The first thing you can try is Vitamin E oil, applied topically once or twice a day. Try to find the highest IU you can, up to 32,000 IU, and make sure the oil has no added preservatives which might further dry or irritate the skin. For extreme cases, some people have applied vegetable shortening, such as Crisco.
