Hello everyone:

I am translating a document that contains the words....
------cracked skin---------

to indicate that the skin is so dry it is "cracking" as in the skin of your heels during the summer months if you don't have a pedicure or if you don't apply a moisturizing lotion.

Can't find an appropriate translation for this beyond....piel reseca y partida, etc.

Can someone please help me?

...para indicar que la piel está tan seca y se está partiendo como la piel de tus talones...

I found the word in the dictionary and it means Piel arida.

That I believe it's at most the same that piel seca.

También en un empleo (trabajo): me ocupo de que las máquinas funcionen. Pero no como 'empleo' sinónimo de 'uso'.

@Elaina: yo creo que "piel partida", "piel reseca", "piel agrietada" y (si se desprenden partículas) "piel escamada/descamada" pueden ser traducciones válidas.

"Piel agrietada" se entendería en cualquier lugar, creo.

It's the consequence of the cracked skin.


Si tienes la piel reseca, se cuarteara, mas si eres diabetico.

If you have the arid skin, it will crack someday, then you will need to use a kind suntan lotion.

O sea, emplear una herramienta estaría mal. ¿Solo hay que usarlas?

Debe ser el mar...

@David: I'd say that's a correct translation as well.
