What to do if your skin is dry and itchy in autumn and winter

With the arrival of autumn, I believe winter will not be too far away from us. But generally in the autumn and winter seasons, we will also bring many skin problems. In particular, the problem of dry and itchy skin has always been a concern for everyone. So what should we do if our skin becomes dry and itchy in autumn and winter? What are the main causes of dry and itchy skin in autumn and winter? Let's find out together.

1. Stop excessive scratching

When the skin is itchy, you will have the urge to scratch it. It is unrealistic not to scratch at all, but excessive scratching will aggravate the skin disease. However, some people, just for the sake of temporary relief, scratch the itchy skin vigorously until it bleeds. As a result, the more they scratch, the more itchy it becomes, and the more itchy it becomes, the more they scratch, forming a vicious cycle. In fact, excessive scratching can aggravate many skin diseases. Therefore, you must control your hands and avoid scratching as much as possible. When itching is severe, you can take medicine or apply medicine to relieve itching in time.

2. Avoid washing with hot water

Some people use hot water to wash the rash for the sake of momentary relief. Although this can relieve the itching temporarily, it will aggravate the itching afterwards, especially for dermatitis such as acute eczema. Hot water washing can increase the permeability of capillaries, promote the release of a large amount of allergic substances, lead to increased exudation and erosion, and worsen the condition. Therefore, even Chinese medicine fumigation and washing is not suitable for patients with acute eczema and dermatitis.

3. Avoid eating irregularly

Some people may develop allergic skin diseases such as eczema and urticaria, or have their symptoms aggravated, by eating seafood, dog meat, beef, mutton, fish, shrimp, crab, silkworm pupae and various irritating foods, such as chili peppers, peppercorns, garlic, cinnamon, leeks, etc. Therefore, for people with allergies, the diet should be light, and they can eat some fruits appropriately to supplement multiple vitamins.

The above describes the causes of dry and itchy skin in autumn and winter and how to deal with it. I believe everyone understands it. In addition to the solutions mentioned above, do not slack off in taking care of your skin in normal times. Long-term skin care is the main reason why skin problems do not occur in autumn and winter. The best way is to drink water.
