Help Self harmers how do you deal with dry skin and itchiness??

[AngelTear]

As the title implies I'm dealing with a lot of dry skin and itchiness
I have lotion but I'm about to run out of it, it helps
I'd just like to know more methods for keeping my scarred skin hydrated

Personally I also use mostly lotion. If the scars are in a more concetrated area, I've found that vaseline also helps a lot, but obviously if they are more spread out then it would just be better to buy more lotion, as the amount of vaseline you'd need probably ends up being more expensive.

Yes lotion works but I also use cream soap bars because I have alot of scar tissue

I used to use like 2 spatulas of vaseline, 2 spatulas worth of olive oil and then mix that with either rosemary water I'd make myself or some herbal tea mix or just plane lotion. Applied the mixture that over my body but mostly my arms and fingers which were always dry.
As for the itchiness I use the same technique I did for my tattoos, slap the area instead of scratching.
