The clinical characteristic of xerosis is rough or coarse skin. Physiopathologically, the structure of the stratum corneum is modified and abnormalities in keratinization, proliferation, surface lipid, water metabolism and also pH and sebum exist. There are two forms of xerosis: dry skin forms and ichtyosis or ichtyosis-like forms. Xerosis has many etiologies including external aggression, senescence, drugs, infection, atopy, deficiencies, malignant diseases, endocrine affections, eating disorders and renal failure in dialyzed patients. It provokes cutaneous discomfort and unaesthetic appearance that justify appropriate treatment. Treatment is essentially local, symptomatic and must be accompanied by general measures. Many products include moisturizers and emollients (keratolytics: salicylic acid, urea and alpha-hydroxy acid).
