Dryness is only a symptom and can be caused by a variety of factors. Many patients have genetically dry skin especially during cold seasons. Internal organs can also be affected in a few genetic disorders presenting with dry skin. Patients with allergic skin tendencies, including small children can also have dry skin. Elderly persons gradually loose the ability to secrete and maintain normal skin oils and and their skin tends to become dry. Kidney disorders, psoriasis, medications like for blood pressure or acne and certain kinds of cancers can also present with dry skin. In most patients, dry skin is due to simple benign reasons. Working in dry, air conditioned environments aggravates dryness as also using harsh soaps frequently. Any good moisturizer applied several times daily on slightly wet skin helps with dryness but it is best to see your dermatologist for proper diagnosis if your problem persists.
