Dry skin diseases can affect some individuals . It could be genetic or acquired due to the contact with certains irritants or allergens. If mild please do soaks in saline and apply vaseline . In more severe forms consult dermatologist to rule out conditions like psoriasis, keratodermas, contact dermatitis etc.
