To relieve this cycle it is important to use an emollient cream.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYour dry skin may also be the result of eczema, which is when your natural oils are lacking. When moisture escapes, the skin will dry and crack, allowing bacteria in. This leads to inflammation and itching, most commonly in the creases of your skin, or on your elbows and knees.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdditionally, emollient cream is effective against psoriasis, which is a chronic autoimmune skin condition and is often hereditary. It occurs due to the rapid growth of skin cells, causing plaques to form on the skin, appearing in flaky, scaly and red patches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese can be developed on any part of the body, including the scalp, hands, feet and genitals.
