Can Detergents Cause Dry And Itchy Skin?

Apply topical ointments.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
You can apply ointments that contain soft steroids to get rid of marks or scars. Betamethasone or triamcinolone containing ointments is quite effective.
Dry skin is a condition that is quite common in many people. Complete cure is very difficult, however you can control the symptoms to certain level.
The best treatment for dry skin is daily lubrication with an emollient (a substance that inhibits the evaporation of water).
You can try ointments like Vaseline or Alovera extract which are effective. Daily bathing is necessary and drink plenty of water.
Avoid harsh, drying soaps and apply moisturizer creams immediately after bath.
You can take antihistamines like cetrezine for itching.
If symptoms are very much severe you have to consult a dermatologist for detailed evaluation.
