Dry Skin eczema
There is a lack luster appearance to the skin and looks and feels scaly. This dryness occurs even in areas of skin not involved directly with active eczema.
The skin of eczema is able to provide an adequate “waterproof” so that there is a greater evaporation from the surface of the skin that leads to dry it further. The dry skin is more easily irritated. Some bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus can colonize the skin surface. It is believed that a protein in the wall of these bacteria may increase the itching.
