I am 20 years old, and have light tan skin. I have extremely Dry, Itchy, and Sensitive Skin! I have suffered from folliculitis and many times after I shave my legs turn red and bumpy. Soon I will have laser hair removal done, but for now I need something. After I shave my skin itches for days. Right now I am using St. Ives Extra Dry Skin Lotion but I am still itching. Any advice, tips or suggestions are accepted (no oily lotions please).
Thank you so much
Dry, Itchy, and Sensitive Skin! I need help.?
I recommend Aveeno skin care products. I use all their products from facial moisturizer, body lotion and soap. I suggest that you use unscented products since you have follicultis. The fragrance is the culprit for the itchiness!

contact a dermatologist.
Reply:Try putting some baby oil in the bath, and then have a nice relax in the tub.
Reply:my skin calms down after using thermal water
i prefer avene but there more other firms: vichy, uriage,bioderma
i also use every day an emollient cream to prevent eczemas
Reply:I agree with Sally, try some baby oil.
Reply:I use straight jojoba oil, when shaving, it's a nourishing, non-greasy oil. It holds moisture in, and is good to use directly after shower too. I have dry sensitive skin too, in the winter time, I also use Aveeno, menthol lotion. It cools the itch right away!! It's awesome!!
Reply:do not shave your legs, or avoid it for a few days. grow the hairs to 2mm and then wax them instead of shaving. in the meantime go to the chemist and ask for aqueous cream, and use that instead of cream and soap. it is quite thick and if you mix it with water it makes a good fragrance free and soap free 'soap'. The St Ives could be irritating you if you are very sensitive as it may contain fragrances and chemicals.
Reply:The only thing that works for me is Aveeno lotion with oatmeal. It is a beige with green on it and it is the only thing I use because it is not oily and is for sensitive skin. It can be expensive, so I use the Walmart brand and it is awesome.
Reply:Baby oil works wonders! After you shave, run a warm bath, nothing major, even just a few cups worth....and rinse yourself off. Don't dry off, rather pat yourself off if you don't want to 'air dry'. I would recommend Jergen's lotions. The others are not bad recommendations, but I am speaking from my personal experience. I am 21, hispanic, female, and I had your problem with really dry skin. As for the folliculitis, I am sure you have tried many products, so I don't know what to tell you about that. Have you tried St. Ives Medicated(not the lotion, the face wash...works on all parts of the body)? It's inexpensive and I know it helped my brother, he had that.
Reply:Try "Eucerin Dry Skin Therapy." It's dermatologist recommended Look for the words "Plus Intensive Repair Lotion" on the bottle or tube. I buy it at Wal*Mart, but they sell it most everywhere. Good luck!
Reply:Eucerin or Avenno work great. I have very dry sensitive skin
I now use and sell Mary Kay and of course would recommend those too but that's what I used before oh and Luburdurm (sp)lotion worked okay too. See if they have website sometime they will send you samples or coupons.
Reply:Dry skin is a big thing. One of the problem is because we wash in chlorinated water everyday. Chlorine is a bleaching agent and it strips away the natural skin oil. All the cream and lotion we put on is not the same and it is a after application. I do have dry skin myself and I use shower filter. It really help is you case is same as mine. Use shower filter and also apply the cream to see it that works. I myself uses shower filter and finds it to work for me, but still I use cream.

Skin question?
Okay, so ever since I can remember (even in my baby pictures!) my skin has been weird. My legs are pale, but not very pale, and this still happens when I'm tan anyway. So, my skin randomly gets like blotchy maybe? I can't really explain it. It's kind of like what it would look like if you could see all my blood vessels, but they're not my blood vessels. It happens at random times. I remember usually at the beginning of gym class when I was little it would always happen. A lot of times when I get warmed up it starts to disappear. Does ANYONE have ANY idea what I'm talking about or how to help?
Skin question?
What you are describing sounds like livedo reticularis. This is condition that is not harmful. In some situations it can be related to some diseases of the connective tissue such as lupus or mixed connective tissue disease, but these are the more rare events. These diseases can be ruled out by a simple blood test. You should go see your dermatologist to get the blood tests done.
Good Luck!
Your Friendly Dermatologist.

