Dry Skin?? What to use

My daughter has dry skin. She has only had it for the winter when we use the wood stove alot. This past week it has gotten worse. Usually she does not itch it and it doesn't seem to bother her. This week she has been itching it like crazy and has even left scratches and has made some bleed. We haven't changed anything like detergent, foods, soaps, etc. We also do not usually put lotion on her. I didn't know if anyone had any ideas of lotion that helps with dry skin for toddlers. We have also given her 3 oatmeal baths since she has started itching. Hasn't really made a difference.

 

thanks

    I mainly lurk, but wanted to share that my son has some eczema patches and his pediatrician recommended using Cerive lotion on his skin 2x/day. It's a bit pricey for lotion, but it has made a world of difference.

    aquaphor works wonders for us.  DS has eczema behind his knees and it pretty much disappears after a few days of using it.

    We use Aveeno and Aquaphor (the Target Up&Up brand though).  The Aquaphor is kind of greasy so I reserve that for when she's going into her PJs. 

    We lotion her at least 1x per day.
