Bryn says to try Cetaphil, a super-rich moisterizer.

Another really good one is Lansinoh--it's a medical-grade, super-refined
lanolin. We bought a tube when my daughter was a baby (it's mostly
advertised for nursing moms), and now we use it for all sorts of skin
abrasions/dryness/etc. It works really well. Here in Utah, the major
grocery stores have it, as well as the hippie grocery stores...if you're
interested and can't find any, I'd be happy to send you a tube.

From the inside out, try Flax seed oil, mixed with juice -- dreadfully
yucky but seems to help dry skin or rashes; and a zinc supplement once or
twice a week for the little blemishes, maybe.

Oh, there are Flax seed capsules if she can swallow stuff. No bad taste
then.

FYI: Use caution with products containing lanolin...

"Lanolin itself is perfectly safe, and it’s presence in
cosmetics is generally beneficial to your skin... But cosmetic-grade
lanolin can be contaminated with carcinogenic pesticides such as
DDT, dieldrin, and lindane, in addition to other neurotoxic
pesticides.... These chemicals are likely to migrate through the skin
into the bloodstream...
...it is impossible to determine which products will be free
from such contaminants and which will, in fact, contain pesticide
contaminants in lanolin ingredients..."

>>>a medical-grade, super-refined lanolin

I'm not sure if all of the above applies to "medical grade" as the book
refers only to "cosmetic-grade" lanolin. The manufacturer might be
helpful regarding this..

You can buy breastfeeding Lanolin which is pure and perfectly fine for
use and is digestable by baby. It can be purchased under the name of
Lansinoh and is fairly inexpensive. I know walgreens carries it...

Sarah (10) was getting a dry rash around her nose and on her chin that we
traced to the fact that she was being too aggressive in trying to treat her
acne. It cleared up with using the treatment less often. Is that a
possibility for Holly?

No.
And she's sensitive to wool, so I hesitate to get lanoline for her.

It's coming and going. Holly thinks being out in the sun more will help.
She's probably right. She's often right.
