Hi..dear jasmina..,
Thanks for choosing HCM..,
Nothing to be worry .,
It is simple and commonly seen in this age..,

due to lacking of sufficient fluidity in the body..,
So take...,
1) plenty of oral fluids..,
2) Use Moisturizer on the affected part..,
daily 2 times massaging..,
3) Dip both legs into Lukewarm water..for 15 mts..,
It will hydrate the skin and keep fresh and healthy skin.,
4) Give plenty of fresh vegetables and fresh fruits...,
