Did you know there’s actually a dermalogical term for not taking care of your hygiene? Dermetitis neglecta is a skin condition that specifically occurs when you don’t take care of your physical hygiene. Basically, without washing your body, the dead skin cells build up so much that they cause dark cornflake-like scales that are hard to remove. While the condition goes away with resuming proper hygiene, ie regular showers, sometimes extra treatment is needed from a doctor.
