How to treat dry skin on the knees?
Patient: I have very dry skin on my knees and I have tried everything to get rid of this. I've scrubbed the skin with lemon, applied sudocream, E45 and Johnsons moisturiser. I have tried ex foliating but nothing seems to work. I want rid of this dry skin as it looks unattractive and is annoying when I apply fake tan as it all clumps on this area! Help please! Doctor: Hello,Welcome to healthcare magic.I understand from your query that you have dry flaky skin on your knees.You could benefit from using a moisturizer containing squalene, urea, lactic acid or ammonium lactate in the morning and evening within 3 minutes of having a bath on damp skin.You could apply a cream containing 6-12 % glycolic acid at bedtime.Do not scrub or exfoliate the area as this will increase the thick skin build up.Hope this helps you.Take care.
