Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and can understand your concern.

Dry skin conditions are mainly encountered in those who are atopic. The skin has reduced water retention capacity, and thus, there is increased transepidermal water loss. Moreover, the skin of the outer thighs, buttocks, and upper outer arms may also have keratosis pilaris, which appears as rough, conical papules or pimples and is due to keratin plugging of hair follicles.

I would suggest you use a cream containing keratolytic and hygroscopic agents like ammonium lactate, urea, and more, as a moisturizer twice daily. Ammonium lactate is available as a cream by the name of Amylac cream 12 percent.
