Scaly skin

Features

Scaly skin is caused by the disturbance of the so-called protective layer of the skin, which is responsible for the balance between the death of old skin cells and the formation of new ones. The causes of scaly skin can be numerous. The protective layer of the skin itself consists of moisture and a lipid film.

The technical term for scaly skin is squama or pityriasis capitis.
