Over The Counter Products:

1. Aquaphor – If you don’t yet know about this type of petroleum jelly, then you should if you have any skin issues at all.  It is essentially a form of Vaseline, but with more healing properties and slightly less tacky.  I have used it extensively all over my skin (sometimes covering my entire body at night!) to create a moisture barrier so that the scolaraderma and dry skin don’t set in.   Also, apparently the latest research shows that putting antibiotics on all cuts and scrapes may actually delay healing as these products might also kill off the good bacteria.  Therefore products such as Aquaphor are being recommended to be applied directly for wound care.  One final thing is that the parent company to Aquaphor has a charity program and were kind enough to send my 12 large tubs every quarter for FREE just by asking!! Very nice of them.
