What is the best cream for EXTREME skin dryness/psoriasis?

Now that the dry weather is here, I have terribly dry skin on my hands and terribly chapped soles of my feet as well, to the point where it is painful to walk. Other than get a humidifier in my house, what is the best over-the-counter cream to use? I have tried Vaseline, etc. but all they do is just dampen my skin and then it%26#039;s back to the same problem. I need something effective!!!!|||You really shouldn%26#039;t use vaseline on your psoriasis. There is an infinite number of creams and people react differently to them. I suggest you go to your chemist and get some advice/cream samples...


You will probably need a very fat cream like Locobase|||aquaphor is the best thing for that. I put it on before I go to bed.





if you want even more moisture ( brace yourself this sounds nuts) but I sometimes put on the aquaphor and wrap the affected area with saran wrap and keep like that for about 1/2 an hour.





if you apply it to your feet, for instance before you go to bed, make sure to wear socks.





bottom line, lotion won%26#039;t make psoriasis go away. go to the GD doctor!!!
