend told me she relies on vaseline for her hands.

Hope this helps anyone out there suffering from dry skin.

Diana

Thanks Diana. I am having a rough (ha-ha) time with dry skin right now.

I will definately try the grapeseed oil as I have the weird rashes. Glad you told me before I went out and bought the Lubiderm.

Thanks again,
Jeannie

The only problem with the oil is that it might make your clothes stick to you, unless you stick to cottons, which is better for your skin anyway (it breathes), just make sure it is well washed, not new, as the dyes and bleaches in cotton might be toxic to your liver through the skin (who knows?).

Hope that is the worst of your sides (not that I wish you had it at all, but there are much worse sides possible than skin rash, from experience with Rebotron).

I use a SPF50 sunblock for babies, to reduce hypersensitivity to the sun, on my face and hands, and cover the rest of me up as I am susceptible to skin cancer.

The sun helps clear the rash but dries my skin. So when the rash flares up I try and sit out in the sun for a bit. Not enough to get burned but enough to heat up.

Maybe the Vit D helps my rash????

I guess I'll go with Lubiderm so my close won't be all gross
