Hi,

You said you suffer from dry skin..xerosis. There may be discomfort due to dryness of skin. Itchy sensation or burning would be there. Soap might exacerbate the disease, so avoid to apply soap at bath.

You consult dermatologist for firm diagnosis and treatment. Investigations may be done to rule out internal diseases like DM,thyroid dysfunction,renal diseases, blood diseases or other diseases.

Moisturising cream or lotion may be applied. Mild steroid cream may be applied if you have itching. You may take antihistaminics,vitamin A and vitamin E orally to have improvement.

I hope this would be helpful in treatment.

Thanks.
