Skin peeling : Interesting how it causes pain in the leg. I wonder if there is inflammation of a nerve as a result of a  skin problem, ascending up. This needs to be seen in person to be better understood

Question 6

i got sunburned on my legs and after a week have lots of tiny blisters. i itched them open which resulted in my skin peeling. how can i help the skin?

Accepted Answer

MOISTURIZE: Ask your Pharmacist to recommend an effective MOISTURIZING cream/lotion..
Your skin needs moisture very badly since sunburns like any other burns produce DEAD SKIN (this looks like blisters!  DO NOT BREAK the blisters by scratching that will produce infection!

Hope this helps!

Depends on cause...: One's primary care doctor can check for medical causes. If none are found, then one can see a dermatologist, especially one specializing in hair restoration (some treatments: minoxidil, etc, ...). Medical causes may include: hormonal problems (low thyroid), seborrhea, alopecia areata, stressful illness. Other causes: genetic male/female pattern baldness, telogen effluvium.

Question 8

dry peeling skin on differin (adapalene) is this a good sign?

Accepted Answer

Yes: This is exactly what one should expect from a topical retinoid (differin (adapalene) is a retinoid). In the early studies on this class of medicine the researchers felt that if a patient is not getting red and peeling then the strength of the retinoid is not high enough. This side effect can often resolve or can be alleviated with a simple noncomedogenic moisturizer. Good question.
