Xerosis
Xerosis is the medical term for dry skin, a common problem. Your skin needs moisture to stay smooth and supple, and retaining moisture becomes difficult as we age. Our skin also looses moisture more readily in the winter. Central heating in your home or in other buildings is very drying to the skin. You can increase the humidity in your home during the winter months by using a humidifier.
If xerosis is not treated, the dry skin can eventually harden, crack and open fissures can develop. Cracks and fissures are breaks in the skin and can easily get infected. Severe xerosis, especially among people with diabetes, can cause severe complications. The treatment for xerosis is to moisturize and condition the dry skin. The best time to do this is right after a shower or bath, when the water helps trap the moisture in your skin.
Amerigel® Care Lotion with Oakin® is a therapeutic skin conditioner that does much more than an ordinary moisturizer. It is formulated with dimethicone, which is the new generation replacement for those oily, greasy feeling petrolatum-based products. Amerigel® Care Lotion with Oakin® protects and moisturizes the skin. It is absorbed by the skin and penetrates down through the layers of skin to promote a healthier skin. Amerigel® Care Lotion with Oakin® will soften the hardened areas of skin and exfoliate (remove) the buildup of dried out skin cells. It also contains antimicrobial and antifungal properties to prevent infection as it heals the cracks and fissures. Every medicine cabinet should contain Amerigel® Care Lotion with Oakin® , as it is like first-aid for the skin. Try Amerigel® Care Lotion with Oakin® and see and feel the benefits of what a therapeutic skin conditioner can do for your skin. We offer an unconditional 30-day money back guarantee. If you are not satisfied with the results, then simply return it to us and we will refund your purchase price. Don’t just moisturize, condition your skin!
The Wound Dressing is great for healing post-op P&A nail surgeries and all kinds of ulcers. The Care lotion is terrific for dry skin problems. Both products are accepted by patients quite well.
