04.40.01 Moisturizing
There are many comfort measures and cosmetic measures you can take to help your skin during this time when it’s under siege by PRP. Moisturizers are the first line of defense and comfort. Cream moisturizers work best as they can be used twice a day with good results. Lotions need to be applied more often. Some moisturizers contain ingredients to relieve itching, and your druggist can help you find just the right one for you. Many dermatologists recommend Cetaphil cream, which can be purchased at places like WalMart. Avoid “perfumed” lotions as they often contain alcohol which has a drying effect.
Again…good fluid intake can help with your skin care. Take lukewarm to cool showers to prevent further drying and avoid long soaks in the tub…they may feel good at the time, but they will dry out your skin.
