Late autumn dead skin on elbows—should I check my skin condition before scrubbing?

Scheduled branch to visit: Maypure Ilsan Branch

In late autumn, it is easy to focus only on moisturizing the face, but I am wondering how to care for areas like the elbows that fold and experience friction. When my elbows become flaky and look rough, I feel I need to first determine whether it is simply dryness or if there is another skin issue. I am asking because I am unsure whether it is safe to use a body scrub just because dead skin cells are visible.

Should I specifically explain during the consultation that the skin on my elbow feels thick and rough, along with redness or itching? I am also curious if information such as whether it occurs on only one side or is similar on both, and when the changes started, is important. Since the appearance can differ when the arm is bent versus straightened, I would like to know what condition I should take photos of.

I would also like to ask about the criteria for selecting products for at-home care. I am curious if it is acceptable to use facial moisturizers as is, and if there are specific ingredients or textures to check for in body products. I also want to know if applying a thick layer is always helpful, or if I should determine the appropriate method based on my skin condition—specifically, applying thin layers multiple times, given that this area comes into contact with clothing.

Would it be helpful to mention during the consultation my habit of resting my elbows on the desk or the contact of long-sleeved clothing? Rather than simply changing a single product, I would like to know how to reduce repetitive friction. I am also curious if you check the water temperature and body wash I use when showering, as well as my habit of scrubbing. I tend to rub the areas I am most concerned about, so I would like to ask if I should start by being careful about such behaviors.

If there are areas that appear darker, I would like to know if you manage rough skin and pigmentation concerns simultaneously, or if you assess the uncomfortable skin condition first. I don't think it is appropriate to choose exfoliation treatments or pigmentation procedures based solely on appearance. I am also curious if it is possible to visit to inquire about treatment methods only to be told that a medical consultation is necessary first.

I would like to first confirm if the Ilsan branch offers consultations regarding dryness or skin condition in these specific areas. Since this area is not on my face, I wasn't sure which category to book under, so I am leaving this in the "Other Inquiries" section. I would appreciate it if you could guide me in distinguishing between changes that can be monitored with home care and those that require immediate medical attention. Rather than trying to make it smooth in the short term, I want to understand the reason why it keeps becoming rough.
