How do i cure excessive dry/dead skin?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dry/dead skin: Moisture and avoidance of drying agents--soap, hot water--are the treatments for dry skin. Dead skin can be exfoliated with a lotion containing Lactic Acid (amlactin lotion--otc). It's not really an issue of "cure", it's an issue of maintenance and control.
