eodermdrome

Eodermdrome is a big, long word that means the skin on your body gets really dry, rough, and bumpy. When you get eodermdrome, your skin might feel itchy, and you might see little red bumps or patches that look like fish scales.

Sometimes, eodermdrome happens because you aren't drinking enough water or using lotion on your skin. Other times, it can happen because of a health problem, like an allergy or thyroid disease.

To prevent eodermdrome, you need to make sure you drink lots of water and use lotion to keep your skin nice and hydrated. If you already have eodermdrome, your doctor might give you a special cream or lotion to use that can help treat it.
