Dry Skin On The Stomach. Could It Be Due To Change In Body Wash?

My stomachgets very dry im wondering what causes this no im not pregnant and i have tryed four diffrent body washes and nothing has changed and i did not change my body wash to something diffrent when it started it started in about the middle of my regular bodywash. I dont belive it being the body wash as that is the only really dry area on my body

hi,
you seem to have developed excessive dryness of skin over the stomach region. Well in case you dont have any associated itching or redness over the same area, then you need not worry...But if there is any redness or itching ,then it can be a sign of a fungal infection or any eczematous condition. In that case you will have to consult a skin specialist for proper assessment and diagnosis....But if there is no associated complaint, then you need not worry. Just keep your skin adequately moisturised.. apply plenty of moisturising lotions and preferably use some oil also once a day ( something like olve oil or almond oil )...

hope it helps
