Skin disorder - Treatment

How are dry skin disorders treated?

• Drinking more water and showering less can moisturize skin but the best way is to use a moisturizing cream.

• Soap affects the natural lubricating and protective barrier of the skin and so selection of a mild soap is absolutely necessary.
• Lactic acid or glycolic acid creams and lotions can be prescribed to remove scales and keep your skin moist.
• Creams containing urea that moisturize your skin could be prescribed.
• If necessary, corticosteroid ointments are prescribed by the doctors for skin lesions that are red, swollen and painful and caused by autoimmune reactions.
