Abstract:
Asteatotic dermatitis ( AsD) is a common skin disease characterized by dry skin, itching, erythema, peeling and other skin lesions.It results from the damage in cutaneous barrier related to age, seasonal climate and bathing habits, and presents dysfunction of sebaceous, sweat glands and the increase of transepidermal water loss. The pathogenesis of AsD is not clear. Previous studies mainly focused on the relationship between skin barrier damage and bathing habits, age or gender.Recently, more studies focus on its relationship with other systematic diseases and drugs.This paper reviews etiology and pathogenesis of AsD to provide new ideas for the diagnosis and treatment of AsD.
