What should I do if my skin is cracked?

When skin develops cracks, keep the skin clean and avoid using irritating chemicals. Use a gentle moisturizer, such as products containing hyaluronic acid or glycerin, to effectively lock in moisture and relieve dryness. Increase intake of foods rich in vitamin A, such as carrots, butter, and sweet potatoes, which can help improve dry skin. Avoid consuming spicy foods, seafood, alcohol, and other irritants that may worsen itching. If symptoms persist, consult a healthcare professional.
