Asteatotic Eczema treatment in Magdalena Contreras

Asteatotic eczema is a form of skin inflammation that appears when the skin loses its moisture and the natural oils that protect it, becoming dry, cracked and sensitive.

Common causes: It is promoted by environmental dryness, cold, very frequent baths with hot water, the use of harsh soaps and the changes that come with skin over time.

Common symptoms: Dry skin, scaling, redness and a pattern of fine cracks are usually noticed, accompanied by itching, especially on the legs and arms.

Who evaluates it? The dermatologist is the professional suited to examine skin conditions and guide their care. If the dryness and itching become bothersome or persistent, a dermatological consultation allows an appropriate evaluation.
