Anyone else having trouble with dry skin?

I am literally flaky ALL the time.  It' most noticeable on my arms.  I'm trying all kinds of creams and I hate to use anything in my armpits because if they get too dry theu start to itch. 
Am I alone?

This is probably not what you wanted to hear, but I haven't had any problem with dry skin. Hair falling out yes, but that stopped about 2 months ago.

I do drink lots of water and take biotin 5000 mg. per day. It is good for hair, skin, and nails. Maybe that's helping me. It could be your environment. Is your house real dry? I hope you feel better soon.

Have you tryed other kinds of lotions, make sure it doesn't contain alcohol.

Yeah girlie I did about 2 mos. ago.. I talk to my doc he said that the vitamin deficiencies of A & E exist after surgery.  Both vitamins help the skin ( elasticity & moisture) .. I started taking vitamin A & E each day.. it went away. Try it out and see if it works.. I got mine from WAL-MART.. A&D combo & E vitamin.

Thanks Lisa!  I can try that, even though I hate the idea of taking any more pills!  I feel like such a junkie already!  LOL

LOL... I know you should see the side of my bed!!..LOL I look like I need re-hab!!

Laura, it's so hard to find a lotion that doesn't contain any alcohol!  I have had the most luck with lubriderm,  I guess I'll keep going with that.

Hi, I saw Lisa's post about vitamins. I do take the Celebrate brand bariatric multivitamins, B-12 and Calcium Plus 500 also. Perhaps the vitamins do help prevent dry skin too. That makes sense. Lisa is so smart.

HEY Laura!!
