Scaly is a term used to describe an external skin condition in animals and humans, characterized by the presence of small, flaky scales. The scales can be dry and rough in texture and may be accompanied by itching or irritation. Scaly skin can be caused by various factors, including genetics, environmental factors, skin infections, and certain medical conditions such as eczema and psoriasis. Treatment options for scaly skin depend on the underlying cause and may include using moisturizers, avoiding harsh soaps and chemicals, and taking medications prescribed by a doctor. Proper self-care and maintenance can help improve the appearance and health of scaly skin.
