HOMOEOPATHY FOR DRY SKIN
Dry skin is
most common in your lower legs, arms, flanks- sides of the abdomen- and thighs
. Dry skin is common . It happens most often in the winter when cold air
outside and heated air inside cause low humidity. Forced air furnaces make skin
even drier. The skin loses moisture and may crack and peel or become irritated
and inflamed. Bathing too frequently , especially with harsh soaps, may
contribute to dry skin. Eczema may cause dry skin.
The main
symptoms are scaling, itching , cracks in the skin
GENERAL MANAGEMENT- Keep baths or showers short. Use warm , not
hot water. Use a little soap as possible. Limit its sue to face, armpits, and
genitals. Dry your skin throughly but gently. Take baths or showers not often.
Use bath oils and moisturizers at least daily. Thick , greasy moisturizers work
best. Avoid products with alcohol. Apply just after a bath or shower, when your
skin is still damp. Drink plenty of water through out the day. Apply cool
compresses to itching areas
