Thanks Doctor,
I use Venusia XXXXXXX on a daily basis but see no improvement. More and more skin tears are happening as visible in the pictures, and skin becomes white due to dryness.
I tried Tennovate GN ointment, which gives relief, but for how long. Please provide some good soothing cream to keep the skin wet or prevent dryness from occurring.
