What Is Crusty Skin?
Crusty skin refers to areas of rough, thickened, or flaky skin. Common symptoms include:
- Rough Texture: Uneven, patchy skin that feels dry or coarse to the touch.
- Flaking: Peeling or shedding of the outer skin layers.
- Irritation: Redness or sensitivity around the affected areas.
This condition often develops on areas exposed to the sun or prone to dehydration.
What Causes Crusty Skin?
Crusty skin can result from various factors, including:
- Sun Damage: Prolonged UV exposure leads to thickened, rough skin and increases the risk of pre-cancerous conditions like actinic keratosis.
- Dehydration: Insufficient moisture in the skin causes flaking and a rough texture.
- Medical Conditions: Actinic keratosis or eczema may contribute to crusty skin. These conditions require prompt medical attention to prevent further complications.
