I mentioned earlier about how effective I have found the use of small oval patches of DuoDerm. I have developed very thin skin on the back of one hand to the point where it's totally red and blood vessels showing. The lotion helps but doesn't stop the pain. I find that putting one of the patches over the spot really helps. It's amazing how the dressing on the patches works. Hydrocolloid dressing From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A hydrocolloid dressing ( trade names include Duoderm, Granuflex, Ultec, and 3M Tegaderm Hydrocolloid) is an opaque dressing for wounds. A hydrocolloid dressing is biodegradeable, non-breathable, and adheres to the skin, so no separate taping is needed. The active surface of the dressing is coated with a cross-linked adhesive mass containing a dispersion of gelatin, pectin and carboxy-methylcellulose together with other polymers and adhesives forming a flexible wafer. In contact with wound exudate, the polysaccharides and other polymers absorb water and swell, forming a gel which is held within the structure of the adhesive matrix. The moist conditions produced under the dressing are intended to promote fibrinolysis, angiogenesis and wound healing, without causing softening and breaking down of tissue. The gel which is formed as a result of the absorption of wound exudate is not mobile and free running but held within the structure of the adhesive matrix. Most hydrocolloid dressings are waterproof, allowing normal washing and bathing. [1]

Re: Cetaphil cream. It's ingredients are almost identical to CeraVe and prices are comparable. I wonder why CeraVe outsells it at Amazon. Cetaphil is certainly better known.

I like Cetaphil, too. The cleanser is very gentle and the lotion very soothing. For some strange reason I am having a rash that looks and feels like contact dermatitis, but I can't figure out what is causing it. Keep changing laundry detergents and shampoo and conditioner and soap, kept itching like mad but the Cetaphil seems to be helping. For a while I was afraid I had ringworm. If I look very closely at my arms I can imagine that the rash has sort of ring shaped patterns. My husband says I am imagining it.
