Dry, scaly skin on the lower legs, which may be ichthyosis, is an inherited disease that may manifest itself in childhood. Normal skin shows obvious dryness and pale brown scales, accompanied by itching. If you reach puberty, the symptoms will show significant relief due to increased secretion of sebaceous glands and sweat glands. However, after winter, you will still show obvious symptoms. In the treatment, you can follow the doctor's advice to apply lotion to the calf, because it contains oil, which can effectively alleviate the evaporation of water, so keep the skin moist and relieve the dry feeling. You can also use urea ointment or iso-vitamin A yogurt cream to cooperate with the treatment.
