my skin is so dry it is painful to move. I remember not drinking water because I was afraid I’d pee my pants. Such a punishing mind.
You can probably go to the dollar store and get some cheap lotion or Vaseline. I get that problem but I’m too lazy to put on my skin unless it’s nagging me. 
Or if you don’t feel like it, put some water on your skin and pat dry. You need something to lubricate it. 
I know how you are feeling Chordy. I have eczema on the back of my leg at the moment.
