skin conditions

Is anyone experiencing any bad skin conditions atm?

I'm known for dry skin throughout my entire life.
My right wrist is dry as hale right now o.o Better put on some aveeno now.
My lips easily gets chapped, since I breathe through my mouth. I have to use lip balm 24 7. There were even times when I woke up with my lips stained with dried blood.
A long, long while ago, the area between my fingers of my left hand used to be so dry that I could literally peel the skin off if I wanted to. Pretty freaky o.o

Haha, those are severe conditions.

Apparently 16 million people in America have rosacea or rosacea-like diseases.
Not all of them are very visible.

Like for me, I only have small red dots on my forearm and calves, nothing too noticeable.

[quote=ZzXxskyxXzZ]I have pretty dry skin myself, which forces me to use a lot of lotion on my whole body.
I also have rosacea-like dots on my upper-arm and calves, which don't really affect me in any way.

Everything is just horrible in the winter because it's so cold and dry.[/quote]

With temperature transitions from fall into winter, added with the instability of seamless transition into any season that Houston is known for: I'm having a bad time.
Eczema acts up and flairs frequently from Nov into Dec for me. It'll be 60F one morning, 40F at night, then 75F the next morning; and finally decides to sit at 70F that night.
Wacky stuff.
