Human who has skin like snake?

i've heard about a person who has skin like that of a snake (i.e. scales). I have not seen picture of that person or read of him/her in detail. Do you know if such person exists? I heard that the person can strip their skin layer every few months or so (like a snake) and the skin layer just rebuilds itself with out any pain.

Reply:Helpful Tips for Adults with Acne


Acne is not a malady-affecting teenagers only. Some women never get over their acne problem. For others, acne may reappear at or after menopause. Usually, the two main factors involved are stress and hormones. Although the acne lesions may not be severe, it is distressing for a woman to discover a cystic pimply lump on her chin, which is a common area, involved. The area of the neck just below the jawbone is another commonly affected location. A common form of acne found in mature women and men, is acne rosacea, which annoyingly manifests itself as a rosy complexion together with acne breakouts.





The best approach to tackling the problem of adult acne is to first, consult your dermatologist. The doctor can prescribe an oral antibiotic, which will often help control the problem. You might also be given topical metronidazole which helps control acne rosacea. Resistant cases of adult acne may require a course of low dose Accutane, a powerful acne medication given only to treat severe and resistant acne.





Secondly, you can help your skin by 1) Avoiding harsh products such as those containing a high percentage of alcohol and drying ingredients. Use only very mild soap. 2) By removing your makeup thoroughly each night using a gentle cleansing lotion. 3) By using only products that are tested to be non-comedogenic (will not clog pores). 4) For those with acne rosacea, by avoiding triggers such as certain foods, alcohol, heat, cold or sun exposure.
