"My skin is dry."

Translation: Min hud är torr.

So in this case you use a personal pronoun for a body part. How do you decide when to use one and when not to?

I saw that. Thanks.

As I wrote in the post, there are still many cases when you do. I can’t say specifically why you use a possessive pronoun here, but you might as well say Jag är torr om huden (smth like ’I am dry of/about/around the skin’)

I would actually say "torr i huden" but I'm sure both works.

What about "Huden min är torr"?
