[Skin Concerns] My fucking skin has been dry for years and nothing helps, and I can't get a derm appointment

Beauty Tips For Body Care
My skin is so fucking dehydrated and red, and at the suggestion of my doctor I've started eating more eggs (vitamin A), carrots, omega 3 and I'm drinking more water while cutting back on cigarettes. Granted, it's only been a week, but my skin almost looks and feels worse in its current state. It's grainy to the touch, dry as the Saharan desert and still very red. And here I thought diet was everything.I went to a doctor to get a derm appointment as suggested by this sub, but the doctor was all like "Derms are for serious skin conditions yada yada yada, you need vitamin A. Eat more eggs blah blah blah."'Seriously, my skin might've looked slightly better that day than it usually does, but it has been dry, itchy, red and fucking grainy like sandpaper to the touch for as long as I can remember.So... A derm isn't going to solve my problems as I'm not getting to see one. Here I am, six years in with shitty skin texture, dehydrated/slightly flaking/red skin that gets irritated by the slightest breeze. I'm sick of it. I just want my skin to have a smooth texture like every fucking person around me. Even my friends with serious acne have softer/smoother skin texture than me. Mine is just so dry and grainy.I've tried EVERYTHING suggested on this sub. AHAs, HA, twenty different moisturizers, vaseline, drinking more water, oils, honey, fish/cod liver oil etc, and while my skin has gotten slightly better over the years, it still looks like reddish, skin-textured sandpaper in daylight and other harsh lights.Seriously, I even stopped washing my face for a month and not even that made it look like normal fucking skin like the skin on my neck, hands and arms.One of these days, I'm going to start clawing at my skin because of how angry it makes me. Seriously, it's starting to piss me off and I'd easily cut my middle finger off to get smooth skin.
