I have always had oily skin. However now my skin on my hands and all over my body is painfully dry. I've used prescription ointments from my dermatologist, tried oatmeal baths, switched to showers, bathing in cooler water and then applying thin layer of vaseline - and nothing is working. It is awful. I switched laundry detergents - no one has an answer. It is driving me crazy. I do take synthroid but my doctor said my level is fine. I don't know what to do. It is becoming unbearable. Does anyone have any advice?
