Hi kundalites,

 

Hope you are all well. Has anyone else had a problem with dry skin? I am having

a lot of forehead pressure and strong energy coming into my 6th chakra. The

pressure is all the way across my forehead, not just between the eyebrows like

before. I had a powerful burst of energy which felt like it came into my

forehead a few days ago. The skin on my forehead seems to be dry and coming off

now...

Hi bruce,

Xeroderma-dry skin yes, I have had much for months. I tried the baking soda

topically and dissolved for bathtub. I found fragrance free lye soap to be quite

helpful in that its not so irratative to my dry skin. I've resorted to trials of

oils placed when skin still wet from shower. In seminary, I learned this also

seals skins micro leaks(aura preserving).

But, unlike your focal forehead involvement, mines all over.

I'm courious to know when this tongue thing will end for me. For 6 mos now, the

tip sizzles and lips burn. I have to keep it up? It feels like electric needes

are zapping the tip when its up, not so when not. Any advise?

All welcome to comment.

Shanti, tim

Hi Bruce,

I don't have dry skin, but we were just talking about it last night. Bag

Balm, for cows, is really good for dry skin. After trying many things, it

the only thing that helped my mare's itchy tail. And then last night someone

was telling me that that it is popular with nurse's as they was their hands

so much.

In the US it might be Udder Balm.

 

Carla

 

here's the Wikipedia info...

 

*Bag Balm* is a salve <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salve> developed in 1899

to soothe irritation on cows' <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cattle>

udders<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Udder>after milking.

[1]

<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bag_Balm#cite_note-0>[2]<http://en.wikipedia.org/w\

iki/Bag_Balm#cite_note-ap2010-1>The

product is officially only meant for animals and is inspected as such

by

the FDA

<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FDA>,[2]<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bag_Balm#cit\

e_note-ap2010-1>but

it's also often used as a treatment for chapped and irritated

skin <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skin> on humans and can be found in

places such as drug stores <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pharmacy>, ski

resorts <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ski_resort>, online vendors,

needle-work stores, and of course farm and feed stores. Its uses are many,

for example " squeaky bed springs, psoriasis, dry facial skin, cracked

fingers, burns, zits, diaper rash, saddle sores, sunburn, pruned trees,

rifles, shell casings, bed sores and radiation

burns. " [2]<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bag_Balm#cite_note-ap2010-1>This

list is not exclusive but illustrative, as it is beyond the scope of

this article to list every application.

Tim,

 

Sometimes my tongue just wants to go up and as far back as it can go on the

upper palate - might see if your tongue wants to do that. Also, keep those

fingertips together as well.

 

And find opportunities to give the energy to others in loving service. It could

be as simple as pampering your wife, doing things for your kids, etc.

 

Love,

 

David

Hi bruce... my skin is very dry at the moment and I mean my whole face... I have

never been a person that uses moisturiser creams but currently I am frantically

putting all sorts of goo on my face in order to rid myself of this dryness.

Sometimes the area around the 6th chakra also becomes sort of bumpy, like

millions of tiny pimples and the skin is like sanpaper on just this area.

some days I feel my face is going through a sort of accelorated ageing

process...yikes!

I have nothing to offer you except empathy!

thanks for posting this Bruce, I would be interested in hearing what remedies

others might have although I suspect there is not much can be done and it is

just one of those phases.

love julia

It's called Bag Balm here in the States, too, and last I checked, it came in a

green tin. Good stuff!

bruce and julia,

for my face, I've started using a drop or two of jojoba oil and I like the

effects. I can relate to what you write Julia as I've had a multitude of skin

problems since this process started although its starting to calm down. I've

had a lot of the peeling/flaking on my face, and I too would feel all this

energy in my 3rd eye & it would become red & peel. I started getting this image

that I was shedding my skin to expose the true me, peeling off the mask.

Love,

Jan

Hi Bruce:

I personally would recommend using vitamin E, aloe vera and/or essential oils.

 

Essential Oils I would recommend:

Chamomile

Geranium

Hyssop

Lavender

Patchouli

Rose

Sandalwood

Tea-Tree

Ylang-Ylang

 

For example:

Add 5 drops of lavender oil to your bath water. After the bath, apply diluted

evening primrose oil or aloe vera cream.

