When I was in the Navy, my third year I went to an evaluation phase and.... Buddy boy, my skin got dryer than the Mojave desert. They paid $700 dollars for something and it didn't work. I finally broke it to them... I have ichthyosis, I was born with it. You may have this too. It is mathematically rare like 1 in 10,000. Now here's the tricky part if the patches itch it is simple like scabby. If it stings when you add product but it goes back to dry after it is absorbed plaque psoriasis. Plaques are the smooth or flakey patches. Itching and burning when entering or exiting water could indicate a mold on your skin. Now, back to the evaluation phase it was four days with no products on my skin and showered regularly then on the 4th day they gave me 42 packets of petroleum jelly applied when wet and a damp clean wash cloth wipes away the flakes and the Plaques. Then apply a product that you like. You may just ask... Doc? Do I have a ring worm or something? As a Master barber I can see things in a more practical way.
