During the winter season, dryness and dullness of the skin cause irritability and discomfort in some people, while others become affected by itching.
In winter, some people spend thousands of rupees on lotions and creams to protect the body from dryness, however despite this, many individuals still suffer from itching and other related problems.
According to health experts, due to dry air in winter and a lack of moisture in the body, the skin becomes prone to various itching related conditions.
Common winter skin problems include eczema, acne, psoriasis, cracking of lips and heels, extreme dryness of the skin, winter allergies, and generalized itching of the body. These issues usually improve on their own once the winter season ends, but in some individuals the problems persist.
Experts say that eczema, or atopic dermatitis, is a common skin condition during winter, causing itching and inflamed patches. It often affects children, but adolescents and adults can also be affected in different ways.
Similarly, acne is also common in winter and affects the general population, especially girls, and is more frequent among adolescents.
Acne causes pimples, blackheads, and red bumps that can spread quickly, and in some cases it can be painful as well.
According to experts, some people develop psoriasis in winter, while others suffer from cold related allergies, which cause them to constantly feel itching all over the body.
To avoid winter related itching and similar conditions, consultation with a dermatologist is recommended. However, home remedies can also be tried to manage such issues.
People dealing with itching and allergy related problems should use anti allergy medicines, creams, lotions, and traditional remedies as advised by health experts.