Skin is tender to touch, i'm cold, tired and have no appetite.?
Previous reocurring problems: dry skin (controlled by body butter), nasal drip (controlled sometimes by using prescription nasal spray), over production of stomach acid
Starting last night about 2 hours after dinner i felt really tired and cold. When i woke up this morning my neck and back were (still are) very stiff. i feel warm but my hands and feet are freezing. I feel very tired. my skin is tender to touch all over, especially my neck, stomach and back. i used body butter virtually everywhere and it helped but it's still tender to touch. the feeling i have inside my body is similar to having very bad sunburn and it almost gives you chills, but not quite. someone mentioned it could be a fool allergy or just nerves. Please help me out with suggestions so i know if it persists how to approach my doc if i need to. i feel i may have a temperature as well but wont know until i get home. Thanks - STeph
Skin is tender to touch, i'm cold, tired and have no appetite.?
Sounds to me like you have a virus that has been going around.Its symptoms are body aches and sore muscles followed by nausea and chills.Some have even reported slight head ache and vomiting along with feeling very weak and over tired.
For most all the length of this has been around a week to 8 days.Some have reported it to leave and return for a few days.
Take a few Advil and get extra sleep. Eat smaller meals and more often rather than big meals at one sitting.This will keep you nourished but less likely that you will have vomiting and acid problems from lack of food in your body.
Its a tuff one but you should be all good soon. Make sure to monitor your temp for the next few days and medicate with fever reducer if above 100 degrees.
Good luck!

Reply:I think you should definitely go to the doctor as soon as possible and tell him your symptoms.
Reply:Sounds like a light case of the flu. I get the same symptoms occasionally. Take it EZ, take vitamin C and Zinc, take a hot shower and some Tylenol PM and sleep it off.

Skin problems!?
i have really weird skin. there's a patch of dry skin on my face, but the rest is oily. i don't get that many pimples, but when i do, they end up scarring my face. they never go away, so now i look like i have a lot of pimples. everything's a mess. please, help!!
Skin problems!?
Honey, you need to see a dermatologist. Make an appointment. In the meantime, check this website.
Treatment at home can help reduce acne flare-ups.
Wash your face (or other affected skin) gently once or twice a day.
Do not squeeze pimples, because that often leads to infections, worse acne, and scars.
Use water-based skin care products that gently clean your skin. Avoid products such as milky cleansers, cold creams, lipsticks, and lip glosses that contain oils.
Use nonprescription medicated creams, soaps, lotions, and gels to treat your acne. Always read the label carefully to make sure you are using the product correctly.

Skin problems!?
Consult a dermatologist. Use soaps with no chemicals (such as cetaphil). Use less moisturizer (with no chemicals like cetaphil) on the oily part and use more on the dry part.
Reply:Visit a dermatologist... See what he/she perscribes. Or, if seeing a doctor is not an option, I suggest trying ProActiv.
Reply:Check out a skin care line called Joey new york.. they have alot of great products that should help you.
Reply:Yikes. I think you should see a dermatologist. First I thought maybe you have combination skin, but if you get acne that doesn't go away for a long time and scars, that is cystic, and unfortunately there isn't a lot you can do about it with over-the-counter treatments. Please see a derm and hopefully they can sort you out before you get any more scars.
Reply:I can relate! I have what sounds like a similar problem. It may be eczema. As many have suggested, see a dermatologist to find out about those scarring pimples. A derm can also assit with the removal of those scars. Don't worry, help is just a doctor's visit away!
Reply:I have the SAME problem as you!!! I recently got Olay facial scrub and Olay daily moisturizer and my dry patch is no longer there. Also the facial scrub has also helped out my acne. I know it's hard but try all of the different over the counter products before you take drastic measures like pills or expensive products. Good luck and remember you are not alone!

