Brief Answer:
Perhaps dryness...

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

This perhaps may be related to skin dryness. You should try skin moisturizers like cetaphil moisturizer for every 2-4 hours. Drink plenty of fluids. Eat healthy fruits and vegetables. There are off course no special dietary requirements here. I suggest my patient to eat all available fruits and vegetables unless you are allergic to some.

Hope this helps. Let me know if you need clarifications.

Regards
