My mom skin is very dry and itches and blisters appear if she gets exposed to sun. This started after her menopause. It is even on her scalp and her hair keeps falling. Doctors have suggested to stay out of sunlight and use suncote sunscreen gel and momate cream. Staying indoors away from sunlight is impossible always. And sunscreen and the ointment doesn't help. She has fair complexion.

Drink plenty of fluids avoid scratchy materials, such as wool directly in contact with skin. Avoid harsh soaps, detergents, and solvents. For more details consult online.
