Lac-Hydrin for Dry Skin

I've developed dry, scaly skin from this treatment that's now started to peel and grow back painfully. I don't know if it's a side effect of the medication or not.

Lac-Hydrin for Dry Skin

The lotion works well, but the fragrance is incredibly overwhelming. If I could find a similar product without the scent, I would use it in a heartbeat.

Lac-Hydrin for Dry Skin

The doctor prescribed this for my itching, so I tried it out. It made me nauseous and I was up every hour last night. Not sure if there's a connection to my lactose intolerance, but worth looking into.
