Q: My arm looks like a baby's irritated butt—it's all rashy. What's going on?
A: If your skin's looking like you just did the hubba hubba in a bed of mashed strawberries, it might be a case of the common skin condition eczema. It's easily treated with inexpensive skin moisturizers, especially during the winter when the dry air worsens it. Treat your skin like an athlete working out in the heat—keep it hydrated. After your daily shower, immediately add Vaseline or a cream (Eucerin, Keri, Nivea) so the moisture is locked in—and the rash-irritating dryness is kept out. |
