Information on skin problem

There is no specific home remedy that uses hickory nuts to cure any kind of skin problems. The hickory nut, a relative of the pecan nut, is native to North America and is smaller than the pecan. Edible hickory nuts come from only specific species of the hickory tree known as the shagbark and the shellbark hickory trees.


These nuts are usually used in cooking and baking and are more prized for their flavour and taste than the pecan nuts. Hickory nuts are also a source of mono-unsaturated fat and of protein.  

You have not described your symptoms further but if you have dry skin then you should ensure that nuts form a part of your diet because they contain oils that are beneficial for dry skin.


You can also apply oils like peanut oil topically to relieve dry skin. In addition, nuts like Brazil nut are used as an essential ingredient in body and face scrubs. These scrubs clean the pores and get rid of all the dead skin. There are a number of other things that you can do to rehydrate your skin such as keeping your skin properly moisturized using a cream-based moisturizing agent. You should also ensure that you wear loose, cotton clothing so that your skin can breathe
