Patient's question:
Here's the translation of your text into English, with the line breaks kept as they are:As mom said, my skin was very dry from birth and has always been like that. Dad has dry skin too, but it's not noticeable as a condition. My sister doesn't have it. It's more obvious in me. Please help me, doctor?

Spring and autumn are key periods for care. It is recommended to consume foods rich in vitamin A, such as carrots, butter, sweet potatoes, cod liver oil, green leafy vegetables, and pork liver.
In winter, bathing should not be too frequent, and excessive use of soap should be avoided. After bathing, apply moisturizing oils to protect the skin, reduce scaling, and maintain appropriate moisture and sufficient nutrients. Use an ample amount.
Think about it: after a winter bath, if you don’t apply moisturizer, the skin can easily become dry and itchy. If you stretch the skin further, the itching becomes unbearable. This is still for normal skin, but just due to dryness and lack of hydration, these sensations occur. When the skin is stretched tightly, a larger amount of moisturizer is needed to keep it hydrated and enhance its elasticity. Otherwise, the skin will first develop itching, and then the fibrous tissue and collagen fibers in the subcutaneous tissue will not withstand expansion.
