What should I do if I feel itchy all over in winter

Even though the weather is cold in winter, it’s best for us to take a bath every few days to avoid itchy pimples on our bodies. So what should we do if we feel itchy all over in winter? First of all, you need to observe whether there are red pimples on your skin. If so, you must solve the acne problem and then solve other problems. Next, let us find out what to do if you feel itchy all over in winter?

How can we prevent and improve dry and itchy skin caused by dry and cold weather? In fact, the most important thing for this kind of dry and itchy skin caused by seasonal changes is prevention, because prevention beforehand is often much more effective than treatment afterwards. That is to say, effective measures should be taken in time before symptoms appear to avoid the occurrence of skin problems. The key to preventing dry and itchy skin is to keep the skin moisturized, reduce the loss of water and oil in the stratum corneum, and protect the sebum function. It is suggested that we start from the following aspects:

1) When bathing, you should choose a mild, preferably slightly acidic shower gel, and avoid using alkaline soaps with overly strong cleaning power, because even the most neutral shower gel is alkaline relative to human skin. You should also avoid bathing in water that is too hot. It is best to use water that is similar to body temperature (no more than 40 degrees).

Also, you should reduce the frequency of bathing and shorten the bathing time to avoid excessive loss of water and fat due to heat. Do not scrub hard when taking a bath, because overheated water and vigorous scrubbing will wash away the skin's sebum, keratin and other protective layers, which can easily damage the skin and even cause local inflammation of the skin, making the nerves more excited and aggravating the itching.

2) After showering, apply moisturizing body lotion immediately before the skin is completely dry, especially to particularly dry areas such as the limbs. This can help the skin restore its water and oil balance and form a thin film on the skin to prevent moisture evaporation. Also, because the pores are still slightly open right after a shower, skin care products are easier to absorb and penetrate. After applying skin care lotion, you should put on clothes and socks as soon as possible. This will not only keep you warm but also prevent the epidermis from losing moisture and sebum, helping to enhance the effect of improving dry skin conditions. After the skin is effectively moisturized, dryness and itching can be effectively reduced.

If you feel your skin is dry, you should use lotion at any time to moisturize the dry skin in time. The focus should be on the calves and arms. The front tibia of the calves is the part with the least sebaceous glands in the whole body, so it is most prone to itching and dandruff. The arms are often exposed to the air and are also most prone to dryness.

When we feel itchy all over in winter, we must not take it lightly, because there are many reasons for itchy skin, and some are caused by skin diseases. As we all know, skin disease is a more serious condition, and we must always keep it in mind so that we can work and study better.
