Xerosis, commonly known as dry skin, is a condition characterized by rough, scaly, or flaky skin that often feels tight or itchy. This condition occurs when the skin lacks moisture in its outermost layer, leading to a compromised skin barrier that results in dehydration and irritation. Xerosis can affect any part of the body but is most commonly seen on the arms, hands, lower legs, and face. The causes of xerosis are varied and can include environmental factors, such as cold or dry weather, low humidity, and excessive bathing or use of harsh soaps that strip the skin of its natural oils. Age also plays a significant role, as the skin naturally becomes drier and thinner over time. Certain medical conditions, such as eczema, psoriasis, hypothyroidism, and diabetes, can predispose individuals to dry skin, as can some medications like diuretics and retinoids.
Treatment for xerosis aims to restore the skin's moisture balance and improve its barrier function. The use of emollients and moisturizers is crucial; these products should be applied immediately after bathing while the skin is still damp to help trap moisture. Ingredients such as glycerin, hyaluronic acid, ceramides, and urea can be particularly effective in hydrating and repairing the skin. Avoiding long, hot showers and opting for lukewarm water can prevent further moisture loss. Gentle, fragrance-free cleansers are recommended to avoid irritation. In more severe cases of xerosis, a dermatologist may recommend prescription-strength creams or ointments, which can help reduce inflammation and promote skin healing. Staying hydrated by drinking plenty of water and using a humidifier to add moisture to the air can also help manage and prevent xerosis. By taking these steps, individuals can maintain healthier, more hydrated skin and reduce the discomfort associated with dryness.
