Why is my skin dry?

Dry skin can be caused by a variety of health and environmental factors:

Environmental causes:

  • Changes in weather that lower temperature and humidity

  • Exposure to heat sources like central heating, fireplaces, and heaters

  • Long hot baths or showers

  • Swimming in chlorinated pools

  • Using harsh soaps that strip natural oils from the skin

What is eczema?

Eczema is a chronic skin condition that causes dry, itchy, and uncomfortable skin. While it can be managed with treatment, eczema often lasts a lifetime, though some children may outgrow it. It commonly affects areas like knees, elbows, neck, hands, cheeks, and scalp. The severity varies but can significantly impact daily life if untreated.

What is psoriasis?

Psoriasis causes dry, red, scaly patches on areas like the elbows, knees, and lower back. These patches can be sensitive, itchy, and uncomfortable. The condition often cycles through mild and severe phases, varying greatly between individuals.
