What Can Be Done For Dryness Of Skin Even Though Using Sensitive Soap?
Yes. I have really dry skin sometimes. I think I might have eczema. I wash with sensitive skin soap, but sometimes my skin can still get pretty irritated. My scalp is pretty bad too. I can wash my hair and get it done, but it will itch the very next day and after a week of it being done, I find scabs in my scalp. Do you have any recommendations?

Hi. Thanks for posting your concern at HCM
I would keep a possibility of Seborrhoeic dermatitis of the scalp.
If i was your treating doctor i would have asked you to use a Ketoconazole shampoo twice or thrice weekly
Use a mild non-soap based cleanser like cetaphil twice daily, on your face along with a good moisturizer (non-comedogenic and hypo-allergenic) for a soft and hydrated skin.
I advice my patients to drink at least 8-10 glasses of water daily to keep the skin hydrated from within
take care
regards
