What Causes Dry Patches Of Skin All Over The Body?
I have very dry patches appearing suddenly on my body. My knees, foot, ankle. They don't itch or hurt and are not red. Just very very dry rough patches. Should I be concerned? I live in Florida but haven't been out in the sun much this summer. Thank you!

Hello,
Thanks for the query,
Probably you have developed psoriasis.
Your description matches with that.
Psoriasis cannot be totally cured.
It can be only controlled.
You can use steroid creams to control this.
Please meet a dermatologist for exact diagnosis.
And get the medication prescribed.
Let me know if you have any other doubt.
