Those who know me, know that every winter I battle an ever losing war against one thing. Dermatitis on my legs-really bad. Ugly sore and looking. I tried every lotion under the sun, putting it on 2 times a day. Humidifiers going 24/7. Drinking tons of water. Nothing worked.
Then last week, a light bulb went off. I use lanolin for cracked nipples while nursing-if it helps that area, why wouldn't it be just as helpful with cracked skin. Guess what- after 2 days, you couldn't see the ugly bright red spots on my calves. Gone. My legs were still itchy, but the sores were gone. So, now my new moisturizing regiment includes lanolin and lotion. My legs are grateful.
