When I was eight years old I was diagnosed with stage 3 wilm's tumor (cancer of the kidney.) Due to the advancement of the cancer I had to go through 12 units of radiation with blockage and 12 units without. This was done on the left side of my stomach. Every since then every year during the winter months I have extremely sever dryness there and in the surround areas (torso, sides and some areas of my back the tops of my legs near the pelvic area.) I have tried so many things. I peel during this time and it is horribly itchy. I have a regimen where I usually rub baby oil in immediately after my bath/shower then once that is in I take and mix my lotion with baby oil gel into almost a mousse-like consistency and rub this in these areas. It works for part of the day or night (depending on when I put it on) but by the end of the day I am a irritated itchy mess again. Please help me. I was wondering if some type of chemical peel would help. I really quite desperate I actually was using a dry loofah one year to rid myself of all the dry skin but I had to stop because it was getting sore. Answer To assist in removing the dry skin I recommend you consider MD Skincare Alpha Beta Daily Body Peel. To minimize the itch you experience I suggest you use Prax Lotion for Itching Skin. In addition to these two products, I suggest a highly moisturizing cream such as DML Forte Cream or La Roche-Posay Lipikar Body Emollient. Best skin care wishes.
