Just read this thread. I swear by my Gold Bond 'Healing w/Aloe, w/vit A,C, &E.' I like the pump dispenser, too. Finally found a smaller tube version that fits in my lab coat pocket at work. When you wash hands 10-20 times in 8 hrs, dry skin is a problem.

I have P on the elbows. If I can keep the elbows moisturized, maybe the P won't return as quickly. If it comes back, I slather on the triamcinolone steroid cream to knock it back, then stop the steroid when the skin heals. Hope it doesn't thin out the skin if I only use it when the P is flaring. And maybe the Simponi will help the P along with the PsA. (almost time for 4th injection!)
