Q: Dry Skin?
asked by: Abnomaly on December 11th, 2006

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.
