Dry skin flakiness can be caused by physiological factors, but it can also be caused by pathological factors such as allergic reactions and disruption of the skin barrier. Usually, general treatment and medication can be used to alleviate the problem.
1. Physiological factors: due to the weather, such as the dry climate in the fall and winter seasons, the reduction of moisture in the air will cause skin flaking and dryness. Normally, you should pay attention to the use of moisturizer after bathing, drink more water, eat more fruits with high vitamin content, apply sunscreen, and hydrate and moisturize your skin to alleviate the symptoms of flaky and dry skin.
2. Pathological factors:
(1) Allergic reaction: the patient comes into contact with pollen, dust and mites in the air, resulting in an allergic reaction, causing dry and flaky skin, which can be relieved by taking oral loratadine tablets, cyproheptadine hydrochloride tablets and other medications as prescribed by the doctor.
(2) Damage to the skin barrier: Excessive sun exposure, hot showers, or long-term use of substandard cosmetics, etc. stimulate the skin, resulting in damage to the skin barrier function, leading to dry and flaky skin. Usually, you can follow the doctor’s instructions to apply vitamin E ointment, retinoic acid ointment, etc. to repair the function of the skin stratum corneum, so as to alleviate the symptoms of dry and flaky skin.
If the patient has symptoms of dry skin flaking, it is recommended to go to the hospital in time and actively cooperate with the doctor for treatment.
