Dry Skin, Flakes Off. Not A De-tan User, Or Changed Soaps And Detergents. Is It Liver Perspiration Issue?

Hi, I have a strange question concerning symtoms over the past 4 to 6 months. I do not use tanning products-fake or not and haven't changed any of my soaps or detergents. When I dry off after my shower my white towels look like I have been digging in the flower bed. Also, I notice that my underclothes are stained with the 'dirty' look. I just can't seem to get the nerve up to go to a doctor to help me figure out what is going on. So I would like to start with you. What is your opinion? It would seem to be something internal going on but I haven't got a clue. Liver-Perspirations issues??? Totally unsure!!!
Thanks

Hello,
I went through your problem. I can explain certain facts. You can use deodorant and not antiperspirants. Deodorants prevent odour-causing bacteria, Antiperspirants use aluminum-based compounds, such as aluminum chloride, which are acidic in nature - along with your sweat stains the clothing. Moreover Only Dry wash clothing should not be hand washed.
If this is OK for you, no need to go for any further medical checkup.
Best wishes
