Hi Nizami, Welcome to HealthcareMagic Forum.

You should be getting yourself examined by a Dermatologist as it is a common skin disorder that runs in families and which leads to dry, scaly skin.

Kindly don't worry as it can be controlled but not cured completely. Your doctor will do a physical examination and recommend heavy duty moisturizers, that should be creams and ointments. Apply these to moist skin immediately after bathing. You should using non drying soaps with mild acid content. Your doctor will recommend you creams that contain lactic acid, salicylic acid, and urea.

Just relax as it wont affect your overall health. Eat healthy nutritious balanced diet which should include fresh fruits and green leafy vegetables. Exercise regularly and drink plenty of water. Stick to your treatment plan and go for regular follow up.

Wish you Good Health.
