In the silent realms where moisture fades,
A desert blooms upon the skin’s parade.
Xeroderma, the whisper of the dry,
A tale of scales where softness used to lie.

Rough terrain where once was smooth,
A brittle touch that nature can’t soothe.
Flakes like leaves in autumn’s call,
A gentle scratch, and they start to fall.

Itching thoughts, a constant plight,
In the cold, the skin takes flight.
Humidity low, the air steals more,
Leaving behind a parched, cracked shore.

But in the balm of care, relief does live,
Moisture’s gift, the skin can give.
With creams and salves, the healing starts,
A tender touch for fragile parts.

In the balance of nature and care,
Xeroderma finds solace there.
A quiet hope in every layer,
A patient hand, a healer’s prayer.
