Dry skin on my legs

Hello everyone,

I have dry skin on my legs i do put Nivea creme on them but if i miss out for a couple of days it is back again. I do have rheumatoid arthritis has it got anything to do with this ?
I have also noticed that on my supports inside my right shoe it always gets discoloured quickly my left one takes longer, I do find the arthritis affects my right side more than my left has this got anything to do with it? Would be very grateful for any advice I am not on any medication, I do try to follow margaret Hills i do take the formula but I do find the diet difficult ,
Regards Maggie x

Re: Dry skin on my legs

Hi

Patients with rheumatoid arthritis and other autoimmune conditions are more prone to developing skin conditions but the dry skin may be unrelated - I think a professional would have to see you if that was the case for you. The discolouration can arise from simple friction from supports but there are some skin conditions which occur specifically in association with autoimmune conditions
