My Skin Gets Very Dry During Flares

A myRAteam Member asked a question 💭
Lansdale, PA

Does anyone else get dry bumpy skin during RA flares. If so, what works best for you to help moisturize and stop the itching and irritation associated with it.. My skin is already very sensitive and I try to find products that are unscented and contain few additives.

I use lotion on my arms & legs.
I drink bottled water frequently.

I appreciate all of the suggestions, thank you. It's been a rough couple of months and I haven't been online much, but I do appreciate all of the support.

The best I've used are 2 brands, AQUAPHOR, and GOLD BOND ULTIMATE softening Lotion. Try them. I used the Aquaphor on my mother when she was in hospice, and Gold Bond Powder in the green container. It kept her skin moist and from getting sores on her bottom.
