Something that helps with dry skin is to take a supplement that includes Vitamin E, B vitamins (1-12), and Omega 3 fatty acids.  These are vitamins that are very important in maintaining skin heath and vitality.  These are also vitamins that are commonly deficient in the diet.  I would suggest a high quality multi-vitamin and fish oil capsules.  Adding these will improve the overall quality of the skin in the long term.  \n\nIn the short term, you can apply baby oil to your skin after you get out of the shower while you are still wet.  Then gently blot off the excess water.  This will lock in the moisture

it sounds like a form of eczema.  go get some hydrocortizone cream from the pharmacy (they sell it over the counter).  it should help it clear up.  if it doesnt go away from that, you may need a stronger dose, which you can only get to a doctor.  also, since there are little heads in it, i would suggest something with a little sulfur in it.  that will help your body learn to fight it. \nbut, it may just be an allergic reaction to the soap you are using.  stop using the soap you have, and if that doesnt work, try the above suggestions.  if you have any more questions, feel free to IM or message me.  good luck

It is caused by many different reasons,my children get it when they go swimming,they do not remove the clorine from their hair and this dries the scalp skin and it starts to flack in some areas only,this can also be caused by fungi.\nit is usually the skin of the scalp,it sometimes becomes hard and thick and comes off when you comb your hair.\nit is dry dead skin yes but at times some fungus makes it thick amd very hard too.\nIn kids it is usually caused by not removing the shammpoo well or the conditioner too the clorine in the pools also contribute.\nOILING THE HAIR OFTEN HELPS A LOT.

I would suggest she goes to the doctor-it sounds just like the pain I'm having and my ankle is fractured.And it can mess with your circulation  which can cause the dry skin.Have her go-like NOW.

Drink plenty of water. Avoid drinks such as coffee and alcohol as they are diuretics. (They soak up a lot of the water in your system which can leave you dehydrated.) Also, check out moisture-intense body lotions for your skin in the meantime, and hydrating chap stick. Hope this helps =]

Soap is too rough on skin. Use a cleanser specially for problem skin instead.

No water will not dry out your skin. Hot water will cause problems if you have V.veins but it is the soap you use that matters. I take a shower or bath 1-2 times per day depending on my work that day and use a shower gel from Philosophy and a good moisturizer everyday. Try to take warm bathes instead of hot ones. The Chlorine in pools is bad for your skin also. If you see flaky skin you should use a scrub to remove the dead skin. My skin gets dry in the winter due to the low humidity but in the summer I take more showers and it is not dry.

It seems that the thicker, keratinous layers of skin on our fingers and toes, which are meant to protect our bodies, absorb water after long exposure to water. The body does not absorb water but, like paper towels or dried beans, the skin does. The water causes the stratum corneum (the dead skin layer mostly made of keratin) on our hands and feet to swell. As it swells it wrinkles because it is attached to other tissues--it doesn't have the freedom to stretch freely.   http://www.wsu.edu/DrUniverse/skin.html

Well...it does sound like an allergic reaction of some type.\n\nDid you recently change fabric softener on your towels recently?  Did you buy new towels or washcloths?  Are you using a new cream or lotion on your face after you get out of the shower?\n\nIt could also be that you're using water that is too hot, so it makes skin more sensitive to the stuff above.  Try cooling the water off, not using fabric softener, not using face cream, and use your older towels and washcloths.  \n\nTry the above one at a time and see if one of these eliminates the problem.  Then stop doing whatever it is.\n\nHope I helped...

Use salt, it doesn't go away as fast.  Just poor some in your hands and rub it on your wet skin.

Are you sure you are allergic to the water itself rather than something IN the water? I ask because it is odd that it would only affect you on the outside, because I would think being allergic to the water itself would cause reactions internally too.\n\nI'm personally allergic to chlorine (and bromine), so I can't go swimming in pools or I break out in a horrible rash.  I also get a small amount of eczema from taking showers (the amount of eczema is directly proportional to the amount of chlorine in the water).  Since I don't generally drink pool water, I don't have problems drinking tap water. But chlorine in the air makes me sick (from pools or cleaning solutions).\n\nI have actually heard of someone being allergic to water, on I think Ripley's believe it or not.  But she would get hives from crying, and she couldn't drink water either. She could drink juice or milk though if I recall correctly.
