1. always apply emollients just after bath so the water will retain in your skin.
2. frequent application
3. Use sunscreens before outgoing (apply 1/2 an hr before)
4. Use full clothing
You will definatly our come from this

dear Richard,
welcome to healthcare magic.
If you had suffered partial thickness burns that healed and are now causing you dryness you need to use an emmolient or coconut oil or may be paraffin locally over your skin as your skin's sweat glands might also have suffered injury. if your burns is recent some pressure garment may help.
