DRY SKIN ISSUES
Healthy human skin contains moisture in the form of water. When the amount of water is diminished, our skin becomes dry.
Dry skin is damaged skin; it can be very uncomfortable and possibly very unhealthy. While the damage can be caused by a number of different events; the primary causes are:
- Effects of Diabetes
- Results of a burn
- Results of Laser Therapy
- Results of Radiation Therapy
The primary focus in treating dry skin is finding a truly effective way of returning water to the skin. Permanent cures are rare and often take many months of medication and proper diet. By far, most instances of dry skin are most effectively treated by daily application of a topical moisturizing lotion or cream.