 

Calendula and comfrey have skin-softening properties. They can be used in a

facial sauna or to make herbal or floral waters. Comfrey also reduces redness

and soothes irritated skin.

 

Drink teas of camomile, dandelion or peppermint.

 

Eat a balanced diet that includes vegetables, fruits, grains, seeds, and nuts.

Eat quality protein from vegetable sources. Increase your intake of raw foods.

If this in on Shakti's shopping list for you, eat foods such as garlic, onions,

eggs, and asparagus that are high in sulfur. Consume plenty of yellow and orange

vegetables. These are high in beta-carotenean. Carrots are especially good.

 

Be sure to drink your water. Avoid alcohol and caffeine. These substances have a

diuretic effect, causing the body and skin cells to lose fluids and essential

minerals.

 

Love:

~Danielle

Hello Bruce,

Aloe Vera gel. The real pulp from the Aloe Vera plant. Put this on

for the nourishment of the skin. Let it dry on the skin.

Namaste

 

Hi Bruce. . .

 

Another possibility is to work from the inside out. . .Walnuts, almonds,

vitamin E, Omega 3's, fish are a great way to bring more oil into the

skin. . . also in winter months i add more humidity to the air and have

a tendency to take long soaking baths. I live in an older building that

uses steam heat which i have come to love.

 

It seems appropriate for dry skin when one thinks about the

transformative peels of K Ma with her symbolic of the snake.

 

This shedding of skin seems rather positive to me dear friend, ending of

an old layer and beginning of a new being. . .

 

love and peace

Thank you for mentioning this because my daughter suffers from eczema and we

need to come up with something to take the itch away... We're trying everything

we can at the moment to make her more comfortable.

Eczema is a virus. I am no MD and no advice of a medical nature should be

construed from any aspect of this post.

" If it were me... "

 

I would soak in a hot bath with one medium box of baking soda in the water for

at least one half hour. I would then apply a mixture of calmaline lotion and

baking soda 50/50 and dab it on the area of skin I was having the problem with.

Letting it dry into a crust. This would be just for the itch. I have used this

for poison oak and it did help at that time.

 

For viral protection a more alkaline body chemistry can be very helpful. Vitamin

C complex, grape seed extract, baking soda baths, and a whole list of alkaline

foods can be very helpful in this kind of scenario. Take it for what you feel

you can do and then see what works for you and of course always talk with some

MD about doing anything in life. - lol! Here is that list:

 

 

Human blood pH should be slightly alkaline ( 7.35 -

7.45 ). A pH of 7.0 is neutral. A pH below 7.0 is

acidic. A pH above 7.0 is alkaline. An acidic

pH can occur from, an acid forming diet, emotional

stress, toxic overload, and/or immune reactions or any

process that deprives the cells of oxygen and

other nutrients. The body will try to compensate for

acidic pH by using alkaline minerals. If the diet

does not contain enough minerals to compensate, a

build up of acids in the cells will occur.

 

An acidic balance will: decrease the body's ability

to absorb minerals and other nutrients, decrease the

energy production in the cells, decrease it's

ability to repair damaged cells, decrease it's ability

to detoxify heavy metals, make tumor cells thrive, and

make it more susceptible to fatigue and illness.

 

The reason acidosis is more common in our society is

mostly due to the typical American diet, which is far

too high in acid producing animal products like meat,

eggs and dairy, and far too low in alkaline producing

foods like fresh vegetables.

 

Additionally, we eat acid producing processed foods

like white flour and sugar and drink acid producing

beverages like coffee and soft drinks.

 

We use too many drugs, which are acid forming; and, we

use artificial chemical sweetners like NutraSweet,

Spoonful, Sweet 'N Low, Equal, or Aspartame, which are

poison, and, extremely acid forming.

 

One of the best things we can do to correct an overly

acid body is to clean up the diet and lifestyle.

 

To maintain health, the diet should consist of 60%

alkaline forming foods & 40% acid forming foods.

 

To restore health, the diet should consist of 80%

alkaline forming foods & 20% acid forming foods.

TROPHOLOGY - THE SCIENCE OF FOOD COMBINING

 

Trophology introduction

 

" Compared to Taoist concepts of balance, the Western notion of a

'balanced diet' is simplistic and superficial.

