How To Treat Skin Lupus?

I have skin lupus. At times my skin can become VERY dry and crack. I have this problem generally on my hands (which although painful...i am thankful that it is generally localized to just that area). Lately, i am having the same dryness and cracking on my vagina (outside). Is there any kind of moisterizer i can use?

You should use sunscreen with spf greater than 50 for lupus skin . Any kind of moisturiser can be used but do check for any allergy .
