Annoying skin condition?!
Question: Annoying skin condition!?
I think I am allergic to chlorine, whenever I'm in a pool my skin gets right itchy!.
For years and years I've had these pink scaly things on me, they look better when I use cocoa butter but it doesn't go away!.
I even had a test done on it and the doctors didn't know what it was and just told me to keep moisturizing
It might be excema or something but they're not sure!.
The odd thing is, in the water (not pool water) it looks alot better!. Its hard to explain!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I think I know exactly what you are talking about me and my sister both have had this for as long as i can remember!. it acts up more for us in the winter and itches very badly!. My sister went to the doctor and told them it wasnt getting any better (they were prescribing hydrocortozone in the creme, which works if the case is mild)
finally they listened to her and she went to a skin specialist!.!.!.what they basically told her was that we are allergic to water (when our hands are in it too much) (I know that sounds weird but if you have this you know exactly what i'm talking about)and just about any cleaning substance, weather and so forth!. He prescribed a new creme which actually works a lot better(grr!.!.cant remember the name!?) he also said to moisturize after everytime you wash your hands!.
What would work best is actually going to the skin specialist!.!.be persistant look them in the eye and tell them its not working!. sometimes doctors are too busy to realize that we actually do know when somethings not right with our bodies!.!. anyways good luck I know how frustrating all this can be : )Www@Answer-Health@Com

It looks better in the water because the water softens and hydrates it!. Chlorine is harsh on the skin, it may just be you have form of excema or psoriasis!. The chemicals in the pool would irratate this!.
Zinc Oxide cream or Sudacreme is excelllent for soothing this, try using a moisturising agent which is perfume free!. Cocoa buttter in it's purest form, Aqueous cream, Liquid Parafin or E45 cream are also excellent!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You may have sebhorrea !.!.!. try getting a tin of 'shea butter' and putting that onto your 'spots' !.!.!. it won't ever go away, but you will look and feel much better, because it 'moisturizes' and it helps the itching to go away!. Most doctors don't have to treat sebhorrea, but if you go to a pharmacist, they'll tell you to try cortisone cream!. That helps, but my husband has it right between his eyebrows, and he says the shea butter works MUCH BETTER than the cortisone cream!. Look for shea butter in 'bath stores' or 'fancy soap stores' !.!.!. it's a bit expensive, but a tiny bit goes a LONG WAY because you just need enough to 'cover' it !.!.!. no more!Www@Answer-Health@Com
