Let me share to you the skin conditions that also lead to dry, flaky skin:
Psoriasis is an autoimmune disorder that causes raised red patches that itch, crack, or bleed. Sunlight can help reduce psoriatic symptoms. In the winter, most people get less sun, so the psoriasis flares up.
Eczema is a common skin condition characterized by red, swollen, dry and itchy skin. See your doctor if you have a family history of allergies or asthma since this will make you more susceptible to eczema.
Seborrheic dermatitis is a skin condition causes flakiness on the face or dandruff on the scalp.
Are you suffering from any of the three skin conditions above?
