Suggest Remedy For Dry Skin

My daughter has a dry patch of skin on her front lower leg ... it is a little hotter to the touch than the rest of the skin ... she has just been diagnosed with in situ melanoma which will be removed Tuesday ... I'm just worried that this dry skin on her leg may be something else to worry about

Dermatologist,  's  Response
Lower legs are a common site for xerosis and xerotic patches.
You don't need to panic for the same
Use dermadew soap for bathing
apply venusia max cream on the xerotic areas twice daily
It will wane
Thanks
Take care.
