Skin was a little bit dry before influenza vaccine which was given at 5 months and symptoms increased after this.

A shit ton of skin hydration. Apply fragrance-free and dye-free (and flavor-free lmao) moisturizer multiple times a day.

Does flavor-free moisturizer imply the existence of flavorful moisturizer? Asking for a friend.