What is the best skin care regime??
I have sensitive skin, and a lot of the treatments i have used have caused my skin to break out in rashes, yet those for sensitive skin dont really clean my skin very well.... anyone have any suggestions?? I was recommended Arbonne by a friend in America, but we dont have that here in Australia.
What is the best skin care regime??
Your best skin care begins and ends with a balanced diet and good nutrition. Weed out the fried, fatty foods, and reduce the heavy dairy foods. Eat lots of fibers and drink milk if you can tolerate it. Rub a little high end age reversing eye cream and facial cream on your face every morning but spend the money for a better brand from the pharmacy or the high end department stores. Use a mask at least once a month. Steam is good too, if you have a sauna. When you sleep you could practice good skin maintainence by first applying a light film of e-oil from a liquid vitamin e pill after poking the pill lightly with a pin to seep the serum out. Take care by keeping in a routine, the best care you can do is to use a good regime for all your health and nutrition needs; double for your mental health. Remember to look in the mirror and appreciate your own beauty. Don't focus on the surface when you look in the mirror, find your inner beauty and allow your beauty to be reflected. You can try various products but the products with the age reversal verbage tend to be more promising. Keep your hair very clean. Hair carries a lot of oil, in order to keep the oil from your face keep the oily hair away. Splash a nice spritz on your face seven or twelve times a day, or use an alcohol swipe and freshen up, or witch hazel; whatever you do use the cleansing practice often. Stay away from make up or wear it lightly. A little sun (not a lot) helps to dry up the oils too. Good luck.

Try Nu Skin
Reply:If you have sensitive skin, you need to know first what ingredient you are sensitive to. Its best to consult your derma before using any product, so that you'd know what particular ingredient to avoid =)
Reply:Actually, Arbonne just started in Australia. Go to http://www.arbonne.com/company/internati...
Since it is new, the best thing to do would be to become a consultant yourself, that way you can get the products at a discounted rate, plus you could sell it and make money. Ofcourse you don't have to sell it if you become a consultant, you could just get the products cheaper. But since it is a ripe market there, I would sell it. If you do decide to check it out and become an independent consultant, feel free to log in under me. My consultant number is 17129723. You should first try the NutriminC RE9, but if you find that makes your skin too oily then go with the Intelligence set. However, in the intelligence set watch out for the Masque with thermal fusion. That thermal fusion gets hot!

Anyone else pregnant having skin issue's ?
Hi everyone I just wanted to ask I'm a few days away from going into my second trimester. All of a sudden like literally over night my skin has gotten really rough and blotchy, and red and breaking out. I drink at least 8 glasses of water a day. I mean before I got pregnant I had few break outs here and there and the occasional dry skin patch but never this nasty red blotchy skin all over my face, oh and all of a sudden these really dark circles under my eyes and I'm getting enough sleep. Anyone else going through this or went through this? Anyway to help clear and even, and smooth my skin back?
Anyone else pregnant having skin issue's ?
yes yes yes i am 19 weeks and thats sounds just like me talking!! what i have is Savlon to dry out the pimples and this other cream that you apply to dry skin i dont know what it is called but they just gave it to me in the Pharmacy! just go ask them adn they will give you all the right products, make sure you tell them you are pregnant
as for the eyes if you are still feeling tired then after getting enough sleep you may need to take iron tablets but you have to see you LMC first
Anyone else pregnant having skin issue's ?
More hormones are kicking in. Wash your face more often and I use an apricot scrub to help with the break outs. You may also want to get a lotion specifically designed for your face that will not clog your pores but will moisturize.
Reply:ohhhh my goodness girl let me tell you what..I soo feel ya...I am pregnant with my 5th and ohh my god I am like having such the same issue...I wish I could tell ya what would help, but I havent really found anything. I know anti bacterial stuff they say helps.
Reply:I didn't have what you have, but my skin is now allergic to lotions after my pregnancy! I know that's a symptom of pregnancy, what you described. Sorry, it should go away after your pregnancy!
