I was diagnosed with PBC 12 years ago & I have responded well to Urso. I now have hypothyroidism & NAFLD.

My question to the group is whether others suffer from extremely dry skin & what product would you recommend or you have found to be effective on extremely dry skin. I have tried a number of products however they don’t soak in & rather sit on top of the skin.

Hi, I’m pretty sure it’s quite common to have dry skin. I sure do. I buy Eucerin body lotion for dry flakey skin. It’s the only thing that works for me. I put it on right after my shower, I take showers in tepid water, never hot. I use Vaseline on my feet or they start to peel. Put the Vaseline on the feet and a sock over. It seems to work really well.

I hope this helps.
