Chapped & Cracked Skin
Chapped Skin
Chapped skin usually refers to very small lacerations or breaks in the skin barrier. However these usually do not break the skin to the level of the dermis (where the blood vessels are located). Skin chapping can occur when skin becomes dry, especially during cold/windy weather, or when skin oils are depleted and the barrier function of the skin is compromised.
Cracked Skin
Cracked skin is a more severe development of chapped skin: deeper interruptions of the skin form into fissures or cracks and these can compromise the dermis and include access to blood vessels. This indicates a more marked disruption of skin barrier function, and is usually associated with severely dry skin.
