Powerfull moisturising creams?
I have VERY dry skin on one of my ankles, it has folds in too which are like cardboard from being so dry
It doesn't help that I always sit cross legged
Can anyone suggest a bloody good moisturiser to help soften my ankle skin?

Re: Powerfull moisturising creams?
Isn't hydrocortisone (spelling?) only perscription, I may have the wrong brand here but I'm sure that's what y ex used on his psoriasis and he told me not to use it because it can be dangerous to people with out skin problems?
I think it is eczema on my ankle but I don't wanna go to the doc's cos all he will give me is co-codamol
EDIT: So far I've tried an aleo vera and a silicon or something moisturer both by vasaline, nivea creme and Olay regenerist

Re: Powerfull moisturising creams?
In the U.S., Hydrocortisone is over the counter, and I've used it for years for eczema on my arms. I used it primarily to stop the itch, and the rash. But Hydrocortisone is more of a topical cream than a moisturizer.Isn't hydrocortisone (spelling?) only perscription, I may have the wrong brand here but I'm sure that's what y ex used on his psoriasis and he told me not to use it because it can be dangerous to people with out skin problems?
A good moisturizer that I can recommend is Cliniuqe's dramatically different moisturizing lotion. I got loads of little samples of these tubes when me and my friend's went up to the makeup counter. Good stuff indeed!

Re: Powerfull moisturising creams?
I use neutrogene moisture oil-free for sensitive skin on my face, i know its not ankle but its really good stuff.
i have very dry skin and generally when i get out of the shower if i dont put any mositurizer on my face, i can feel my skin get tight and then it gets all flaky and what not and feels like its going to crack cause its so dry, i put this stuff on and it makes it feel sooooo nice, gives me the nicest smoothest skin. Its the only thing that works for me. i find that other mosituizers and lotions feel like they are just staying on the surface of my skin, where as this i can tell goes in and moisturizes. its great. i highly reccomend it to anyone and everyone.

Re: Powerfull moisturising creams?
I have the same type of skin on my ankle bones and elbows I use aquaphor it's very much like a petrolium jelly but works wonders it can be found at any drugstore in the US so I would think if you can't find it in the UK you could get it from drugstore.com or the like

I've been using Soap & Glory Heel Genius foot cream. It's from Boots and it's £5. I took a few applications but it's working nicely now

Failing that, I have a friend with eczema who uses plain old E45 cream all the time.iamtheparty wrote:I've been using Soap & Glory Heel Genius foot cream. It's from Boots and it's £5. I took a few applications but it's working nicely now
