Jexans Mom commented on Jexans Mom's blog post 'skin issues'"Thanks so much for all the helpful suggestions! We have been using vaseline and gloves at night and will be attempting to get Aquaphor today. While at home we are using his toes (I forgot that it was an option), maybe will try using his forearm…"
"I agree with the people who say don't use the alcohol swabs. My doc told me they are not necessary if my hands are clean. What's most important is if they are clean. You don't want to get if you had remnants of juice or anything on…"
acidrock23 commented on Jexans Mom's blog post 'skin issues'"I'd say stop using alcohol wipes. I wouldn't use my toes, due to the fact that I do everything possible to protect them. The only time I use alcohol wipes for BG testing is when I'm running, since my fingers end up with a slurry of…"

My 11 yr old has horribly dry, peeling fingertips from all the finger pricks, alcohol wipes and cold weather. He is constantly licking his fingers cause it drives him crazy so of course the germ factor is of concern. I put lotion and/or bag balm on them when he is with me but at school or sporting events he forgets. Any suggestions?See More
