Is Vaseline Safe For Treatment Of Rough Skin?

Yes. The doctor told my Mom to put vaseline on her legs. She has edema and the skin is rough and rashy and he does not want the skin to start cracking. She is 86 years old and now telling me that she heard that putting vaseline on her legs that have a numb feeling is not good according to a news report that she heard. Is there any worry for concern?
