    Glossary Dry Skin

    condition where skin lacks moisture, causing roughness and flakiness

    Dry skin, also known as xeroderma or xerosis, is a condition characterized by a lack of adequate moisture in the outer layer of the skin, leading to a rough, flaky, and sometimes itchy texture. It can be caused by various factors, including environmental conditions, such as cold or dry weather, excessive washing, or underlying health conditions like eczema or psoriasis. Proper hydration, the use of moisturizers, and avoiding harsh soaps can help manage and alleviate the symptoms.
