Skin issues

I've lost about 290#. I obtained my bypass in 2008. The weight came off fast. My extra skin area (IE: inner thighs, under arms, low tummy)are starting to wrinkle and feel very dry and painful. Any remedies?
 
I have lost about 220 lb and also have had dry wrinkly skin but something that has helped me is plain old cheap mineral oil. I bought a product that looked fancy and cost $12 for a little bottle and it worked well. So I looked at the ingredients and was shocked to find out it was made with plain old cheap mineral oil. I can buy a big bottle of mineral oil for about $2. Nothing but surgery is going to completely change my wrinkles but it definitely does help. I like to put it on and then shower about 30 minutes later. Argon Oil is really great too but is much more expensive!

I have the same problems I found plan sugar scrub you use it after the bath while your still in your tub rub it all over your sagging skin and wash off with plan water.

I had plastic surgery to remove skin. Expensive but they have policies for extended payments same as cash.
