Dry Skin (Xerosis)
Xerosis, commonly known as dry skin, occurs when the skin lacks adequate moisture, leading to roughness, flaking, itching, and sometimes cracking. It can be caused by factors such as cold weather, low humidity, frequent handwashing, aging, or underlying skin conditions. While mild dryness is common, more severe cases can be uncomfortable and may increase the risk of skin irritation or infection. A dermatology visit can help identify the cause and provide personalized treatment, including medical-grade moisturizers, prescription therapies, and guidance on proper skincare to restore the skin barrier and prevent recurrence.
