Hey, has anyone experienced round dry patches all over the body? I’ve placed all kinds of ointment on the. I’m wondering if this is a side effect of the survey or something? I’ve made an appointment to see a doctor but it’ll take TWO WEEKS before I can get in.

My skin has been exceptionally dry. I think it's from dehydration, which makes sense because I'm sure I don't yet drink enough. I'm hoping that's all it is for you!

My legs are super dry and I haven't been hitting my water goals either. I'm going to try to step up my water intake to see if that helps!

I have always had super dry skin, especially in the winter. I will get dry spots. I always drink plenty of water and use PRESCRIPTION lotions too.

But, since surgery I have had a quarter sized dry spot right in the middle of my back that I can't get to go away. I don't know how it would be from surgery but it is weird that it happened all at the same time. I showed my doctor last time I was there, he confirmed it is just dry skin and to keep applying the lotion to it.

Usually they go away but this one has been there for 5 months now..?‍♀️

So, I have a random weird itchy spot near my back, has been there for years now. Same spot, doesn't always itch but it flares up periodically. The dermatologist said it is something that happens, more commonly in women. It is harmless, and I wish I could remember what she called it. Googling isn't a big help, but I think it might be this one: notalgia paresthetica. You might want to ask a dermatologist at some point, but again she wasn't concerned.

eczema ? sometimes during body stress like rapid weight loss the immune system can trigger eczema or atypical dermatitis… i have used oatmeal powdered in a food processor and mixed with shaved ivory soap (reformed into bars with a little water) for relief before when i have gotten patches

It's always somewhere you can't reach...
