Hi,
Bloating and burping could be due to acid peptic disease or simple nonulcer dyspepsia.
An upper GI endoscopy may be done to find if there is any ulcer.
A course of PPI along with prokinetics would be helpful.
The dry skin could be due to hypothyroidism which can also cause the above said dyspeptic symptoms. Have a thyroid function test done to rule out hypothyroidism.
