9-year-old female presents to the dermatology clinic with persistent rough, dry patches on the upper arms that her mother noticed two years ago. The mother is concerned because the texture resembles “goosebumps” and seems more pronounced in colder weather. Despite using various moisturizers and soaps, there has been no improvement. The mother reports no associated redness, pain, or itching. The child’s medical history is unremarkable, with no known allergies, eczema, or recent illnesses.
