Hi, I have some sort of dry skin issue/rash on my face and chest. It starts as bumps or hives then bright red splotches that are itchy and feels raw, finally they are flaky. It happens every 4-8 weeks then is gone but is super uncomfortable while I have it. I use a steroid cream for the bumps then moisturize compulsively. Is there anything I can do to avoid this all together?

It can be because of dermatitis/ eczema/fungal or psoriasis etc. Moisturize frequently. Avoid sudden changes in temperature or humidity. Avoid sweating or overheating. Reduce stress. Avoid scratchy materials, such as wool. Avoid harsh soaps, detergents, and solvents. Be aware of any foods that may cause an outbreak and avoid those foods. For this homeopathic treatment is very effective for more details you can consult me.

This may be related to water. Antifungals can help. But avoid water with gloves etc and use ro filters etc.
