One of our members was wondering what moisturizing cream (or lotion) does anyone use who also has Scleroderma?

By sharing what you've found helps - or doesn't - we can all benefit from each other. This is why when someone is afraid to ask a question, we have to remember that our question may be just what someone else wants to ask but is afraid to.

You can actually be the voice for someone else. Don't ever think any question is silly.

Hiya. I keep my legs exfoliated and also use Epaderm cream (obtainable at Chemists) liberally. I also wear short as much as possible which seems to reduce the itch.

Morning,

I use Epimax gel, which is prescribed by my GP.

I have suspected systemic sclerosis (sclerderma)

I was prescribed this long before my positive ACA result.it works for me.

donna, I will be a speaker on mindset at a scleroderma conference in the fall. Let me reach out to the organizers. Maybe they have some suggestions.
