Dry skin
Dry skin is often considered insignificant and can be ignored. However, if the epidermis is too wet or too dry, it may be less able to resist infection, friction, and damage.
Dry skin is a common problem caused by the loss of the skin's natural moisturizers, leading to the loss of water in the epidermis. The environment plays an important role in this waste of water. During the winter and using central heating or air conditioning, the skin easily loses its moisture. Similarly, frequent bathing or use of harsh soaps may increase the risk of dry skin.
Dry skin is often seen on the legs, soles of the feet, and less often on the upper body or hands. The skin may be scaly, may appear dull with gray or white discoloration, or may have raised skin lines. In severe cases, deep cracks, heat, pain, and redness may be witnessed. The presence of rough, uneven or cracked skin indicates the need for intervention.
Dry skin can be classified as mild, moderate or severe. When it is in the mild to moderate stage, it is easily fixed or controlled.

Dry skin care
Dry skin needs proper care just like wet skin. The choice of moisturizer is important. For example, moisturizers that keep moisture in the skin and also smooth the skin surface and reduce friction on the skin surface are more suitable.  
Follow the steps below to take care of dry skin:
1. Cleanse - gently using a mild skin cleanser with a normal pH and a soft cloth.
2. Gently dry the skin. Do not rub.  
3. Moisturize the skin - if necessary, use a suitable cream or lotion after bathing. (The cream or lotion used (Zitan) should be easily absorbed and does not need to be excessively rubbed)   

Pressure ulcers
Pressure ulcers can be painful, but they are treatable and often preventable.
A pressure ulcer, which is also called a bed sore , is an injury caused by continuous pressure on the skin. Pressure ulcers occur when blood flow to the area slows or stops. This causes small sections of tissue to die and form a scar.  
Pressure ulcers usually occur in bony parts of the body. When these bony parts of the body press against a hard surface, damage to the skin can occur. Hard surfaces include beds, chairs, or even medical devices such as braces or splints.
