A member asked:
My face is breaking out with red rashes, scaly and itchy. could be a symptom of protein deficiency and dehydration?if so, how can i self-treat at home

Forget your theories: Could not be protein deficiency or dehydration. Whatever is going on in your life that you should worry about these 2 things? You have itchy, scaly red condition on face. Where on face? "Self treat"???? Treatment follows diagnosis. Seborrheic dermatitis? Eczema? Other? If you really have some important disorder on your face you have the best chance for clearing by consultation with a dermatologist
