What Causes Dry Rough Skin With Small White Marks After Using Soap?
Question: Since last 1 year, after using soap bath, my skin gets rough & dry and small white mark appears on skin if not applying oil on skin after bath. Some people in XXXXXXX says this "Sihli" .
But now day by day it is increasing on my skin.If i rub that portion, some upper layer of skin is getting removed from my body and I feel like burn in skin at that portion.
It is looking like small light color black spots on my skin in dry condition. Pls. suggest what to do?

Brief Answer:
Allergic to constituents of bath soap
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
It seems your skin is sensitive to the chemicals used in the bath soap. I suggest you to try herbal bath powders. If you have scales that it is a bigger problem if you continue to use it.
Use herbal bath powders available.
Do not dry your body after bath with towel, Instead apply a huge amount of moisturizer on the skin immediately after bath
Do not use hot water for bath, tap water or tepid water is good.
These should solve your problem otherwise meet a skin specialist for testing