 

Western physicians advise everyone to take 'a little of everything at

every meal', jumbling together such disparate

ingredients as meat, milk, starch, fat and sugar.

 

Such indiscriminate consumption of food is no different than pouring

a

combination of gas, oil, alcohol and sugar into the

gas tank of your car. These blends will not burn efficiently, will

provide little power and will quickly clog up the engine

so badly that the entire system grinds to a halt.

 

The following advice given to the founding Emperor of the Ming

Dynasty on the occasion of the authors 100th birthday,

clearly reflects the fact that the ancient Chinese were well aware of

the importance of the science of food combining.

 

'Food and drink are relied upon to nurture life. But if one does

not know that the nature of substances may be opposed

to each other, and one consumes them altogether indiscriminately, the

vital organs will be thrown out of harmony and

disastrous consequences will soon arise. Therefore, those who wish to

nurture their lives must carefully avoid doing such

damage to themselves.'

 

[Chia Ming, Essential Knowledge for Eating and Drinking, 1368 AD].

 

In plain English, the Yin and Yang of diet boils down

to 'Trophology',

a term which you and no doubt your doctor, have probably never heard

before.

 

Modern medical training in the West, especially in America, is

notoriously deficient in nutritional science, although there

are a few enlightened nutritional scientists in America and Europe

today who, despite sneers from their peers in the

medical establishment, are making great medical strides through the

science of Trophology.

 

The Western scientific equivalent of Yin/Yang balance in food

combinations is something we all learned in elementary high

school chemistry: acid/alkaline balance, or 'pH'. We all know that if

we did add a measure of alkaline to an equal measure

of acid, the resulting chemical solution is as neutral as plain

water.

That's the principle behind reaching for bicarbonate

(a strong alkaline) to relieve 'acid indigestion'.

 

It is an established scientific fact in Western medicine that, in

order to initiate efficient digestion of any concentrated

animal protein, the stomach must secrete pepsin. But it is also a

well-known fact that pepsin can function only in a highly

acidic medium, which must be maintained for several hours for

complete

digestion of proteins.

 

It is equally a well established fact of science that when we chew a

piece of bread or potato or any other

carbohydrate/starch, ptyalin and other alkaline juices are

immediately

secreted into the food by saliva in the mouth. When

swallowed, the alkalized starches require an alkaline medium in the

stomach in order to complete their digestion.

 

Anyone should be able to figure out what therefore happens when you

ingest protein and starch together. Acid and alkaline

juices are secreted simultaneously in response to the incoming

protein

and starch, promptly neutralizing one another and

leaving a weak, watery solution in the stomach that digests neither

protein nor starch properly. Instead, the proteins

putrefy and the starches ferment owning to the constant presence of

bacteria in the digestive tract.

 

This putrefaction and fermentation are the primary cause of all sorts

of digestive distress, including gas, heartburn,

cramps, bloating, constipation, foul stools, bleeding, piles,

colitis,

and so forth.

 

Many so-called 'allergies' are also the direct result of improper

food

combinations: the bloodstream picks up the toxins

from the putrefied, fermented mess as it passes slowly through the

intestines, and these toxins in turn cause rashes,

hives, headaches, nausea, and other symptoms commonly branded

as 'allergies'.

 

The same foods that cause allergic reactions when improperly combined

often have no ill-side effects whatsoever when

consumed according to the rules of Trophology.

 

The final fact of the matter is this: when you immobilize your

stomach and impair digestive functions by consuming

foods in indiscriminate combinations, the bacteria in your alimentary

canal have a field day. They get all the nutrients

and thrive, while you get all the wastes and suffer. "

 

=====

 

Protein and Starch

 

" This is the worst possible combination of foods to mix together at a

single meal, and yet it is the mainstay of modern

Western diets: meat and potatoes, hamburgers and fries, eggs and

toast, etc.

 

When one consumes protein and starch together, the alkaline enzyme

ptyalin pours into the food as it's chewed in the

mouth.

 

When the masticated food reaches the stomach, digestion of starch by

alkaline enzymes continues unabated, thereby

preventing the digestion of protein by pepsin and other acid

secretions.

