Suggest Remedy For Dry, Flaky & Dark Skin
skin around my breasts, back of arms and side of stomach to hip is dry,flaky and dark. the skin is flaky but it cannot be scrubbed off like usual dry skin. it begun in small sections around my breasts, but i thought it was flaking off due to mild sun burn as i had been at the coast. it then spread down to my sides (obliques area) and is VERY dry.It is not itchy or painful. I have tried switching soaps and body oils but nothing helped. I was worried i might have gotten an infection from wearing the same bra repeatedly. PLEASE PLEASE HELP it is slowly spreading.

I can understand your concern regarding the skin lesions but its difficult to point specific diagnosis in absence of clinical examination.
Therefore, I insist you to post good clinical pictures to me so that I can help you in a better way.
