Might sound odd, but Fieging's UDDER BALM from farm supply store is the best I have found. Comes in lots of sizes. Get a small tube and give it a try. I buy mine in 4# tub and my wife gives me full body rubdowns after showers. Really works for me. Good luck with your fight.

PS. You might guess, I grew up in farm country.

I get a rash from ChemoTherapy and also have dry skin. I use Aquafor to deal with it.

I've used Aveeno bath oil in the shower. After washing put some on your upper body, then a quick rinse that spreads it over the rest of your body. It worked very well for me.

I use a milk bath. Pasteurized you ask? No just up to my tits.

Good Luck and Good Health.
