Skin condition experts !! Please help.?

I get very dry skin around my eyes, near my ears and on my chin. Some days its worse than others.


Doctors just prescribe cream, but I believe its due to diet.


I have tried to cut out dairy/lactose products which is difficult. Is there anything else that coould be causing the dry skin condition ?

Maybe you have eczema. If you do, your doctors can give you specific creams to treat it, or even pills to alleviate the condition. However, eczema doesn't really ever go away. (I have it). It tends to flare up if you are stressed out.
Reply:Do you use skin products (other than those prescribed by the doctor?) - might be worth changing those to ones designed for dry skin etc





Also stress and tiredness can bring about skin problems.
Reply:Diet is a factor, also do you drink enough water? Tea, coffee and many soft drinks actually dehydrate the body so cut those out if you can.


I use a great range of natural products for dry skin called Therapeutics and they are great. Especially at this time of the year when the heating is on inside the house a lot and at my work.

Reply:drink a lot of water or green tea. cream will prevent the skin from peeling and keep it smooth. Wash twice a day to get rid of dead skin.
Reply:As with any skin condition if by trial and error you can find any dietary factors that play a role go for it. What you have sounds like seborrheic dermatitis especially if it is dry and flaking. This is kind of like facial dandruff on steroids. There is no cure. Doctors may prescribe hydrocortisone (not synthetic steroids) or certain antiseptic soaps or shampoos to keep it controlled. If I'm wrong and this is just dry skin use soap containing moisturizer no more than twice daily, pat dry and don't scrub. Try moisturizing lotions till you find one that works for you and use a humidifier in your home especially during the winter months.

Reply:Are you eating enough fat ( good fats ) in your diet ? If not, try supplementing with Udo's oil for a month and you will see a big improvement.
