I have VERY dry skin on and around my shins. Yesterday I noticed some redness on both legs but didn't look at it closely, and didn't put any body lotion either.
Today both my legs were still red and - again - I didn't take the time to look closely. Then in the afternoon it began hurting, it felt like slight burns. So I finally looked closer and saw that my skin is all cracked open

Dry as it was, with the VERY cold weather we have these days, it didn't resist! I have like dozens of micro-wounds, and it hurts like hell now

I've put some sweet almond oil on it and then bandages so the clothes wouldn't brush on my skin, hence the title... I look like a mummy!!!
Anyone got ideas of what I could do to get my poor skin back to normal???
