Dry Skin (Xeroderma): Examination

A comprehensive clinical examination is the basis for selecting further diagnostic steps:

• General physical examination – including blood pressure, pulse, body weight, height; further:
  • Inspection (viewing) of the entire skin!
    • Skin [skin florescences (skin lesions):
      • Partly scaly, partly excoriated erythema (“excoriated skin redness”) on dry skin.
      • Rough skin
      • Flour-line-like scratch marks]
• Health check

Square brackets [ ] indicate possible pathological (pathological) physical findings.
