You might be suffering from severe dry skin or psoriasis, which is hereditary.
If you can, I would suggest seeing a dermatologist. It might be a number of any skin condition. I'm sure there's a treatment for your skin problem. Good luck.

Of course, as with any medical conditions, you should get it checked by a doctor. But, it does sound like eczema. There are many websites that will give you more info. Check out the one below.

It sounds like excema. Go to the dollar store or the pharmacy or Walmart and buy some Hydrcortisone cream 1%. It is inexpensive (about $2) and should take care of it if you apply it fairly regularly.

It could be a number of things, but since I'm not a doc, I don't want to speculate and mislead you. Ask a dermatologist for the best advice.

Try to find another doctor because most of the doctors are more of Veterinarians than human doctors.

sounds like exima. May have contracted a yeast infection if you are sexually active. See a dermatologist.

its a mild form of egzima.....I had it and the sun or tanning booth made it subside for a good chunk of time.
