My Concern Is I Am Having Dry Skin And Flaky
Question: My concern is I am having dry skin and flaky skin in my face. Mostly the cheeks and skin near ears are very rough. I also have an itchy skin. How can I get my skin cured?
Brief Answer:
Seborhea
Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome,
This could be seborhea. Long term management of dry and itchy skin mostly includes avoiding soaps or medicines to wash face. You can use besan (chickpea flour) to mildly wash the face without scrubbing. Among face washes, face like Everyuth naturals and Aveeno maybe used. After washing apply coconut oil to retain the moisture. Drink clean drinking water. Avoid use of antibiotics. This should help you.
Hope this helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.
