@A MyBCTeam Member Yes. It's nuts all the different lotions, creams and moisturizer I put on after a shower lol. Aquaphor on my feet so they don't crack. I have neuropathy in my toes from chemo. St. Ives rejuvenation cream with collagen on my face and neck, Bath and body works on my legs, thighs and arms, rosemary mint hair creme to tame my crazy chemo curls and shea and cocoa butter on my chest and belly. What a workout 😂

Hi Christine
I experience the same issue so I've been using the following for different areas of my body :I use Aveeno daily Moisturizing lotion for arms, elbows,legs knees and posterior. Aquaphor healing ointment Advanced therapy is for my breast and abdomen surgical scars areas. For my radiated side I also apply Lancaster Farmacy Calendula healing salve, it has helped in reducing the dryness and darkened areas from radiation.
Happy Curves Fragrance Free comfort cream lotion to powder is for my armpits as I cannot use deodorant, so this works to keep me dry and prevent chafing. The Calendula Salve and Happy Curves comfort cream I received in complimentary care packages when I was diagnosed from Uniteforher.org and National Breast Cancer Foundation.
I know it seems a lot but I have issues with contact dermatitis as well as hives.

I used Eucerin Skin Calming lotion back in 2004 when I had my first bout of breast cancer and radiation. I just purchased a new bottle since I remembered that it worked really well. Dry skin is so annoying especially in Arizona.
