Do you have dry skin that is worrying you? You are not alone. A study conducted among 48,630 German employees showed that 14,300 (about 30%) had dry skin.

This proportion was expected to be higher if the participants were selected at random among the general population.

Your skin’s soft and supple appearance reflects its intrinsic water and oil content.

Dry skin occurs when the topmost layer of the skin, the epidermis (and for that matter the stratum corneum) with altered lipid components, has lost its ability to retain this moisture.

It is a common and worrying condition and a sign of many diseases.

Everyone can experience dry skin condition at any point in time.

But it is very common among the following groups of persons;

• the elderly
• postmenopausal women
• individuals whose jobs require them to frequently wash their hands with soaps or detergents such as nurses, hairstylists, and professional swimmers
• people in construction and metal processing trade

Its cause ranges from internal factors such as age, family history, underlying diseases, and stress, to external environmental factors e.g. too frequent bathing, medications, pollution, detergents and low atmospheric humidity.

Failing to treat your dry skin condition can expose you to the following;

• eczematous dermatitis
• lichen simplex chronicus (LSC)
• prurigo nodule
• cellulitis
• skin discoloration
• and secondary bacterial infections (redness, swelling, and pus) of the scratched sites which may require expensive antibiotic treatment.
