Red, Scaly, Flaky Skin, Itching For Years. Consulted Many Doctors, No Improvement. Advice?
Hi, I have had skin issues for years. Been tested for allergies am allergic to my animal's fur. I love my fur babies and can't part with them. But my skin issues have gotten worse. I have problems with red, scaley, flakey skin that itches terribly. I have breakouts on my butt cheeks, under my butt cheeks. I'm now getting problem areas on my thigh area. I am to embarrassed to see my family Doctor. Please can someone help me? Thank you! Bonnie Howell
