My skin cracks every winter. Is it psoriasis?

Simple dry skin (xerosis) presents with white scales, but without prominent red patches. Psoriasis, on the other hand, is characterized by thick scales on red plaques.

건조한 계절에는 건선 환자도 일반 건조증 환자도 모두 증상이 심해집니다.

  • 건조증: 샤워 후 당김 심함, 다리/팔 위주, 보습제 바르면 즉시 완화
  • 건선: 보습제만으로는 붉은기와 각질이 해결되지 않음, 두피/무릎/팔꿈치 호발
  • 확인: 의심된다면 내원하여 오스피츠 징후(점상 출혈) 등을 확인해야 합니다.
💡 보습 골든타임

욕실 문을 열고 나오는 순간 수분이 날아갑니다. 목욕 후 물기가 약간 남은 상태에서 3분 안에 보습제를 바르세요.
