Does anybody get one's buttocks so dry that skin is peeling off?
I just have a pressure sore healed but the surrounding skin of the cheek
is dried up. Any suggestions for a lotion or topical cream?

We suggest Aquaphor as well, Eucerin as suggested earlier is great as well.

I tried my best to get a good shot where the skin is crumpled. No more peeling off of skin lately.
I used to have a much better butt but it is all dry right now.


I just hope it comes back to normal. I had terrible pressure sores
in both cheeks and the tailbone. Color still looks bad and skin is very much dry.

Hope not to offend anyone by the photo just asking other solutions to improve the skin.

It was much worse two weeks earlier. Calmoseptine did it for me.
Now I am using ordinary lotion but will try to switch to cetaphil;
not sure if Eucerin or aquaphor is available here in the country.

Here's hoping your recovery continues. Your photo does look very worrisome.
