dry skin

[frissykat]

since I've been on ox 24-7 my skin is so dry it just flakes off me. My face has white on it from dryness. I use eucerin on a daily basis & drink about 3 or4 12 oz.glasses of water a day. Does anyone have this or a similar problem?

I've been on oxygen for about 2-weeks and I noticed yesterday how dry my arms are??? A result of oxygen ???

Thanks for the suggestion.

Have you had thyroid checked? It causes dry skin if low.

I too have dry skin now. Just keep putting on the lotion and drinking water. My thryoid is low but the meds dont' seem to help.

I don't think oxygen is causing your dry skin. I have issues with dry skin on my feet and legs, but it is related to diabetes and thyroid problems.
