Dry skin is often temporary. For example, you might get it only in one season of the year like in summer or winter alone. But it may be a lifelong condition!
Signs and symptoms of dry skin depend on your age, your health, where you live, and your lifestyle. Dry skin is likely to cause one or more of the following symptoms:
- Skin roughness.
- Itching.
- Irritation.
- A feeling of skin discomfort, especially after showering, bathing or swimming.
- Slight to severe flaking.
- Fine lines to cracks.
- Deep cracks that may bleed.