 

The ever-present bacteria in the stomach are thus permitted to attach

the protein and putrefaction commences, rendering

nutrients in the protein food largely useless to you and producing

toxic wastes and foul gases, including such poisons as

indol, skatol, phenol, hydrogen sulphide, phenylpropionic acid, and

others.

 

If that is the case, you may well wonder, then why does the stomach

have no trouble handling foods that naturally contain

both protein and starch, such as whole grains?

 

As Dr. Shelton points out, " There is a great difference between the

digestion of a food, however complex its composition,

and the digestion of a mixture of different foods. "

 

To a single article of food that is a starch-protein combination, the

body can easily adjust its juices, both as to

strength and timing, to the digestive requirements of the food. But

when two foods are eaten with different, even opposite,

digestive needs, this precise adjustment of juices to requirements

becomes impossible. "

 

THE RULE: Eat concentrated proteins such as meat, fish, eggs and

cheese separately from concentrated starches such as

bread, potatoes and rice.

 

For example, eat toast or eggs for breakfast, the hamburger patty or

the bun for lunch, meat or potatoes for dinner.

 

=====

 

Protein and Protein

 

" Different proteins have different digestive requirements. For

example

the strongest enzymatic action on milk occurs during

the last hour of digestion, whereas on meat it occurs during the

first

hour and on eggs somewhere in between.

 

It is instructive to recall the ancient dietary law which Moses

imposed on his people [the Jewish people], forbidding the

simultaneous consumption of milk and flesh.

 

Two similar meats such as beef and lamb, or two types of fish such as

salmon and shrimp, are not sufficiently different in

nature to cause digestive conflict in the stomach and may be

consumed together. "

 

THE RULE: Eat only one major type of protein at a single meal.

 

Avoid combinations such as meat and eggs, meat and milk, fish and

cheese.

 

Insure the assimilation of the full range of vital amino acids by

varying the types of concentrated proteins taken at

different meals.

 

=====

 

Acid and starch

 

" Any acid taken together with starch suspends secretion of ptyalin, a

biochemical fact of life upon which all physicians

agree.

 

Therefore, if you consume oranges, lemons and other acid fruits, or

acids such as vinegar's, along with starch, no ptyalin

is secreted in the mouth to initiate the first stage of digestion.

Consequently, the starch hits the stomach without the

vital alkaline juices it needs to digest properly, permitting

bacteria

to ferment it instead.

 

A single teaspoon of vinegar, or its equivalent in other acids, is

all

it takes entirely to suspend salivary digestion of

starch in the mouth. "

 

THE RULE: Eat acids and starches at separate meals.

 

For example, if you eat toast or cereal for breakfast (starches),

skip

the orange juice (acid) as well as the eggs

(concentrated protein).

 

If you're eating a starch-based meal of noodles or rice, avoid

vinegar

as well as concentrated protein (meat, chicken).

 

=====

 

Acid and protein

 

" Since protein requires an acid medium for proper digestion, you'd

think that acid foods would facilitate protein

digestion, but that's not the case.

 

When acid foods enter the stomach they inhibit the secretion of

hydrochloric acid, and the protein-digesting enzyme pepsin

can work only in the presence of hydrochloric acid, not just any

acid.

 

Therefore orange juice inhibits the proper digestion of eggs, and a

strong vinegar dressing on salads inhibits the

digestion of steak. "

 

THE RULE: Avoid combining concentrated proteins and acids at the

same meal.

 

=====

 

Starch and sugar

 

" It has been established that, when sugar enters the mouth along with

starch, the saliva secreted during mastication

contains no ptyalin, thereby sabotaging starch digestion before it

reaches the stomach.

 

Furthermore, such a combination blocks passage of sugar through the

stomach until the starch is digested, causing it to

ferment.

 

The by-products of sugar fermentation are acidic, which in turn

further inhibits digestion of starches, which require

alkaline mediums for digestion.

 

Bread (starch) and butter (fat) is a perfectly compatible

combination,

but when you spread a spoonful of honey or jam over

it, you introduce sugars to the blend, which interferes with the

digestion of the starch in bread.

 

The same principle applies to breakfast cereal sprinkled with sugar,

heavily frosted cakes, sweet pies, and so forth. "

 

THE RULE: Eat starches and sugars separately.

