Glycerine mix

Hi, I've seen many fellow IV sufferers talk about the positive benefits of mixing creams with vegetable glycerine but I've never been given the same advice by a doctor/dermatologist. Is this an approach you can recommend and if so what's the best way of proceeding?

Yes, some people with ichthyosis find it helpful to add a few drops of glycerine to creams. Glycerine is a humectant so it helps retain water in the skin.
