Hello Friend,

as per your description, i could understand that you are having extremely dry skin usually found in atopics.

I will like to know whether you have dry skin overall?

Do you get recurrent cough and cold?

Do you have any respiratory illness or family history of asthma?

For extremely dry skin, you can apply lots of moisturizers over semi wet body after bath.

Kindly reply to my questions so that i can help you further.

Thanx
I find this answer helpful
