Suggest Remedies For Dry And Wrinkly Skin On My Legs

Hi, I have two problems and really need some help with them. Firstly my legs are dry and they look like wrinkles with cracks and lines on them in the sun light and in certain other lights. Next my armpits are dark and plus I recently wax them and got wax burn so they are darker. Please give me some advice on how to treat my problems. Maybe if there is a lotion or cream or pills that i can use because I only have 3 months until my wedding and I want them gone. Thank you for your time.

Hello,

I can understand your concern for dry and wrinkly skin on your legs. It appears from your query that you have got dryness of skin which is leading to dry and wrinkly skin of your legs.

In most of the case of dryness it is seen in females especially during winter season. You have not mentioned your age, sex and occupation so that I could have helped you better.

It is commonly seen condition in majority of the patients it is not bothersome and self resolving condition and most of the times gets better by itself.

In my patients with your kind of condition I suggest them to apply a mild cream containing moisturizing factors to be applied for multiple times a day. It moisturizes the skin and causes retention of water to ragain the skin texture on the better of the side. In most of the patients it is enough and the skin gets properly hydrated to get normal texture.

For maintenance therapy if I were your treating doctor then would have prescribed you a lotion containing moisturizing factors to be applied at night time.

I also suggest you to reduce the environmental exposure on higher side.

All the best.
