Dry Skin

Dry skin is one of the most common skin problems. It is characterized by a rough, scaly, and flaky skin surface. Dry skin problems are especially present in low humidity conditions and is often associated with itching. Very dry skin can eventually crack and bleed. GK Dermatology offers dry skin treatment in Weymouth MA.

What Causes Dry Skin

Dry skin tends to worsen in the cold weather. In fact, it is often reported as a “winter itch”. Environmental factors, such as low humidity, are often to blame. Bathing habits can affect the water content of the superficial layers of the skin and can also contribute to dry skin.

Dry Skin Treatment Options

Dr. Kroumpouzos will take multiple approaches to addressing dry skin concerns. This can include discussing protection, avoidance of external irritants and drying agents, hydration, and exfoliation.

Moisturizers are the most frequently used treatment for common dry skin. Applying a moisturizer as often as necessary during the day will prevent skin from drying. Using a good moisturizer can make a big difference. The moisturizers available at GK Dermatology provide an excellent treatment option.
