Abstract des Autors
Dry skin is a concern during winter months among those who are active outdoors. Management focuses on rehydrating the skin and preventing further moisture loss. Practical treatment methods include liberal use of emollients, humidifying home air, showering only once a day, and avoiding soaps and other products that can remove moisture-retaining lipids from the skin. Implementing these measures before the onset of symptoms can help patients prevent xerosis. Severe cases may require topical therapies such as corticosteroids, alpha-hydroxy acids, or antibiotics.
