@dr_ingky: Dry, thick, wrinkled skin from eczema? This is known as lichenification, often called “elephant skin.” Why does it happen? Persistent scratching over months or years causes the skin to thicken as a natural defense. How can you manage it? • Apply a thick, fragrance-free moisturizer 2 to 3 times a day • Try wet wraps after applying moisturizer to help lock in moisture • Avoid triggers that can cause eczema flare-ups Lichenification can be difficult to reverse, but its appearance can be reduced.
