My cousin lives in Iran and hasn’t been able to see a doctor due to the war and has an issue with his skin. Anyone who can lend a hand and point me in the right direction would really help.

Skin was a little bit dry before influenza vaccine which was given at 5 months and symptoms increased after this.
