Are you in airconditioning all the time? That will do it, use a moisturiser on a regular basis, and drink plenty of water.

It sounds like a problem with your diet. I hope the dermatologist has some answers for you.

Have you changed your laundry detergent or softener?  Your soap or body wash?  It could be irritated dry skin that just needs moisturizer (try Eucerin).\nIf there is fever present (even a low, non-persistant one) though, you really should go to the Dr, or if this question is in regards to a child rather than an adult.

Every dermatologist would tell you "Don't overdo it." Too much washing can cause skin problems, such as dryness or skin irritations. So wash as little as you can while still feeling clean. And use soap sparingly.

Are you related to Michael Jackson?\nKidding ,\nMaybe you are spending less time in the sun?\nDid you move to a cooler climate, or further north?\n\nPossibly, you are deficient in your nutrition.  Have you changed your diet, or started on a new medication?\n\nYou should see a dermatoligist, to rule out a serious condition.

You might have an overactive sweat gland. A doctor can prescribe a special deodorant for you to help with this.

Basically you dehydrated your cells in your skin. The h20 your skin has decreased too rapidly. That water helps to keep you from buring. Place two metal objects in the sun and then add water ontop of one. within a few minutes the dry one will become much hotter. When the water evaporates off the other one it too will becomoe the same temp. Your skin is the same way if you stay in the sun for too long you dried out your skin. The itch is from the sensor receptors getting fried as well as from pealing. The pealing occurs because of of the damaged dryed out skin and the new skin is forming underneath.

Use a good moisturizing lotion. Also, if you use Dove body wash in the tub or shower, it helps tremendously. The best lotion that I have ever used is by Australian Gold, and it's called "After Tan Moisturizer." (formerly known as Moisture Lock). Another good one is Lubraderm, and it's less expensive. \n\nYou also need to take into consideration...is the dry skin due to weather, or are you having an allergic reaction to something? If it's due to the weather, then the products that I mentioned above is the way to go. If it's due to allergies of some sort, Benedryl has a good cream that will get rid of the itchy's.\n\nI have extremely dry skin because I am diabetic. As long as I keep lotion on, I am fine. I hope this helps!

Forget all the so-called special stuff that cost a fortune. Simply rely on the basics. If there is any concern with dryness of skin, for example, use something as simply as Johnson's Baby Oil or some of the other products on the market that heal.\n\nAnd lighten up.  Do it gentle.

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

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.

It deepends on the type of skin you have if your skin is dry you should use more bath oil than you should if your skin is not dry. You will know when you have the right amount when your skin is not too oily and not dry.

Is your deoderant too strong?  Too high % of Aluminum compounds (the antipersperant) can cause dryness, itching and flaking.
