Corn Huskers Lotion

My wife recently had a little trouble with dry skin on her wrists. She had a rash. It was extremely itchy, just driving her nuts. She tried using hand lotion, and it just burned. Her sister saw her wrists, and she said her daughter had been diagnosed with a form of Eczema, and my wife's rash looked just like it. She suggested that we try something called Corn Huskers Lotion. The itching was driving her nuts, so I went to several stores looking for this product.

Walgreens

I went to the local Walgreens to look for corn huskers lotion. I don't go to Walgreens frequently, so I found an employee, and asked her if the carried corn huskers. She told me it was on the top shelf by the first aid. Although that would be just down the aisle from her, she had no intention of actually helping me find the product. I looked on the top shelf, exactly where she said it would be. No luck. I checked several times to make sure I didn't miss it. It just wasn't there. Unimpressed with the lack of good customer service, instead of asking again, I decided to try another store.

Rite-aid

My next stop was Rite-aid, a local drug store. I was immediately approached by an employee offering to help me. I told her what I was looking for. She showed me where it would be if they carried it. Unfortunately, their store no longer sold it. However, if I really needed it, the pharmacy could order it for me. I declined, because my wife was in immediate need, and she wouldn't want to wait to take care of her irritating rash. Although I didn't get what I needed, I was very impressed by how friendly the Rite-aid employee was.

Walmart

My third and final stop was Walmart. I looked in the cosmetics department by the hand lotion. I searched the shelves through their very large selection of lotions, and couldn't find it. I knew they had to have it because that is where my sister-in-law had purchased it. With no employee around, I had to walk to the pharmacy to ask for help. The response was "it would be in cosmetics with the lotion." The employee was busy and unwilling to leave the department to help me. Very unimpressed, I looke again. I saw several hand lotions for treating Eczema, ranging in price from $12-$15. I was ready to give up and pick up one of the expensive bottles, when I saw it. On the bottom shelf was a small 7oz bottle of Corn Huskers Lotion. The yellow label is simple. It just says "Corn Huskers Lotion, Heavy Duty Hand Treatment," and on the top left corner, "oil free." The price was only $2.97, much cheaper than anything I had found for eczema.

 Corn Huskers Lotion was originally developed for Iowa corn huskers, which is obviously the reason for the name. It is a lotion that is almost clear, in a clear plastic bottle. It has a simple yellow and white label. It is a heavy duty hand lotion that is oil free. It is very quickly obsorbed into the skin. Because it is oil free, it doesn't leave a greasy or oily feeling that many other hand lotions can.

Desperate for some relief, my wife tried the Corn Huskers Lotion. It brought some immediate relief. It didn't burn her rash like all the other lotions she had tried. It was soothing, even after just one application. She only applied the lotion and night, just before bed. It worked so well that after only a few days, her rash was almost completely gone. The itching was greatly reduced. She continued to use the product until the itching had subsided completely, and that took less than  a week. I would recommend this product to anybody.
