The symptoms of xerosis cutis vary depending on the severity and underlying causes but commonly include:
- Dry, Rough Skin: The skin may appear flaky and feel rough to the touch.
- Itchiness: Dry skin often leads to itching, which can exacerbate the condition.
- Cracks and Fissures: Severe dryness can cause deep cracks in the skin, which may bleed.
- Redness and Inflammation: Irritation from dryness can result in redness and inflammation, particularly in severe cases.
