it's called for. How many times do you shower? Someone I know had this issue & sometimes showered multiple times a day. If that's the case with you, limit showering and be careful with soaps and shampoos, moisturize, moisturize, moisturize. Stay away from dyes, esp. your sheets (use white sheets), and launder with washing balls (you won't need detergent, they use ionization to clean).

Stay away from GMO's and processed foods, use healthy oils (cocunut, grapeseed, olive) and be careful with citrus. Vitamin D is important in fighting imflammation, the B's are important for any and all skin issues. You may want to supplement with minerals, selenium, magnesium, etc., a good multi-mineral is helpful to most every body. Experiment with dead sea mineral products.

Stress can be a factor, hard to control when you are dealing with this kind of thing and it feels like it's overtaking your life, but be aware of your stress levels, compensate, treat yourself with TLC. HTH, (((take care))).

(Also, be careful with extremes of sun, heat or cold, extremes in exercise.)
