This skin

I came off pred beginning of April after 2 years. So far so good but my skin is like tissue paper. Any good creams, pills or advice anyone can give me please?

Double base Gel I find the best

I use Vitamin K cream and arnica for red bruising and all over arms and legs for papery skin. Then, perfume-free dry skin cream. Not perfect but it helps.

Everything I use on my skin has moisturising properties, there are so many on the market. A sun block even on a cloudy day is a good idea too.

I bet there are supplements too, not sure which but probably the vit D and Calcium we already take.

I expect Vitamin C is important for skin health. read an article the other day which said that an orange a day keeps the doctor away!

[SheffieldJane in reply to HeronNS]

We always said apples. It didn’t work.

[HeronNS in reply to SheffieldJane]

The study examined several different fruits and maybe vegetables, wish I'd paid more attention. The only one which "worked" was oranges.

[HeronNS in reply to HeronNS]

Ah, it was the EYE doctor. It helps prevent macular degeneration.

but ohhhh apples are so yummy!

[SheffieldJane in reply to yogabonnie]

And doctors can be so crummy. 😉

My skin’s like that too. But the bruising has been so improved (even on Pred) since I gave up all anti inflammatory meds (like X strength bufferin). I use eucerin (daily something) and have had no big problems. In my case, I lost a lot of weight and am a member of the “3/4 Club” so it comes with the territory.

[HeronNS in reply to ConventCassie]

What's the 3/4 club?

[ConventCassie in reply to HeronNS]

LOL 75. I was so excited to join I celebrated in NYC! Was wonderful!

[HeronNS in reply to ConventCassie]

Congratulations!

[ConventCassie in reply to HeronNS]

I usually work all day, stop for a drink alone- go home. Loved every minute.

[Brandon47]

Many thanks - I will try what you advise

My gp prescribed a cream called Zeroveen. Its been fantastic on my skin where nothing else had worked.
