RASHES A rash can develop on the body, as a result of dry skin and itching. The skin rashes appear as raised bumps on the skin.

DRY SKIN  Dry cracked flakey skin can appear any where on the body.Sometimes the dry skin will peel and can cause pain and discomfort.

ITCHY SKIN.  Itchy skin rashes can appear all over the body, sometimes scratching of the skin can lead to sores, and infection.

MOTTLED SKIN  Our skin can sometimes change colour, appearance or tone. Dark spots can appear all over the body, exposure to the sun,can cause the spots to become red and swollen.
