I'm dealing with some itchy and flaky skin, and I'm really worried it might spread further. Could it be something serious? Also, I'm not diabetic, and though I have high blood pressure, it's well-managed. Any advice on what this might be or how to treat it?
It sounds like you might be dealing with a skin condition like eczema or seborrheic dermatitis, which can cause itching and flakiness. Since you have high blood pressure, it's important to use gentle, non-irritating treatments. If it worsens or spreads, I'd recommend seeing a dermatologist for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.
