Why do I have dry skin?
Our skin changes throughout the year, and as we age.
Dry skin can be caused by a variety of environmental factors
such as low humidity, wind, sun exposure, cold temperates and heat.
Symptoms may begin as an isolated light dry area and spread to
encompass the entire body appearing as dry patchy areas, rough or
bumpy skin or flaking and scaling skin. In general, dry skin may go
unnoticed until skin area are lighter in color, sometimes referred to
“ashy” skin. Dry skin may also be a result of side effects of medication
such as Chemotherapy and/or Radiation Therapy.
