Personal Development for Smart People Forums - View Single Post - I have a red nose, bad dandruff, and the skin on my ears has issues.

So while greatly increasing my fruit, vegetable, nut and seed intake, eliminating my meat intake, and going almost vegan has provided me with other benefits such as reduced sleep, clearer skin in general(not my nose apparently) and lowered heart rate, I expected more in other areas.

If you saw me you'd see I have a red nose. I am 16, but I expected a healthy diet would at least reduce this problem, but apparently not. The dry skin is not so bad, and usually just happens when I have hot showers. While all my siblings also have dandruff, mine is pretty bad, and again, a healthy diet has done nothing to help it. The same goes for my ears. Inside my ears, I can wipe my finger nail around and end up with a hunk of dead skin on the end of my finger. Behind my ears is the same. Not good

I do not use shampoo or conditioner. These problems existed when I did, and have not changed since stopping 5 months ago.

So I don't know what causes these things. I don't want to use something that I have to keep using over and over or the problems will return. Something I use for a while then never have to worry about again is okay, but I'd rather fix the problem than hide it. Theres obviously a reason why I have a red nose and I'm not sure if it is to do with my age because I've had it for at least a year maybe even 2 years.

What can you suggest to help solve these problems? Has it happened to anyone here before?
