    Default "Dry skin"

    I’ve got horrible a patches of dry, red skin on my chin mainly, my skin used to be perfect.

    I’ve tried a wide range of moisturizers and creams and e45, but don’t do anything, make it worse if anything.

    Any ideas what I can do...?

    olive oil is good for the skin

    But if it doesn't clear up, you may need to go to the dermatologist.

    I was delighted to find that Walmart is now carrying a big tub in the vitamin section of extra virgin coconut oil. I'm getting 2x as much as the health food store for $7 less!

    might be eczema? Sometimes it's triggered by food allergies, sometimes 'outside stuff' like dog hair etc. I think it can start at any age. If some of the suggested products don't work it might be worth getting eczema ruled out.

    I know you said you've tried everything out there, but have you tried Aquaphor? It works well on my boys eczema.
