Topical applications: Emollient, menthol in calamine lotion can be used.
Skin Hydration is important and is maintained by the twice daily application of skin moisturizing creams (examples include Keri®, Lubriderm®, Nivea®, Nutraderm®, and Eucerin®).
Less expensive moisturizers include generic forms of Johnson and Johnson’s Baby Lotion® (which is actually more of a cream) available at discount retailers.
Vegetable shortening (such as Crisco®) is another good, inexpensive moisturizers.
But you need to talk to doctor for any prescription medicine.
He may have to change the dosage of your medicine and change the medication that is appropriate for you. HIV/AIDS videos, news and forums...
