Very Dry Skin

[teyris]

Does anyone who is hypo have really dry skin particularly on their feet?

Well, my feet always seemed to have hard dry skin. Has improved both with levothyroxine and by using this product:

CCS Footcare Cream - 175ml Tube

algeos.com/ccs-footcare-cre...

CCS also make an excellent heel balm available from same site. Algeos is really a podiatrist supplier but they have a retail arm with slightly different T&C:

Products also available elsewhere.

I bought a battery operated roller thing from Boots, i see Scholl are oing a similar thing now, it wasnt cheap but you can buy spare abrasive rollers for it so my husband and I have a roller each and we change round. That is absolutely amazing for hard skin then my other half who has more of a problem with dry skin uses a heel balm and I just put on some Avenno Oat Milk body lotion. Hey presto - sandal feet, saying that sandals make his feet really dry and until we it the roller thing he was always complaining about cracked heels. N longer though.

I had eczema on both ankles and scalp, both incredibly itchy.

I always had itchy, dry legs. I've been using that new Nivea in shower cream and found it really good

my feet are very badly cracked and now i have eczema patches on my body - levothyroxine for me is the cause of this plus a low tolerance level of stress.
