About Dry Skin Disorder

What is a dry skin disorder?

• When skin is altered or damaged, it leads to dryness of skin.

• Dry skin is a common problem and may occur due to rough weather (dry winters), exposure of skin to water, soaps, gloves, and chemicals.
• The amount of the natural emulsion is influenced by age, cleansing, friction, humidity, temperature and other factors.
• Dry skin, particularly on the forearms, hands, and lower legs, tends to itch and flake (scale).
• Itching can be distracting and distressing.
• Chronic or severe dry skin problems may require a dermatologist's advice.
