Not all occlusives are the same.
Aquaphor works well for many people. But it contains lanolin.
And I see more reactions to lanolin than most people expect.
If your skin feels irritated, itchy, or worse after using it, this could be why.
Here is what to use instead
CeraVe Healing Ointment
Plain white petrolatum
Vaseline
Simple. Effective. Less risk.
