I Have A Very Sensitive Skin With Pimple And Itching, Can Any Online Doctor Help Me ?

hi im 21 year old female and im having alot of problems with my skin , i get spots, everywhere. My skins so sensitive. If i itch my skin will raise and go blotchy my neck and chest can get very itchy and irritated. I get lumps and bumps everywhere and lately ive been getting rather large bumps on my knees and my wrist, they look like big blisters because they go white but have no fluid in them. My skin is also very dry. Can you help me?

Hi,
you need to see a dermatologist. your problem sounds more than just dry skin and may be manifesting something more serious. you may also consider sending me your lesions' pics on gaurangkrishna3@gmail.com for an opinion before visiting a dermat. But a personal consultation is a must at this point of time.

Hi
Welcome to HealthcareMagic forum

From your history , you seem to be having a dry skin with some allergic manifestations too. Dry skin ,if not taken care of can cause itching and pigmentation , the itching may go worse due to stress and frequent scratching this being a vicious cycle . identify your skin type , if it is dry , moisturize your skin regularly , with a good cream which has vit E , every night before going to bed.

You also need to avoid oily diet , eat a lot of green leafy vegetables.Drink lot of fluids as in juices and water too , this helps for every skin type .In case you have allergies, identify the source and avoid the same in diet as well as externally .
The large bumps on your knees,etc may be again a reaction to an allergen or another cause , which has to be evaluated further .

Take care to use the right soap/body lotions and also avoid cosmetics whenever possible , use a face wash which is mild and avoid soaps on the face , frequent change of soaps too may cause reactions .
Wishing you good health
