    Have you dealt with acne?  That’s fun.  I went through a 6 mo phase of looking like I had chicken pox on my forehead...good times

    Have you had your thyroid checked? Dry skin can be a symptom of hypothyroidism. 

    I have extremely dry skin, but all the very hot showers I take to help with the body aches and pains doesn't help that. I use virgin coconut oil to help, doesn't leave you greasy and smells like yummy cookies. 

    My friend has had dry peeling palms, they can't find an answer and no prescription creams seem to help. She just came off her hormones, she's 60. So not sure if this is another symptoms.
