SKIN PROBLEMS

Xerosi cutis

WHAT IT IS

Xerosis is the medical term for dry or very dry skin. It is characterised by a lack of moisture in the skin, particularly when the amount of water in the outermost layer of the skin falls below 20%. The skin appears dry or very dry, rough and tight, and may become flaky, cracked and itchy.

WHAT ARE THE CAUSES

The main cause is dehydration, but a number of other factors can also contribute to this condition: genetic predisposition, very poor diet (water, fruit, vegetables), excessive exposure to the sun, old age, diabetes, excessive or too frequent contact with water, aggressive detergents, cold, dry and windy weather, frequent contact with chemicals, solvents or irritating and aggressive products.

HOW IT MANIFESTS

Symptoms of xerosis are caused by a significant lack of water (dehydration) due to excessive perspiration. They include: flaky skin, cracks and small crevices on the skin, cracked skin, dry, rough and dehydrated skin, itching, pain (in severe cases), skin tension. Itching caused by dry skin can lead to scratching lesions and subsequent infections.
