Hi, I hope this suggestion helps you:
 
Oatmeal is naturally soothing to the skin, as well as a great hair conditioner.  You might try putting a few handfuls in one "knee-high" stocking, or something similar.  Then, soak it a few minutes in a large glass or jar of hot water.  I soak one before starting a bath for mine, then squish it (knead it) till the water is dense, and just pour it over them and rub it in after their bath.  No need to rinse either! Just kind of squeeze out the excess water and wrap 'em in a towel. Makes the hair very soft and nice. It really seems to soothe dry or irritated skin.  I got this idea from having to buy Aveno oatmeal bath stuff for my kids when they got poison ivy, etc.  This is much better, and MUCH cheaper!  Good luck!