 

=====

 

Melon

 

" Melons are such a perfect food for humans that they require no

digestion whatsoever in the stomach. Instead, they pass

quickly through the stomach and move into the small intestine for

digestion and assimilation.

 

But this can happen only when the stomach is empty and melons are

eaten alone, or in combination only with other fresh raw

fruits.

 

When consumed with or after other foods that require complex

digestion

in the stomach, melons cannot pass into the small

intestine until the digestion of other foods in the stomach is

complete.

 

So they sit and stagnate instead, quickly fermenting and causing all

sorts of gastric distress. "

 

THE RULE: Eat melons alone or leave them alone.

 

=====

 

Desserts

 

" One should avoid any sort of sweet dessert after a big meal, for

this

type of food combines poorly with everything.

 

Even fresh fruit should be avoided right after a big meal because it

will back up in the stomach and ferment instead of

digest.

 

If you really have a 'sweet tooth' and crave cakes, pies and

pastries,

indulge your habit occasionally by making a whole

meal of them.

 

They are still not good for you but at least taken alone they will

not

cause as much gastric distress and toxic by-products

as when taken after meals. "

 

THE RULE: Avoid sweet starchy desserts, as well as fruits, after

large

meals of protein or carbohydrates.

 

=====

 

Milk and dairy

 

" Now we come to one of the most controversial and misunderstood items

in the Western diet.

 

Orientals and Africans have traditionally avoided milk- except as a

purgative. But in the Western world, people are told to

drink milk everyday throughout their lives.

 

If we look at nature, we see that the young feed exclusively on milk

until weaned away from it with other foods. The

natural disappearance of the milk-digesting enzyme lactase from the

human system upon reaching maturity proves that adult

humans have no more nutritional need for milk than adult tigers or

chimpanzees.

 

Though milk is a complete protein food when consumed raw, it also

contains fat, which means that it combines poorly with

any other food except itself. Yet adults today routinely 'wash down'

other foods with cold milk. Milk curdles immediately

upon entering the stomach, so if there is other food present the

curds

coagulate around other food particles and insulate

them from exposure to gastric juices, delaying digestion long enough

to permit the onset of putrefaction. Therefore, the

first and foremost rule of milk consumption is, 'Drink it alone, or

leave it alone.'

 

Today, milk is made even more indigestible by the universal practice

of pasteurization, which destroys its natural enzymes

and alters its delicate proteins.

 

Raw milk contains the active enzymes lactase and lipase, which permit

raw milk to digest itself. Pasteurized milk, which is

devitalized of lactase and other active enzymes, simply can not be

properly digested by adult stomachs, and even infants

have trouble with it, as evidenced by colic, rashes, respiratory

ailments, gas and other common ailments of bottle-fed

babies. The lack of enzymes and alteration of vital proteins also

renders the calcium and other mineral elements in milk

largely unassailable.

 

During the 1930's, Dr. Francis M. Pottenger conducted a 10-year study

on the relative effects of pasteurized and raw milk

diets on 900 cats. One group received nothing but raw whole milk,

while the other was fed nothing but pasteurized whole

milk from the same source.

 

The raw milk group thrived, remaining healthy, active and alert

throughout their lives, but the group fed on pasteurized

milk soon became listless, confused and highly vulnerable to a host

of

chronic degenerative ailments normally associated

with humans, including heart disease, kidney failure, thyroid

dysfunction, respiratory ailments, loss of teeth, brittle

bones, liver inflammation, etc.

 

But what caught Dr. Pottenger's attention most was what happened to

the second and third generations.

 

The first offspring of the pasteurized milk group were all born with

poor teeth and small, weak bones- a clear cut sign of

calcium deficiency, which indicated lack of calcium absorption from

pasteurized milk.

 

The offspring of the raw milk group remained as healthy as their

parents.

 

Many of the kittens in third generation of the pasteurized group were

stillborn, while those that survived were all sterile

and unable to reproduce.

 

The experiment had to end there because there was no fourth

generation

of cats fed on pasteurized milk, although the raw

milk group continued to breed and thrive indefinitely.

 

If that is insufficient proof of the ill effects of pasteurized milk,

take note of the fact even that newborn calves fed on

pasteurized milk taken from their own mother cows usually die within

six months, a fact which the commercial dairy industry

is loathe to admit.

