Do you realize that it takes at least 30 days just to replace your
outer layer of skin, and longer for deeper layers? The best thing you
might do is be very gentle with your skin for a couple months and help
it from the inside by taking some of the nutrients that have been
credited with skin repair (vitamin E, C and MSM). Wash with nothing
hotter than tepid water, use minimum soap of any kind and scrub with
nothing more abrasive than your hands. Rinse very well.

You may also get some soothing and healing effects by splashing on a
bit of simulated ocean water (slightly diluted) after bathing.

You can make this by dissolving in a quart (liter) of water, 1 level
tablespoon of salt (sodium chloride) and one level teaspoon of epsom
salt (magnesium sulfate.

I went to the dermotologist today and he put me on protopic cream which is ment
to be for eczema but he says it should clear up my damaged skin and then we
will go from there .

Im a little worried because i havent got eczema or psorisis and this cream is
ment for stuff like that.
