How Can Dry Skin Be Improved?

Hello I have a lot of lines on my palms. I always have and my mom always tells me that it is because I do not lotion them. My hands feel kind of leathery too. Is it possible that it is just dry skin? My neck back is darker than my throat and is often dry and I have moderate acne problems on my face, neck and back. All of which I have been told could be a result of dry skin. I am a young adult.

Hi,

You said..you have thick dry palm skin,hypermelanosis on neck and mild acne lesions. All skin problems are mild and benign. So, avoid anxiety and be free of worries. I would recommend moisturising cream containing urea to apply on palms twice a day, vitamin E and aloe vera containin lotion on neck twice a day and clindamycine gel on acne lesions at night. Orally you may take vitamin A and E capsules. Cleanse the face with cetaphil lotion. Avoid oily food to prevent acne.

I hope you got my answer...

Thanks.
