DRY SKIN SYMPTOMS:
M.Ali
Dry skin symptoms in people are generally the same. Skin is often
driest on the arms, lower legs, and the sides of the abdomen. Other
areas were dry skin is commonly found are the hands, face, elbows,
and
heels of feet. However, not everybody suffers from these symptoms to
the same degree.
Symptoms vary depending on variables such as:
health
age
geographical location (cold and dry climates producing greater
symptoms)
time spent outdoors.
skin has a rough and dry texture instead of smooth
a loss of plumpness – skin appears shrunken or dehydrated
skin is dull in appearance
after showering, bathing, or swimming the skin feels and looks tight
flaking, scaling, or peeling of the skin is quite common
itchy feeling which is sometimes intense (so intense it may interfere
with proper sleep)
calloused (toughened) skin
normal fine lines or wrinkles in the skin become much more visible
severe redness, inflamed areas, or tenderness in the skin
cracks in skin or deep cuts that may bleed which are signs of
extremely
dry skin.
