Salam bro, its an alergy that most people get when eating too much chicken, either cooked in broasted or in charcoal. is this your first time in saudi arabia? anyway avoid scratching it by your fingers, use a towel. 1st if you can't avoid eating chicken at least once a week, there's lots of option like vegetables or beef. Get an advice to your company clinic for more assistance and before it gets worst. good luck.....

Has it happened after a haircut.. Cause mostly these things happen after the barber has reused and old razor.. If so then a particular cream is available at the pharmacy.. Just show your problem to the pharmacist and he will give you the cream..

I also got dry skin here when i came to jubail.. Started using Nivea Moisturizer.. Some time it is due to dry skin..

Best of all.. Pls. consult a dermatologist.. they know the best..

Try to heal the problem before it grows worse.. !!

All the best !!

Bro no one gets a haircut on their shoulder!

But yes, go to a pharmacy and even show them the problem and tell them the symptoms.聽 They can give you a specific cream.聽 Better yet, go to a dermatologist.

The best thing is to visit a doctor rather than take advice in a forum , especially about treatment, medication etc. Visit any skin specialist and he can treat you better.

It's dry skin and nothing else!

The only reason being that humidity is less in the KSA which leads to your skin drying resulting in itching and maybe scaly skin.

Use a good moisturizer such as SebaMed

Hope this helps!

Simply ..
Forget all reply above...

Just wipe it by fresh Lemon...

Local green lemon from East province "More stronger" will be more helpful and faster, all will be gone with few days.
