1. How is chicken skin formed?

Chicken skin is a disease of abnormal keratinization. Apart from affecting the appearance, it does no harm to the body. According to statistics, 80% of people suffer from this disease, but most people only have a few, which are not easy to detect. Hereditary. Many patients have the disease through inheritance. Most literature believes that this disease has a genetic tendency (common in patients with ichthyosis) and is prone to occur in people with allergic or atopic constitutions, or malnutrition (especially those with vitamin A deficiency). Late onset is related to poor utilization of vitamin A and low levels of vitamin A in the blood. Low humidity, dry air, and certain irritants such as tar and oil may also cause this disease.

2. What to do if your chicken skin is itchy

When your skin is itchy, you must pay attention to keeping warm. Especially many girls, they prefer grace to warmth, which will invisibly aggravate the severity of their chicken skin. So if you want to make your skin less itchy, you must not let your skin be exposed to too much wind.

The diet should be light, of course you don’t have to avoid any certain foods, but try to eat less greasy and spicy foods. After all, good health is the most important thing, and balanced nutrition is also better. Although this cannot relieve chicken skin immediately, it can at least ensure that it will not get worse.

When taking a bath, the water temperature should not be too high, and the bathing time should not be too short. After the stratum corneum is removed during the bathing process, use scrub or sea salt loofah to accelerate the removal of dead skin, and massage the skin more. My personal opinion is that when choosing sea salt, you should consider that the particles are larger and the friction effect is better than that of fine salt. It can not only remove dead skin, but also reduce edema.
