Merge Xerosis cutis into xeroderma
Both of these conditions appear to be about skin dryness, and should therefore me merged. Xeroderma seems to be more commonly used, according to a Google search on "Xerosis cutis" versus Xeroderma. Mikael Häggström (talk) 14:45, 8 May 2011 (UTC)

I agree with you a 100% Precent considering that they mean the same thing--MarcusPearl95 (talk) 00:43, 24 April 2012 (UTC) i too agree — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.23.123.67 (talk) 20:48, 25 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Oppose. I was half way in doing the merge, but I stopped when I did some searching and all of the references to Xeroderma were in relation to Xeroderma Pigmentosum. More research needs to be done in the medical literature before a decision is made either way. Alanl (talk) 07:49, 8 October 2012 (UTC)

This source seems bogus
The site, while apparently maintained by a doctor, is rife with typos and grammar errors. I also question the "prevention" heading which claims that using soap "every other day" will help with xeroderma. On the other hand, I am by no means an expert on any of this... what do you folks think?

As of 2013-04-04, the page referenced is no longer indexed at that site. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.81.112.220 (talk) 00:38, 5 April 2013 (UTC)

Mention of the brand Nivea is inappropriate
There seems to be a small advert snuck into the prevention section.

Why is this Article Encouraging the Use of Skin Creams?
I don't know about you, but I have sensitive skin and allergies and have nasty reactions to skin creams, sunscreens, etc. 108.48.94.155 (talk) 20:07, 23 October 2015 (UTC)
