body itch

[wookie]

Can anyone recommend a good body moisterizer ? I've been using various ones but my skin remains dry and itchy,I even have a very dry patch on my neck (looking really scabby )..

I had a spate of skin rashes/dry skin/itchiness, it's quite common to get this in pregnancy - my GP prescribed me a massive bottle of this cream called Diprobase - cleared everything up a treat xx

Thanks Amanda,seeing my midwife soon,I'll ask her about it xx

I have psoriasis and use diprobase for when i am pregnant as i am not allowed anything stronger. It works fine for me, doesn't clear it up unfortunately but then again my psoriasis is real bad lol. It leaves me non itchy anyhow!

I make sure I exfoliate every few days and douse myself in diprobate. Works a treat x x

I use Bio-oil. Its meant to be good for scars and for use during pregnancy to prevent stretch marks.

It goes on greasy but sinks in very quickly leaving your skin smooth to touch (and I hate the feeling of anything else on my skin)

The only thing is that it is quite pricey, but its the only thing that stops me itching and sometimes its on offer in Boots.
