Hi,
I am a 41 year old female and suffer from dry skin on my torso (eg. stomach region stretching up and back to my underarms) which is extremely dry, slightly cracked and very, very flaky. I do not use soap, and keep showers short and warm. What products can I use after showering to help my condition, thank you....Anna

I have this skin condition for over 5 years now and it has been given different names and equally different treatments. The treatments have left me with severely dry skin and scalp that flakes and peels. My palms are so sore from continuous peeling and I have lost sensitivity on some finger tip. Also, my face flakes, my lips crack and I have cuts in the corners, my ears, eyelids - in fact my entire body is a bundle of dryness and flakes and rash, sores and pain. Initially it started as severe itching all over my body and scalp and progressed to my groins with dryness. I traveled to India where it was diagnosed as Lichen Planus and I was placed on a steroid cream multivitamin. This quickly cleared the dark spots and rash only for them to reappear when I stopped the steroid cream - this time with increased itching and hair loss. I then traveled to the United States Of America where I met teams of Oncologists and Dermatologists and was started on UV light treatment for 7 months more dryness of skin and scalp set in with both palms and feet having painful cracks and bursting open coupled with difficulty in walking because the soles of my feet were now so cracked and painful. They moved me to chemotherapy in addition to Atarax to reduce the itching and strong steroid cream was being applied to my skin directly. Chemotherapy worsened my condition so it was stopped and for 8 months now I've been on strong steroid tablets(Prednisone) and cream. Now, I'm a bundle of dry body and scalp with intense flaking that makes a mess of my bed and room and I can't go out anymore and am back in my country still continuing the Prednisone and not knowing what else to do until I stumbled unto your website. Please tell me what to do. I can include photos if I know how. I strongly believe you're the answer to my dry skin. Please Help!

My feet are very very bad. They are so cracked that they split wide open on my heels and it hurts to walk on them. I can not stand to wear closed shoes so I always have opened toe and heel shoes on and I live in Florida. Please help me I want my feet to be nice and smooth and pretty again. My heels look like the feet on your web page but cracked wide open.
Thanks,

Hi Nanette,
My husband had really itchy blotchy skin that would appear during the winter months. It was only on his lower half all over his legs and on his bottom. He would scratch the red blotchy rash until he bled. I had a skin problem too! Nothing I used would stop the horrible itching I would experience all over my body during the dry winter months. I would get red and blotchy and at times even bleed from the scratching I would constantly do. When I spoke to you I didn't think your recommendation would work (partly because it seemed so uncomplicated) but I tried it anyway. Well, let me tell you that the itching stopped immediately for both my husband and I and the red, dry, blotchy skin was gone in a total of 3 days. I will never doubt natural remedies again and I will eternally be grateful for your advice.

I received the products that I purchased today; and I must admit, they are excellent.I had a dinner date scheduled for last night, and had to shave my underarms and legs. I don't shave often, because I always get an itchy, burning sensation even after I moisturize my legs with lotions, I tried so many different types to find the ones that work and do what is advertised on the package, especially the medicated lotions that have Salicylic acid and hydrocortisone which are advertised as giving soothing relief to the skin. After I shave my legs, I've always believed that the itchy burning sensation was part of shaving and to get some relief I thought that I just needed to saturate my legs with creams and lotions until this condition subsided after a few days. Today, the condition was different: I found that your Hand & Body TheraCream is the best product that I've ever used in my life (and I've purchased many different creams in my lifetime). Honestly, I just couldn't believe the immediate soothing sensation, smoothness, subtleness, and the softness on my burning, itchy legs. Today, for the VERY FIRST TIME after shaving, I enjoyed my evening out with confidence, comfort, and smooth sensational legs in a nice sleek short dress. My legs and underarms felt so, so, good. I am so happy to know that your company has integrity. I am convinced and want more of your products. On my way home, I couldn't wait until I contacted you about my testimony regarding your product; I said to myself, 'No matter how late, I will send an email to inform that company about how wonderful their products are and how well they worked for me.
Thank you for creating such a fantastic combination of ingredients and being truthful about the expected results. I have become one of your most valued costumers. I am a believer. Thanks so much for your fast delivery. You all are awesome!!!

