Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Xerosis is the medical term for dry skin or dry conjunctiva (conjunctival xerosis). It can have many different causes, including general dehydration, atopic dermatitis, Vitamin A deficiency, and diabetes. Treatment is primarily symptomatic. "Xero", meaning dry or dehydrated, "osis" usually referring to a medical disease or disorder. Xeroderma is a very common condition. It happens more often in the winter where the cold air outside and the hot air inside creates a low relative humidity. This causes the skin to lose moisture and it may crack and peel. Bathing or hand washing too frequently, especially if one is using harsh soaps, may also contribute to xeroderma. Xeroderma can also be caused by a deficiency of vitamin A, vitamin D, systemic illness, severe sunburn, or some medication.
