A member asked:
I have super extremely dry skin and it appears in patches in some areas and also affects my lips, what's the problem?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Do they itch?: If these areas are red and itchy you may have eczema which gets worse in the winter. The less you shower the better, only use soap in your private parts and apply a cream or ointment moisturizer. If this does not help see a dermatologist.
