The skin on the calves is like snake skin

If the skin on the calves looks like snake skin, it may be due to abnormal keratinization of the stratum corneum caused by seasonal changes, and it is not ruled out that it is related to diseases such as allergic dermatitis. Do not use drugs blindly, go to the hospital for examination, and then receive targeted treatment.

1. Seasonal change: After the winter comes, many people's skin condition begins to deteriorate and is accompanied by dryness, especially when taking off clothes, there is a layer of white dandruff on the legs. This is mainly because in the summer, there is more sweat and oil secretion is vigorous, the skin can remain moist and is not prone to dryness and cracking. After winter, the weather is particularly dry, and the oil secretion of the body gradually decreases. If the water intake in daily life is relatively less, the skin lacks water and oil, and a protective film cannot be formed on the surface, the stratum corneum of the epidermis will peel and crack, and even fall off. Under the guidance of a doctor, urea ointment should be applied topically, and the symptoms will be improved.

2. Ichthyosis: Ichthyosis is mainly caused by excessive metabolism of the skin. A large number of gravel cells accumulate in the stratum corneum of the skin. White-gray dandruff can be seen with the naked eye. The sweat hair cannot grow normally. From the appearance, the skin on the calf is like snake skin. You can use retinoic acid ointment for local application, which can effectively relieve the condition, reduce scales, and improve keratinization.
