I'm dealing with a dry skin issue that persists even during the summer, and if I forget to use moisturizer, the situation becomes quite severe. I've already seen a few doctors around here, but unfortunately, I haven't noticed any improvement. After doing some research online, I found that my symptoms align with ichthyosis vulgaris, and I'm really worried about this condition. Could you offer some advice or guidance?

Ichthyosis vulgaris is a possible cause of your dry skin symptoms, and consulting a dermatologist for a definitive diagnosis and personalized guidance is crucial; in the meantime, consider these general tips to help manage dry skin: use gentle, fragrance-free cleansers, apply moisturizers immediately after bathing, use humidifiers to maintain a humid environment, avoid harsh soaps and exfoliants, and wear breathable clothing; also, explore over-the-counter (OTC) treatments containing urea, hyaluronic acid, or ceramides, which can help lock in moisture and soothe dry ski

View allI'm really concerned because I've been using glyco 6 for half an hour at night and then switching to tyrolite cream overnight for my hyperpigmentation, as my dermatologist recommended. Instead of improving, the dark spots on my face have gotten worse. Should I keep using these creams? I'm not quite sure how they affect my skin. Could the marks be caused by glyco 6? Does glyco 6 peel the skin before it starts to improve the condition?
The sudden increase in dark spots after using Glyco 6 and Tyro-Lite cream may be due to the initial skin reaction, as Glyco 6 (containing glycolic acid) can cause a temporary darkening or "purging" effect as it exfoliates and peels the skin, revealing underlying pigment; however, it's essential to consult your dermatologist

I've been dealing with this dry patch on my inner upper thigh that's making me a bit concerned. It's flaky, white, and it keeps itching which is kind of uncomfortable. I've noticed it for the past few days. My thighs are pretty close together, and I usually just use regular soap when I shower. Could something like my soap be causing this, or is it more likely due to my thighs rubbing together? What can I do to get rid of this dryness and itching?
It sounds like you may be dealing with a fungal infection, such as jock itch. I recommend using an antifungal cream like Luliconazole twice a day on the affected area for 2-4 weeks. Additionally, keeping the area clean and dry, wearing loose-fitting clothing, and avoiding tight underwear can help with the healing process.
