Merge Xerosis cutis into xeroderma

Both of these conditions appear to be about skin dryness, and should therefore me merged. Xeroderma seems to be more commonly used, according to a Google search on "Xerosis cutis" versus Xeroderma. Mikael Häggström (talk) 14:45, 8 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with you a 100% Precent considering that they mean the same thing--MarcusPearl95 (talk) 00:43, 24 April 2012 (UTC) i too agree[reply]

This source seems bogus

The site, while apparently maintained by a doctor, is rife with typos and grammar errors. I also question the "prevention" heading which claims that using soap "every other day" will help with xeroderma. On the other hand, I am by no means an expert on any of this... what do you folks think?
