Hi Karen,
See if you can get Vanicream lotion and shampoo. It is for extremely dry skin/scalp. It works wonders!!! Just load up with lotion in the am/pm and you will see a HUGE difference!! If you can't get this. Let me know and I can mail you some. Mayo clinic actually invented it so it is stocked all over town.
As for the dry mouth. I have bad dry mouth too. Could be a life long thing or could get better. Could be from meds too. Try sucking lemon drops, hard candy (preferably sugar free). That is what I do. I also chew gum and that helps a lot too. The biotine is another idea but you already do that.
Laura
