i have 2 problems that need solving

first:
for spanish i have to present a presentation on barcelona, spain, and as part of the presentation we have to think of a fun, creative game(we can't just do jeprody or something like that) to teach the information we present. have any ideas?

second:
i have chronically dry skin and possibly mild excema, my legs keep itching like none other and it gets even worse when i put lotion on but at the same time i practically have scales b/c how dry my legs are, i have even been using eucerine calming cream which is formulated for dry itchy skin, does anyone have a remedy for me?

thanks for your help

Charades!!! or Win, Lose, Draw!!! (or Pictionary)

I went to my doctor for my excema ad she gave me some lotion that is hypoallergenic. It's called Hylira and it's sodium hyaluronate. . and you have to get it from the pharmacist. It worked pretty good at soothing my itchiness.

Welcome to my world. The chronic itching is the worst. I have several raised discolored areas on my wrist and hand. Yuck!! I went to a dermatologist and was tested for allergies. The only thing I was allergic to was the adhesive tape they used to hold the swatches on my back. He prescribed a cream to use: Clobetasol Propionate Cream USP, 0.05%. It is made by E. Fougera & Co. It works pretty good, but I use it sparingly.
Also avoid hot showers and baths. I slather up with baby oil after bathing and I was told to use a cream instead of a lotion as lotions contain alcohol which is drying. Right now it is active but it could go away for months or years at a time, but at some point it always comes back.
