Xerosis, also referred to as dry skin, affects 30% to 99.1% of people older than 60 years.1,2 Xerosis is usually caused by a lack of epidermal lipids and is the most common cause of pruritus in the older adult.2,3 Pruritus can result in excessive scratching, skin injury, skin tears, wounds, secondary infection, discomfort, and pain and can have a considerable impact on quality of life.3 Although all areas of the body may be generally affected, sites with fewer sebaceous glands, such as the lower legs, forearms, hands, and feet, are more frequently affected.2
