| Hi Cloud,
I had to reply to this one. I know exactly what you are talking about. I
don't have scleroderma but my skin gets incredibly dry and flakey for months
at a time. For some unknown reason, it then improves. It isn't just my arms
and legs. It is my back and abdomen as well. It is like having cradle cap
all over my body. (And you thought you were being graphic lol) There is
nothing I can buy in the beauty dept that is rough enough to remove the
layer of dead skin, or any cream that really works when it is that bad. I am
not going to tell you what power tool mysteriously disappears from my
husband's shop then. <g> You will have to guess. I do find that Aveeno
lotion and cream do work okay for me when my skin is just "normal" dry. It
works best if I apply it right after my bath when pores are open and things
absorb better. It is an awful problem, isn't it? Let me know if you find
anything that fixes it.
