My husband has Alzheimer’s and is diabetic. He continually scratches and picks at the scabs he’s created in his legs. Moisturizing creams are used yet he continues to pick at legs.long pants are an option but he’s on disposable underwear and when he soils himself it makes clean up difficult. Any suggestions?

Betty Pettit passed away a couple of weeks ago, but skin picking was never an issue since the day her neurologist recommended the fingernail gel method described in the post.
Best of luck to you.
