Thread: Slight Skin Rash/dry Skin

I just woke up this morning with a patchy dry rash behind both my ears... and was about to post the same question.

Is it possible to have an allergic type reaction to the HCG... doing the injections, day 10, first round, following to the letter the VLCD, gained 5 on the loading days and am now down 5 from my preload weight. Am releasing about 1# a day. 3 lts of water a day also.

What about the brittle nails and rash?
Thanks so much.

No, it's a reaction to the lack of good oils in our bodies. I get the patchyness on my elbows.

The only thing I've been able to do is lather baby oil on after a shower. I do it before I dry off. It seems to help, although it doesn't completely take away the dryness, it does make it bearable. I do use Curiel lotion. I'm too lazy to go upstairs right now and get it (plus my 4 year old grandson is visiting and I don't DARE leave him alone.......oh my gosh soooooooo much energy and how quickly they get into things LOL)

But there is one that doesn't have any oils in it and it helps. I use it about every other day.

HI Katesingh.....This is my day 10 as well...Also, doing the injections....Gained 5lbs on load days, and down 8lbs this morning after loading...Drinking about a gallon of water a day...(That's HARD for me, the water that is)...following Protal...
I just don't like this dry, chappy, patchy skin problem!...Hope thay have some answers!

What is Jenni?...Is it a lotion?...I need something ASAP!

It's the curiel lotion that I mentioned.

Jenni

OH, Thank you!...I will try that...I can get it at any store, right?

Yes, hang on a second and I'll run upstairs and get the exact type.

Jenni

It's called Curel Continuous Comfort. Fragrance free, moisture lotion for dry skin with timne-released moisturizers.

It's a blue bottle with green writing. They have another one that you can't use so make sure you read the ingredients!
