What to expect if I have Dry skin  (Outlook/Prognosis)?
Your doctor will perform a physical examination with careful attention to all parts of your skin.
To better understand the cause of the dry skin, your doctor may ask:
When did your dry skin develop or has it always been dry? Are all parts of your body affected? If not, what are the specific locations involved? What seems to make the dryness worse? Does anything make it feel better? What are your bathing habits? Do you have any other symptoms? </s>
