Good day nairalanders. Attached is a picture of my legs. I don't really know how to describe it. It's not just dry but also looks scaly or burnt. It's only like that on my legs and it has always been like that right from my childhood. I have not always taken it serious but I'm really tired of people talking about it anytime they see it. I would really appreciate it if anyone here recommend any form of medical attention or advice to make it look better. Thank you in advance!

Lol. Na una type dey add to people depression. No worries sha, many people have used that word "dry fish" to describe it many times. As per medication, it doesn't itch me or make me uncomfortable. Only the appearance irritates me most times. I've tried body lotions like Nivea and Iris Gold.

If u can't get sabemed with urea in it, ask for cream formulated for extra dry skin. Always check out the active ingredients. Google them to see if they are good for your leg.
Good luck.
