I used to get that way in the winter time and still do if I am outside when it's windy. Can't really diagnose her condition though as there are alot of skin conditions and some will respond to certain treatment while others will not.





I would suggest using a fragrance-free bath soap and lotion for starters,She can also try bathing in Aveeno SKIN RELIEF BATH TREATMENT It comes in a box and is sold in Pharmacys.





Also have her increase the amount of water she drinks, healing from the inside out, so to speak =)





I posted a link down below where she can get information that might help her.





Good Luck
Reply:Its probably exema (sp) check out webMD, they might have some suggestions or she might need to see a doctor.
Reply:She needs to go see a dermatologist! She should also have her thyroid checked! If your thyroid is not right, that can produce rash like you described. But I'd do the derm. 1st. Good Luck!
Reply:its probally an alergic reaction to water


i have alergic rections to metal if i wear it to long on my stomach
Reply:what she should try is ... showering with baby oil... okay what she should try to do is... before showering.. get in the shower... run the water.. get her body all wet and then rub baby oil allllll over... leave it sitting and then wash it off... then do it again... of course its oil and its not going to all the way come off so it will leave her moisterized... then she shoudl take a showr so she doesnt' smell liek baby oil of course.. and hten mix her lotion with a little bit of baby oil... it really works.... when i got back from iraq my skin was really dry and thats what the doctor told me to do.. try it!.. good luck! :)
Reply:if you live in a warm or hot country then your sister most probably has a heat rash.
Reply:Try Cetaphil, you can find it in Walgreens, use the soap bar and the body lotion.
Reply:That poor thing! My cousin has the same problem with her skin...it appeared outta the blue. She went to many different doctors and no one could give her a straight answer. She finally saw a specialist and found out that it is a rare type of Psoriasis. They also gave her cream and skin rubs and told her to stay out of the sun. She's had it now for about 6 months and it hasn't gone away. Then she mentioned to my uncle (who too had the same skin irritations all over his body) and he told her that the day he went to Mexico and spent time in the sun it already started to go away. By the time he got home it was gone and has not come back since. Im not a doctor or anything and I usually abide by the doctor's orders but it may help to go in the sun, its as if the sun dried up the skin and the salt water probably helped as well. Have your sis talk with a couple of specialists and tell her to mention the sun thing cause it could be dangerous. Good luck to her and I hope that she gets better soon cause its not a pretty thing to have to deal with. If you have any more info on this please keep in touch as I too want to help my cousin.
Reply:She needs to go to a dermo. They will tell her what it is and prescribe an effective treatment!
