Flaky skin:

Then there was the woman reader who suffers from dry, flaky skin in patches on her right side, close to her bra strap, and around the waist area. What could she do to resolve the problem?

Omega-3 and other essential fatty acids (EFAs) could help, as might raw, organic sesame oil, used externally.
