Planner: Chinese Medical Association Reviewer: Wang Changyuan, Chief Physician, Xuanwu Hospital, Capital Medical University In autumn and winter, the air humidity drops and the climate becomes dry, which causes the skin to lose moisture, become dry and rough, and then cause uncomfortable symptoms such as itching. So, how to prevent skin itching in autumn and winter? 1. Moisturizing skin care: Skin itching is mostly caused by dry skin. It is very important to keep the skin moisturized. Apply moisturizing cream or lotion immediately after bathing to help lock in moisture and reduce skin dryness. 2. Take a bath properly: In winter, the frequency of bathing should not be too high to avoid water loss. In addition, when bathing, be careful not to use strong alkaline bath gel, the water temperature should not be too hot, do not rub the body too much, and remember that the bathing time should not be too long. 3. Appropriate temperature and humidity: Ensure that the temperature in your home is appropriate, not too hot, too cold, or hot and cold. When the indoor air is dry in winter, you can use a humidifier appropriately. Maintain adequate water intake to help replenish moisture from the inside. 4. Diet adjustment: Ensure a healthy and reasonable diet. Do not eat too salty or greasy food, eat more fresh yellow-green vegetables; avoid drinking alcohol, strong tea, coffee, etc., do not eat spicy and irritating food, and keep the bowels open, which can effectively prevent skin itching. 5. Comfortable clothing: Wear loose and comfortable clothes made of cotton or other natural fibers to reduce skin irritation and reduce friction and pressure. When using bedding, it is best to use pure cotton products. 6. Note: If the itching persists or is accompanied by other symptoms, you should seek medical attention in time for professional diagnosis and treatment. At the same time, you should try to avoid scratching the skin to avoid skin damage and secondary infection. |