I hand wash my dishes all the time and I have been noticing that one by one, the nails on my fingers are getting very noticeable vertical (some raised) lines. (Nails are natural color, and normal thickness). I do not use nail polish or hand creams and my diet is fairly decent nutrition-wise. Could it be I'm having my hands in water too much? Is there any alternative dish washing soap I can use? I dislike wearing gloves.
Thanks for your answer. F.L. Greenfield, New York

During the day, my face will turn red, feel extremely hot, like I've washed my face in acid! It goes away for a couple of hours, then does it all over again. Does this sound like dry skin? Or do I need to find a doctor about my problem?

My skin is very dry and rough to the feel and I am also breaking out on my cheek area. I am so depressed about my skin right now. Can you help and recommend something for me to use to get moisture back in my skin. I will greatly appreciate it.
Thank you,

My heels are cracked on the side and often become painful. The bottom of my feet are dry and the space between my toes sometimes becomes red and itchy.
Any recommendations?

Hi There Nanette,
I've been having real trouble with my skin ever since my local GP prescribed me Betnovate, (steroid cream). To make a long story short, I used the cream for far too long and instead of applying the cream to only the affected areas I took it upon myself to use it as an all over body moisturizer, ouch I can hear you say.....
Roughly 3 months later I realized the cream wasn't working so I went back to my GP who then prescribed another steroid cream.....
I now don't use any steroid cream and have started bathing in oats, chamomile flowers and chickweed. I use neem oil, chamomile oil and lavender oil with a baseline cream as a moisturizer...
My problem is that I can't seem to shift the dry, flaky,irritable skin. Do you have anything that may be suitable that can work as I'm now becoming very stressed and worried about it.
I do hope to hear from you soon,
Thanks for your time.
Damian

Hi Nanette,
I read with interest your column, and I was wondering about the treatment for a deep crack on my heel. I was going to set up an appointment with a dermatologist but I am interested in what you have to say. I have been attending aqua fit at a gym for 5 years -3 times a week. I am wondering if that could be the cause of my problem too.
Thank you for your help.

I have had the problem of dry flaking skin around my ear lobes for 7 years. For the past 3 years, it spread to the elbows, then last year to the knees.
I need to know how I can order the right remedies and how much they cost.
I live in Nairobi Kenya, payment is not a problem since I can have someone in the USA pay on my behalf.
Thank you and hope to hear from you soon.

After two years of suffering and trying every organic/natural remedy that was recommended, in less than one week of using your Face & Body Wash and My Daughter's Hand & Body TheraCream my skin is nearly completely healed. I think I contracted ringworm or that I have had some other fungal skin problem (in my midriff area and under my large breasts). I am very grateful and will be ordering your Face & Neck TheraCream next as a birthday present to myself soon. Thanks and bless you so for your gift to us.

Hello Nanette:
For years my feet would itch like crazy and I just learned to live with it. Then, I started to develop dry patches all over my feet and these would not only itch, but split open and bleed. I found it almost impossible to put shoes on and go to work. That's when I met with you and immediately began following your recommendations. I was shocked at how fast these products worked and thankful too!! Within a weeks time I was back in my shoes with restored skin on my feet. God bless you!

Hi,
My daughter is 4 years old and she suffers from rough hands that turn bright red at times. She went to a pediatric dermatologist and she prescribed Carmol 40% peroxide. The pharmacy said I should use urea but I don't know what strength. Can you advise what strength I should get from you or something close to it? Also I suffer from acne and I have some scarring can you recommend something for my acne scarred face? Thank you in advance, Maryanne

I was born with club feet and I am 56 years old and my left foot in particular is the one that bothers me sometimes to the point that I can't even walk it hurts so bad. I usually cut a lot of the dry skin off with a razor and then sand the rest with an emery board. I have had this problem most of my life but now that I am older it bothers me more and more. What can be done about this? Can you give me some advice? As a child i was cared for at Children's Hospital in New Mexico.

I wish to tell you that your Lip Balm is OUTSTANDING! I have used it for two days and my lips feel the best they have felt in my whole 77 years of life. I have had Ichthyosis since I was a few months old and have had problems all my life. I also am using "My Daughter's Hand & Body TheraCream and it feels so, so good after my showers. Thank you for being there for me when I need you. I have been using your Herbal Shampoo Treatment for about a year and I have no flakes anywhere on my scalp anymore. You have excellent products.

I have colourless patches of very dry raised skin, about half an inch or more, on my back and front - not the usual places for SD. They do not itch. I have had them quite a few years. Sometimes I can scratch the tops off but no further. They bother me because they should no be there, and am I lacking in some diet. They spread slowly.
