Dry skin, also known as xerosis or xeroderma, has many causes, including cold or dry weather, sun damage, harsh  soaps, and overbathing


The first step to treating dry skin is to reduce exposure to irritants. Avoid using strong soaps that strip skin of its natural  oils. In addition, use moisturizing moisturizers. You can also use a humidifier to maintain moisture levels in the air. Another option is to wear a hat and gloves to protect your skin from the elements. Also, if you are experiencing itchy patches, you should use 1% hydrocortisone cream, which will provide relief from itching.

Dry skin can also be a symptom of a more serious health problem. For instance, dry skin may be a sign of hypothyroidism, diabetes, or kidney failure. Some people also experience dry skin as a result of Sjogren's syndrome. These signs should be investigated by a physician to rule out any underlying diseases.

The main cause of dry skin is a lack of moisture in the skin and a deficiency of healthy fats in the top layer of skin. This top layer of skin is normally comprised of dead cells and natural oils that help trap moisture. Without this layer, skin is extremely dry.


Another common cause of dry skin is excessive exposure to heat and sunlight. While these factors are external, there are internal factors that can also contribute to this condition. Some of these factors include age, genetics, and family history. People who have certain thyroid diseases are more likely to experience dry skin. However, even those who don't have thyroid problems may suffer from dry skin.

 

건조증 또는 피부건조증이라고도 하는 건조한 피부에는 춥거나 건조한 날씨, 태양 손상, 거친 비누, 과욕 등 다양한 원인이 있습니다.

 

건성 피부를 치료하는 첫 번째 단계는 자극 물질에 대한 노출을 줄이는 것입니다. 피부에서 천연 오일을 제거하는 강한 비누를 사용하지 마십시오. 또한 보습 보습제를 사용하십시오. 가습기를 사용하여 공기 중의 수분 수준을 유지할 수도 있습니다. 또 다른 옵션은 모자와 장갑을 착용하여 외부 환경으로부터 피부를 보호하는 것입니다. 또한 가려운 패치가 있는 경우 가려움증을 완화하는 1% 히드로코르티손 크림을 사용해야 합니다.

건조한 피부는 또한 더 심각한 건강 문제의 증상일 수 있습니다. 예를 들어, 건조한 피부는 갑상선 기능 저하증, 당뇨병 또는 신부전의 징후일 수 있습니다. 어떤 사람들은 쇼그렌 증후군의 결과로 건조한 피부를 경험하기도 합니다. 이러한 징후는 기저 질환을 배제하기 위해 의사가 조사해야 합니다.

건성 피부의 주요 원인은 피부의 수분 부족과 피부 표층의 건강한 지방 결핍입니다. 이 피부의 최상층은 일반적으로 수분을 가두는 데 도움이 되는 죽은 세포와 천연 오일로 구성되어 있습니다. 이 층이 없으면 피부는 매우 건조합니다.

건조한 피부의 또 다른 일반적인 원인은 열과 햇빛에 과도한 노출입니다. 이러한 요인은 외부적이지만 이 상태에 기여할 수 있는 내부 요인도 있습니다. 이러한 요인 중 일부는 연령, 유전 및 가족력을 ​​포함합니다. 특정 갑상선 질환이 있는 사람들은 건조한 피부를 경험할 가능성이 더 큽니다. 그러나 갑상선 문제가 없는 사람들도 건조한 피부로 고통받을 수 있습니다.
