Dry skin in spring may be related to physiological factors such as dry weather and windy spring; it may also be related to diseases such as eczema and psoriasis, and patients can alleviate the condition through general treatment and medication. 1. Physiological factors: patients should avoid frequent bathing or the use of shower gel containing stimulating ingredients, drink more water, reduce sun exposure, clean and replace damp clothes and bed linen in a timely manner, and also use moisturizers under the guidance of a doctor, such as urea cream, Vitamin E cream, etc. for treatment. 2.
