Dry Skin & Itchiness

2018-01-09 08:41:44
It's been a few days I've been having this terrible itch in my knees and hands. I've been using different moisturizers and coconut oil to sustain but it still doesn't help. I hope this isn't Psoriasis.

Seems to be severe form of dryness or subtle eczema. Apply cetaphil bar for bathing and oilatum lotion twice daily full body after bath and review after few weeks
