I live in Hyderabad and whether here is quite dry. After taking shower my skin itches a lot even after applying lotion and moisturizer. I have a habit of using soap in more quantities. Even I develop whiteness on my skin mostly hands after even washing once. I use dove for bathing and at times other soaps too. Please could you advise some mild soap which washes off easily as dove seems to be sticky and doesn't go off easily. Shall I consult a skin specialist. This is happening since long and as I suffer from CD I could not resist using excess soap.

Good to hear from you lybrate-user Looks your skin is dry needs excessive rehydration to your skin. Never use lots of soaps and having PH > 5.5 which is harmful try intensifying moisturiser. Excessive intake of water water fruits avoid junk food Please consult available dermatologist in your location.
