Hi, im hoping someone can help me.. I
think its nothing but decided to just ask
in case..
I just recently noticed that my upper body
(pretty much on my shoulders, only down to
my chest and same distance at the back) I
noticed some patches of dry skin. I found
some big ones, and some small ones.. The
big ones are the size of I guess the hole
you make with your index finger hitting
the base of your thumb, and small ones
look like an insect bite..
My initial guess is that it is some insect
bite of some sort.. Or I guess I just
came in contact with someting and that its
just a rash that will go away..
Its just dry skin, I guess it is a lil
bumpy rather than just dry smooth flaky
skin..
Anyone able to help me out? Thanks a lot.

Abnormal accumulation of fluid beneath the
skin is known as edema. This leads to a
puffy appearance, often in a limb, most
commonly a leg. There are many causes of
edema. In some cases, the underlying
problem must be medically treated in order
for the edema to resolve. In other
cases, it is possible with both
conventional and natural approaches to
focus specifically on the edema.
Vitamin b complex 50 and amino acid mix
provide b vitamins and amino acids that
are commonly deficient in people with
edema. Vitamin b6, silicon, corn silk,
hawthorn extract and uva-ursi all act as
diuretics. Both vitamin c and
bioflavonoid concentrate may help control
edema and fluid balance. Alfalfa has
been used as a detoxifier for the body.
Kelp is a natural source for essential
nutrients such as minerals and b vitamins.
Potassium replaces potassium lost in
diuresis. Vitamin e is well-known to be
important for the health of circulatory
system.
