[ Symptoms ] i get eczema on my legs every summer my skin looks awful what stuff can i get from the drugstore to help my skin [ Disease ] it is really important to moisturize effectively sometimes just a little bit of dry skin can make your skin itchy and once you start that itch scratch cycle it can be relentless and very painful i have seen people scratch till they bleed sometimes then when that heals it heals with discoloration and that can last a very long time especially when it is below the knee which is the slowest part of the body to heal so the first and most important thing you do is to hydrate the skin this is done first in the bath or shower so a 10 15 minute bath or shower you can use an oatmeal powder in the bath if you like or a gentle cleanser then as soon as you step out just pat your skin dry so it is still damp and then use a very hydrating moisturizer by this i mean a cream or an ointment not a lotion not an oil because those are too water based too light and will actually help you lose more water from the skin so you need something more rich and emollient on top of that you can put on a white cotton sock or even a plastic lining obviously not too tight you do not want to suffocate your leg but something that is going to help lock that moisture and water into the skin so you can put a plastic wrap on top and then put a sock over it to help really lock that moisture in and that also keeps your hands away from scratching at it |

[ Symptoms ] i have stretch marks on my calves inner thighs and hips cocoa butter diminished the redness what else will help [ Disease ] the answer depends on many different things since your weight the type of exercise how intense you are doing each exercise and how long you do each exercise will all influence how many calories you burn simply put however i would say that you have the potential to burn the most calories by running followed by biking and lastly by using the elliptical one way to measure how many calories you burn during exercise is to look at metabolic equivalents mets mets are a way to measure and gauge the amount of energy you burn during physical activity with 1 met being equal to the energy you burn simply being at rest for instance running at a 10 minute mile pace is roughly the equivalent of 10 mets or ten times the calories you burn at rest unfortunately there really is no good answer for how many mets you burn while using an elliptical a study entitled “2011 compendium of physical activities a second update of codes and met values” only lists using an elliptical at a moderate intensity which was the equivalent of 5 mets for comparison bicycling with a moderate effort 12 13 9mph is 8 mets you can find a comprehensive list of mets by doing an internet search for “compendium of physical activities tracking guide” websites utilizing a formula involving these met values for each type of exercise along with your weight and the duration can help to estimate how many calories you will burn during exercise keep in mind that these are just based off of averages but one such site is <link> play around with the types of activities and the duration of the activity to see what can provide you with the most calories burned |
