Christine, another option is to try beef tallow. Not a lot at once just a little bit to cover the area rub it in lightly, It is said to be good for this. Make sure it's pure Tallow no other ingredients. Or that with honey that is pure for moisturizing possibly?
They will sell beef tallow in stores generally. I found pure tallow at Walmart actually recently. It has a shelf life between 6 months and a year. It has to stay sealed like the lid has to be tight. That's what I read.
