skin problem?
insignia asked:
i have a skin problem but i dont think it’s a disease. First, after I take a bath, white shades on the back of my palm suggests that it is covered by dead skin cells. But i dnt know what’s causing why is it that many and why is it fast? I mean, when Im dry and all, brown spots/shades now appear in place of the white shades of skin. Im a heavy drinker of softdrinks so at first, i suspected that it’s because of the sugar and the carbonated water. Im on my fourth straight day without any softdrinks but still, they’re still there. It doesn’t hurt and i don’t feel any difference but i can see them and i don’t like the way they look like, (the shedding skin) and the wierd part is that its all happening in the back of my hands. What’s happening to me? Does sugar have an effect on skin?

Well, sugar does not nessecarly have an effect on skin. The effect of sugar is mostly on your health. Try seeing a skin doctor.
The problem could be in the water you take baths in. Has there been bad reviews from the water in your town? Maybe your putting something in your water that you are allergic too. I used to have this really good smelling lotion that I put on every day, and I started getting red spots. I thought they were bed bugs and I was freaking out until I realized it was the lotion! Are you putting in ocean salt or anything close to that?
Try taking a shower, see if there is a difference.
Hope this works! blond2sassy
I don’t think softdrinks are your problem. It could be the beginning of eczema or soriasis, two skin conditions that cause skin to become dry and flaky. Try using a good quality hand lotion every day, morning and night before going to bed. I recommend Eucerin or Keri because they contain no alcohol, which can dry the skin. And use a moisturizing soap, such as Olay body wash or Basis. These two things will probably help eczema, but if it’s soriasis you will probably need medical help. Change your soap and try lotion first, but if it doesn’t help or the condition spreads, see a doctor. Barbara K
