Finely milled oats dispersed in lukewarm water can be a soothing addition to a short bath for dry or itchy intact skin.
Method
Place colloidal oatmeal in running lukewarm water, soak briefly, pat the skin dry and moisturise immediately afterwards.
Safety
The bath becomes slippery. Stop if irritation develops. Broken, infected or rapidly worsening skin needs medical assessment.
