Mega dry skin
Monday, May 30th, 2005Hi anyone who can give advice or help,
I have had ezcema since I was about 8 years old. It’s been severe
on a number of occasions, but I’ve always eventually been able to
control it. Recently, it has covered my neck. My face is so dry it
basically crumbles when I wake up in the morning, causing cracks and
red lines (I couldn’t open my eyelids without the skin above folding
unnaturally, due to hard dryness of the skin of my eyelids last
week). I layer on aqueous cream until I feel like I have jelly on
my face, but my skin soaks it up like a sponge and I feel dry
again. It flakes away to the touch, and I need something to be done.
I’ve decided to cut dairy out of my diet, avoid meat (other than
fish) and try to maintain a balanced diet. I also drink more than
my fair share of water a day.
