Dry Skin Treatment in Burbank, CA

Dry skin, often associated with eczema, can occur anywhere on the body. Common symptoms include flaking, itching, and skin cracks. Improving dry skin involves dietary changes, nutritional supplements, and the use of specialized soaps and moisturizers. Our Board Certified Dermatologists offer a comprehensive Skin Care program and guidance on caring for dry skin.

Winter weather can cause redness and irritation, even in Southern California. Using warm weather skincare products during winter can worsen the condition of your skin. To alleviate uncomfortably dry skin, avoid harsh treatments, drying masks, alcohol-based toners, and astringents, as they strip essential oils. Opt for hydrating products that help retain moisture in the skin.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between dry skin and dehydrated skin?

Can diet affect my dry skin?

Yes, a diet rich in healthy fats, such as those found in avocados, nuts, and fish, can help support your skin's natural oil barrier and improve overall hydration.

Is it possible for children to have dry skin?

Yes, children and infants are susceptible to dry skin, often due to conditions like eczema or atopic dermatitis. It's important to use gentle, fragrance-free products designed for sensitive skin.

How can I tell if my dry skin is a symptom of a more serious condition?

Persistent or severe dry skin that doesn't improve with at-home care could be a sign of an underlying medical condition like eczema, psoriasis, or thyroid issues. A dermatologist can provide an accurate diagnosis.
