Understand The Causes Of Dry
Skin and How To Successfully Fight It.
What is Xerotic Eczema?
Dry skin is called xerosis, or xerotic eczema.
This is a term derived from a Greek word ("xeros") meaning
"dry." It should not be confused in name with "psoriasis"
(another, more serious disease), or "cirrhosis" (a disease of
the liver)
What
is Xerosis?
Everyone has a natural oil coating over our skin
that is produced by oil glands. If this oil is removed, then
the skin becomes dry which can lead to cracking, which can
lead to inflammation. Xerosis is usually a long-term problem
that recurs often, especially in the winter. Cold winter
weather can be hard on skin because the amount of moisture is
less than the amount of moisture in warm air.
Who
gets Xerosis?
Xerosis / Dry skin can affect anyone, male of female of
any ages.
What
causes it?
Dry skin is caused by a lack of moisture. This is
most common during the winter months, when heating systems dry
the air. Bathing with hot water, spending extended periods of
time in the hot sun, and the skin's natural aging process also
remove moisture and oils from the skin.
What are the
symptoms?
The symptoms of dry skin include itching,
flaking, and fine lines. Xerosis of the foot is common in
patients with diabetes and can lead to severe complications,
such as ulcers, infections, and cracks in the skin (fissures).
