Xerosis Cutis

Xerosis Cutis, commonly known as dry skin, is a condition characterized by rough, scaly, and itchy skin due to a lack of moisture. It can result from environmental factors, such as cold weather and low humidity, or underlying health conditions like eczema and hypothyroidism. Treatment involves using moisturizers, avoiding harsh soaps, and maintaining proper hydration.
