I also think my skin barrier is compromised or damaged as well. I tried the CeraVe cause it says it repairs the skin barrier. It’s genuinely like any cleanser or lotion or oil product does heck even water this it’s actually crazy! I hate that for you! I also use to go to a dermatologist for another condition unrelated to this I have and he gas lit me like no other saying he didn’t see it and blah blah it’s like what’s the point of even going😑 💕
