Dermatology - Dry skin patch (cont)...


Expert: Uribe - 10/22/2009

Question
In regards to a question I asked yesterday... I want to clarify a little.  When I say dry skin that flakes off, the spots/patches are no more bigger than my small finger nail; and when I say flaky I dot mean it flakes like "dry skin or dandruff".  The whole spot/patch flakes off as one piece, after it flakes or comes ff the skin under almost looks raw.  Over teh next couple of days it will get dry and begin to come off again.  Please help

Answer

I donīt prescribe by internet.
