EXAMPLE SENTENCES

Xerosis of the skin is a common condition among older adults especially during the cold winter months. The ophthalmologist prescribed artificial tears to relieve the symptoms of xerosis in the patients eyes. Severe xerosis can lead to cracking bleeding and increased susceptibility to skin infections. The dermatologist recommended a thick emollient cream to treat the xerosis on the patients lower legs. Xerosis often worsens in low humidity environments where moisture rapidly evaporates from the skin surface.
