Dry skin.
Dry skin is engendered by arid climate, aging, frequent bathing, oil-depleting soaps and indoor environmental factors. In addition, dry skin can be an important physical finding in hypothyroidism, occult carcinoma, lymphoma and renal or biliary disease. Treatment of dry skin involves restoring water to the epidermis by control of humidity and by removal of aggravating factors. Occlusive topical preparations maintain water in contact with the stratum corneum. Ointments are more occlusive than creams, lotions or gels.

Sunlight and protection of the skin.
Sunburn, wrinkling and malignancies are the frequent results of excessive sun exposure. Photosensitivity and photoallergic or phototoxic reactions are less commonly observed. Sunscreens containing para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA), PABA esters and benzophenones offer substantial protection, allowing even fair-skinned persons to participate freely in outdoor activities. These products are now rated and assigned a sun protection factor (SPF). Their routine use should be encouraged.
