Xeroderma literally means “dry skin“. Symptoms most associated with Xeroderma (dry skin) are scaling, which is the visible peeling of the outer skin layer, itching and cracks in the skin. Xeroderma (dry skin) occurs most commonly on the lower legs, arms, the sides of the abdomen and thighs.

Skin consists of loose connective tissue and elastin. Skin also receives less blood flow and lower gland activity. Skin contains the hair follicles, sweat glands, sebaceous glands, apocrine glands and blood vessels.

Serious skin complications, including dry skin, can arise for people with diabetes. The oil glands do not supply enough lubrication to the skin: as a result, the skin becomes dehydrated.

Dry skin could also be a sign of an underactive thyroid. Forced-air furnaces make skin even drier.

Take baths or showers less often. For any skin condition, it’s always better to take a natural approach. Natural treatment should always be the first type of treatment to consider when you want to take the best care of your skin.

Consider taking cod liver oil or fish oil supplements every day. Eat high-fiber snacks like raw nuts, raw seeds, and dried fruit, such as dates, and figs. Good skin is often a reflection of a good digestive system. Fatty acids are particularly important to people with dry skin. Use flaxseed oil or walnut oil in your salad.
