after i went to my friends house and went swimming and was in a bathing suit all day and i came home, i noticed that the skin on the back of my neck was VERY dry and flaky. i've been putting moisturizer on it like 2-3 times a day and it just WILL NOT go away. it is really annoying and gross. and if i scratch it it just flakes off and hurts. what can i do to make it go away?
oh and if it helps i'm 14/f and when i went to my friends house my hair was up in a bun all day.
Melody answered Thursday July 20 2006, 9:50 pm: You went swimming and your hair was in a bun, it could be sunburn that is now peeling. Keep putting moisturizer on it and try exfoliant and baby lotion in the area, and try not to mess with it to much. It could also be a chemical in the pool that you had an allergic reaction to. If it doesn't go away within a few more days, ask your mom about it, or go to a doctor or dermatologist if neccessary. It probably won't come to that though. <3 [ Melody's advice column | Ask Melody A Question ]
