Dry skin Dry skin

Dry skin. DermNet NZ DermNet NZ Ad Authoritative facts about the skin from the New Zealand Dermatological Society Incorporated . Home For patients For doctors Find a dermatologist About Store Contact Site map Search: Home | Dermatitis Dry skin Dry skin is common; as skin loses moisture the surface cracks. The inherited forms of dry skin are known as ‘ ichthyosis ’ (fish-scale skin). There are various kinds of ichthyosis. Dermatologists often call dry skin arising in later life ‘xerosis’, ‘asteatosis’ or ‘acquired ichthyosis’. The dry areas may result in dermatitis, i.e. the skin becomes red and itchy. This may result in a crazy-paving appearance on the lower legs (‘eczema craquelé’), or round patches scattered over the trunk and limbs (a dry form of nummular dermatitis ). Sometimes the dry skin is just itchy, without much of a rash (sometimes known as ‘winter itch’, ‘7th age itch’, or ‘senile pruritus’). Ichthyosis Close-up of ichthyosis Dermatitis from dry skin Causes of dry skin Factors which contribute to dry and cracked skin include: Inherited factors Metabolic factors such as an underactive thyroid gland, or excessive weight loss. Increasing age, resulting in decreased natural lubrication. Cool weather, especially when windy or the humidity is low. Air conditioning, central heating or sitting close to a fire or fan heater. Excessive bathing, showering or swimming, especially in strongly chlorinated hot or cold water. Contact with soap, detergents and solvents. Frictional irritation and chapping. Treatment of dry skin An important aspect of treatment is to identify and tackle any contributing factors (see the list of causes above). Reduce how often you bath or shower, and use lukewarm water. Showers may be better than baths. Replace standard soap with a substitute such as a synthetic detergent cleanser, water-miscible emollient, bath oil, anti-pruritic tar oil, etc. Apply an emollient liberally and often, particularly after bathing, and when itchy. The drier the skin, the thicker this should be, especially on the hands. Treat eczematous patches with a topical steroid for a 5 to 15 day course. These are prescribed by your doctor and should be only applied to the red and itchy areas. Long term control Dry skin is usually a long term and recurring problem, especially in winter. When you notice your skin getting dry, resume your lubricating routine and use a non-soap cleanser. If the itchy dry-skin rash returns, use both the lubricating routine and the prescription steroid cream or ointment.

The average length of timebefore the rash appears is 7 to 14 days, but symptoms can develop anywhere from3 to 31 days after being bitten. The rash usually starts as a small red area and then expands over the course of several days. It may grow to be 1 ft (0.3 m) across. Sometimes the rash clears in the center, so that it looks like a bull's-eye. The rash may be warm to the touch, but it is usually not painful or itchy. Common sites for the rash include the thighs, groin, trunk, armpits, waistline, and behind the knees. The rash is easy to miss if it is in an area you can't see, such as the scalp or buttocks, which are common rash sites in children. You also are more likely to miss ticks that have attached in these areas. Patches of red rash may develop elsewhere as the Lyme disease bacteria circulate through the blood and come to rest in other areas of the skin. The rash usually fades within 3 to 4 weeks even if you are not treated for Lyme disease. (back to top) Credits Author Dana L.