 

Despite such scientific evidence in favor of raw milk and against

pasteurized milk, and despite the fact that until the

early twentieth century the human species thrived on raw milk, it is

actually illegal to sell raw milk to consumers in all

but a few states in America today.

 

It is far more profitable to the dairy industry to pasteurize milk to

extend its shelf-life, though such denatured milk

does nothing whatsoever to extend human life.

 

Furthermore, pasteurization renders milk from sick cows in unsanitary

dairies relatively 'harmless' by killing some, but

not all, dangerous germs, and this too cuts costs for the dairy

industry.

 

It required only three generations for Dr. Pottenger's pasteurized

milk fed cats to become sterile and enfeebled. That's

about how many generations of Americans and Europeans have fed on

pasteurized milk. Today, infertility has become a major

problem for your American couples, while calcium deficiency has

become

so rampant that over 90 percent of all American

children suffer chronic tooth decay.

 

To make things worse, milk is now routinely 'homogenized' to prevent

the cream from separating from the milk. This involves

the fragmentation and pulverization of the fat molecules to the point

that they will not separate from the rest of the milk. But it also

permits there tiny fragments of milk fat to easily pass through the

villa of the small intestine, greatly increasing the amount of

denatured fat and cholesterol absorbed by the body. In fact, you

absorb more milk-fat from homogenized milk than you do from pure

cream!

 

Women worried about osteoporosis should take note of these facts

about

pasteurized milk products. That such denatured milk

does not deliver sufficient calcium to prevent this condition is

abundantly evident from the fact that American women, who

consume great quantities of pasteurized milk products, suffer the

world's highest incidence of osteoporosis.

 

Raw cabbage, for example, supplies far more available calcium than

any

quantity of pasteurized milk, yogurt, cottage

cheese, or any other denatured dairy product.

 

Recent studies at the Human Research Centre in Grand Folks, North

Dakota, indicates that the element boron is also an

essential factor in absorbing calcium from food and utilizing it to

build bones.

 

Even more noteworthy, the level of estrogen in the blood of women

given sufficient quantities of boron more than doubled,

eliminating the need for estrogen replacement therapy, which is a

common stopgap measure against osteoporosis in the West.

And where do we find boron? In fresh fruits and vegetables,

especially

apples, pears, grapes, nuts, cabbage, and other

leafy vegetables, where we also find calcium. Nature has already

provided abundant sources of all the vital nutrients we

need in synergetic form, but man insists on cooking and processing

them to death, and then wonders why his diet doesn't

'work'.

 

Adults should seriously reconsider milk as a constitute of their

daily

diets, unless they are able to obtain raw certified

milk, which is an excellent food.

 

To stuff children with pasteurized milk in order to make them grow

'strong and healthy' is sheer folly, because they simply

cannot assimilate the nutrients.

 

Indeed men, women, and children alike should eliminate all

pasteurized

dairy products from their diets, for these denatured

dairy products only gum up the intestines with layer upon layer of

slimy sludge that interferes with the absorption of

organic nutrients. "

 

THE RULE: Eliminate pasteurized and homogenized milk entirely from

your diet.

 

If raw certified milk is available consume it as a whole food in

itself, not in combination with other foods.

This list isnt from me. This foods list was put together by Joe at the

HEALTHFULLY ORGANIC MARKET. I have different views especially concerning the

consumption of dairy milk which to me is strictly for baby cows. - blessings -

To protect your skin from being dry, you should apply some following methods:

 

 

 

  • Keep baths or showers short.
  • Use warm (not hot) water.
  • Use as little soap as possible. Limit its use to face, armpits, and genitals if you can. Try mild cleansers like Aveeno or Cetaphil or mild soaps like Neutrogena or Dove.
  • Dry your skin thoroughly but gently -- pat, DON'T rub.
  • Take baths or showers less often.

 

Also, increase skin and body moisture:

 

 

  • Use bath oils and moisturizers at least daily. Thick, greasy moisturizers work best. Avoid products with alcohol. Apply just after a bath or shower, when your skin is still damp.
  • Use a humidifier if the air is dry.
  • Drink plenty of water throughout the day.

 

Apply cool compresses to itchy areas, and try over-the-counter cortisone creams or lotions if your skin is inflamed. If this is not enough, talk to your doctor about possible prescription lotions.
