Dear Jafaru,
I can totally understand your situation. From what you describe, you are most likely to be suffering from a condition called as
Ichthyosis and often patients get frustrated as there is no permanent treatment for the same; it being a genetically acquired disease. I would like to know more about your condition-
1) Is it only on certain areas of your body or all over?
2) Is there any foul smell?
3) Do you get any blisters?
4) Is there anyone in your family who has this same problem?
5) Were your parents related to each other prior to marriage?
6) What creams and tablets you have taken so far?
Some tips for to take care of your skin
Bathe with luke-warm water for short period of time only. Avoid bathing for prolonged time especially with hot water. Use syndet soaps like dove or
Cetaphil cleansing lotion for bathing. Use
liquid paraffin based non fragrant moisturizer immediately after bath on slightly moist skin 2-3 times daily. Do not scrub your skin or pick the scales on the skin at any time. Wear cotton clothes.
Regards,
Dr Pinanky Adhe
