Sue, I've heard of folks breaking open vit E capsules and putting the oily stuff straight on skin. No sure what the result was though.
I know people that use it quite successfully on babies' diaper rash, so that's why i was thinking about it. i do have capsules at home to try.
but the constant application of eucerin seems to be doing the trick.
i think i get it on my elbows but not knees cause i use lotion on my legs after i shower every day, but really didn't lotion my arms much; now i am and that's helping.
