Dry Skin....Driving Me Crazy!!?!


Question: Dry Skin....Driving Me Crazy!!.?
I have recently had an operation on my leg which has left me pretty much stuck in bed all the time. I was having to have bed baths but I am now able to go for showers (thank god!).
But as soon as Im out the shower and dried my skin is flaking off, I hadn't been drinking a lot of fluids or moisturising but have now been doing so for over a week and it is still awful!!
Its horrible and makes me feel dirty!!
Any suggestions on how to help this.?
Thanks In Advance!!Health Question & Answer

another thing is

Avoid really hot showers and long soaks in the tub. These have a drying effect on the skin. It
