Gold Bond Triple Threat Anti Itch Medicated Lotion - green bottle and red top - has helped so, so many of us.  The dry skin will aggravate the "riba rash" condition. The only thing I used that got rid of it was the Gold Bond. But you can't stop using it once the dry skin is gone or it will come back.

Also try to up the water intake as high as you can and stay out of hot hot showers and baths!  Maybe use a humidifier in your bedroom at night.

Yup ! Got some as soon as NYgirl gave that tip, even before tx.  Has saved me!
