Suggest Treatment For Dry Skin
Hi,
I have a problem that has persisted for a few weeks now, the first symptoms started of with excessive sweating through the soles of my feet, that has progressed to dehydration with the skin on hands and face drying out and peeling within a few hours of going to sleep and headaches. I also have bleeding from my intestines, occasional pain in the upper right on my stomach area. I'm unsure if this is related; I also have a intensely painful and itchy rash that usually keeps appearing on my left forearm for 30minutes ~ 1hour, and sometimes insomnia.
