Dry and rough elbows
Dry and rough elbows are a common problem that often goes unnoticed until the skin starts to become visibly calloused, grayish, cracked, or uncomfortably tight. The skin in this area tends to be thicker, harder, and more prone to peeling, which can cause not only discomfort but also aesthetic concerns.
Causes of dry and rough elbows
The main cause of this condition is the fact that the skin on the elbows is naturally less hydrated and contains fewer sebaceous glands. In combination with mechanical stress – for example, frequent leaning on the elbows – the protective skin barrier is disrupted. The skin reacts by forming a thicker, cornified layer as protection against pressure, but without regular care, the condition quickly worsens.
Other factors that contribute to dry elbows include insufficient drinking, temperature changes, cold and dry air, frequent hot showers or the use of aggressive soaps and detergents. In some cases, dry elbows can be a manifestation of skin diseases such as eczema, psoriasis or ichthyosis. In people with sensitive or atopic skin, this problem occurs more often and requires more targeted care.
The appearance of dry skin
The problem usually is concentrated in the elbow flexion area, while the dryness and thickening can extend to the area around the shoulders or forearms. In more advanced stages, the skin may crack, which is not only painful but also increases the risk of inflammation or infection.
Solution for dry and rough elbows
For effective care of dry and calloused elbows, the ideal solution is Spiridea Keralan – a dermal ointment containing three active ingredients – allantoin, urea and salicylic acid.
Spiridea Keralan is recommended to be applied regularly – preferably in the evening so that the active ingredients have enough time to act. With regular use, the skin becomes softer, more elastic and healthier – without scales, hardness and an unpleasant feeling of dryness. We also recommend applying it to the knees, which show the same symptoms of dry skin as the elbows.
