I was in the exact situation as you: same 2 bones with a postop cast for 6 weeks.

The Nurse Practitioner recommended an *exfoliating scrub*  and it was unbelievable how well it removed the dead skin!!  I got mine at Bath and Body Works.

It WILL go away in a week or two

My sympathies to you. I remember when I broke my ankle on Christmas Day many years ago how dry and itchy my leg was and I couldn't wait to get that boot off. As others have suggested, nothing that is alcohol based and a wash cloth to exfoliate. I used coconut oil and Vaseline/aquaphor for a while and it relieved the dry irritated skin. Good luck to you.

I fractured two bones in my wrist and had to wear a cast for 6 weeks. It was taken off on Tue and my skin is all peeling I am not sure how to deal with it I am still wearing a brace and going to PT which involves a massage. The wrist is still pretty tender any suggestions thanks

@I am still oxox   Wow! Sor sorry you've had such a "time" with this injury. An OTC moisturizer like CeraVe should do the trick until you can ask your PT or doc.

When the cast on my broken wrist was taken off...it looked hideous under it!  I washed the area with warm water and applied moisturing lotion each day and it got looking better very quickly.

The alcohol in hand sanitizer will dry your skin which is counterproductive. I would just use a very gentle washcloth and moisturizing lotion. It will take a few days.

I would recommend you ask the advice of the health care professionals that you are working with.  They will probably be the best source of great information.
