What should you use to heal skin after wearing a cast for 6 weeks?

I broke my leg which required surgery and got the cast off on Monday but the skin on my foot is very swollen and horrible. I need to soften up the skin before I can do my exercises. Little bit worried about using perfumed products on broken skin. I've been soaking it in olive oil and warm water which is ok but any other suggestions??What should you use to heal skin after wearing a cast for 6 weeks?
Using tepid water along with a moisturizing body wash , along with copious amounts of lotion and vitamin ';E'; will help if the body wash burns discontinue use at once , tepid water will not pull as many of the oils from your skin as hot water will .I have found there are a couple products that work well but need applied through out the day , Nivia face cream works as does the walmart brand of coco butter (brown pump bottle ) there is also a product called dermarest for psoriasis I get very dry skin in winter and have found tepid showers , coco lotion after the shower and through out the day along with dermarest applied on the hands(where it is the worst for me) works well for a body wash I use st ives ,whipped silk and run a humidifier as well helps a great deal , Also drink a bit more water as this will help too..


Aprox total cost for above


dermarest $8


coco butter lotion $4 (large bottle)


st,Ives whipped silk $3


If you want the nivia face cream in tub ... a bit expensive at $9 bucks I


think works well as well .


And a humidifier if you chose prices range from 20 -100 bucks and more ...What should you use to heal skin after wearing a cast for 6 weeks?
Have a nice relaxing bath, because if you are relaxed then it will be easier for you to get your leg back to its normal state. If you feel comfortable putting bubbles in your bath do it, if you don't then the obvious!!! DON'T





Get better soon =].x
Try using moisturizing cream. There are several kinds found at drug stores that don't contain any perfume. Other than that continue soaking it in warm water. I've never tried oils.
Hi,








Try some Avon products, they really help as well as Coco Butter.

Use gold bond lotion. for a couple of days before the lotion put vaseline on the really bad places.
bag balm - awesome stuff, it was originally used on cows utters.
No, you are doing the right thing. When the skin hardens a little bit, then you can use a god moisturizing cream, something very light.Olive oil is a wonderful healer, as well as a good softening for the skin., As to say it will bring it back to it's natural condition. When the broken skin heals, then get a very light skin milk, or lotion, like nivea etc, and rub lightly in. It will take a while for the skin to come back to the normal state, as having a caste on always has this reaction.
