Can chronically dry skin be a sign of a more serious problem?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, it's possible: You could have ichthyosis, this is not a harmful condition. Additionally a condition like mycosis fungoides- cutaneous lymphoma is possible. I would start with a good moisturizer like cetaphil or cerave and see if that works.
