Dry Skin Directory
Dry skin is a common skin ailment that often appears on the legs, arms, face, and hands. It can be due to cold temperatures, poor nutrition, genetics, age, or underlying conditions. The most common treatments for dry skin include taking cooler showers or baths, applying lotion, and using moisturizing soaps. If dry skin goes untreated, you could develop dermatitis, which is usually flaky, inflamed, and sometimes itchy skin patches. For severely dry skin, doctors may recommend medications or topical antihistamines, among other remedies.
