I have the s 11 weeks post op. I upped the water intake and use Gold Bond Lotion for Diabetics.

I use generic Lubriderm.Works great.I out it on my feet too with socks.

Lotion

Remedy skin repair cream with olivamine, I have very sensitive skin and lymphedema in my legs so I have to use moisturizer all of the time. This is one my physical therapist used for my massage treatments and I haven't used another since. You can buy on Amazon.
