Unhappy Tykerb causing dryness!

I've been on tykerb (only) for 16 months now, and have experienced all the same issues with fingers and toes, diarrhea, etc. as everyone here. Now I am experiencing extreme drying in "thin tissue" areas like the inside of my nose - nothing will keep it moisturized. I've tried Ayr gel spray, and other moisturizers. The thin "cuts" we all have on our fingers and toes are also showing up in my nose - it's gross and painful. It is a fight between having "bloody crusties" or bleeding that won't stop (sorry - that's gross too).

I'm going to ask my doctor about taking a break from Tykerb to help clear some of this up - just wondering if anyone else is having issues with extreme dryness.
