Does Anybody Out There Have Dry, Skin Issues?

A DiabetesTeam Member asked a question 💭
Alabama

I have a rough place on both my elbows, not crusty, not blisters, just extremely dry. Different skin texture. Also notice some itching on various body parts, seems not continuous but daily, at different times.

If so......anything used to help?

Thanks,

Good number last night 105.

I have these issues. I have Vitamin E lotion and also Gold Bond diabetic dry skin relief. I use both. The Gold Bond after showers. The E lotion anytime I feel the need. Hope this helps.
