Has anyone else had very dry skin after surgery?

Yes. As time goes on it seems to get worse. I have tried soooo many creams, lotions etc.

Has anyone else had very dry skin after surgery?

Yes I was just thing the same thing I have a area. On my leg that feels like sand paper I thought it was because my bathes are becoming hotter cause I'm always cold

I use dove soap.

I think it has a lot to do with the lack of fat in our diet.

I use Cera Ve every day and it definitely helps. Also important is to drink enough fluids.

I noticed in too. For me it was kind of a good thing all my acne went away I think we eat so much less nutrients and fats after surgery our skin is not producing as much oil to keep it moist. I bought nivea body wash that has oil and cream in it for showering. Hot Water will strip your skin of its oils. For my body after showering I use cocoa butter with Vitamin E by palmers, vaseline cocoa body gel oil, or eucerin cream they work well. Also drink lots of water. Eat fish and nuts.

Me too. I have spots of very dry skin on my arms that are all red and scaly. Even the Cera Ve doesn't seem to help. More Fluid makes sense, it's just sooo hard :-)

YES! Has to do with Water intake and change in diet.

Yes!! Mine was driving me crazy then I recently went on another thread about lotions and tried one that was recommended. I'm using Palmers Cocoa Butter and it is awesome! My skin feels so soft, my dry Patches are going away and I've only been using it for 2 days now.

How about chapped lips? Mine are so bad I constantly have Chapstick on them!

I use Avon's Signature Silk Argan oil after a shower and use Eucerin as a moisturerizer ... The only things that helps .....

Yep, dry skin, dry hair, dry nails... I may actually perish from hangnails...

Me too! They are cracked and dry. I feel like I have returned to junior high putting on lip gloss and complaining that I am "bloated" after eating an ounce of food.
