What Is Xerosis?
Xerosis, or dry skin, is a common dermatological condition caused by lack of moisture in the outer skin layer.
It leads to roughness, tightness, itching, and flaking — often aggravated by weather, harsh soaps, or underlying skin conditions.
Common Causes of Xerosis:
-
Cold or dry weather
-
Excessive bathing or harsh cleansers
-
Age-related skin changes
-
Eczema or psoriasis
-
Nutritional deficiencies
-
Dehydration or certain medications
