Why does this happen? This is because the\ncold winter does not enable your body to sweat as much as it does during\nsummer. Thus when your body is not producing enough of natural oils and\nmoisture, it tends to dry and die, therefore causing dry-itchy skin. All you\nneed to do is to keep your skin moisturised all the time during winter by using\npetroleum jelly and coconut oil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Causes of Itchy Skin:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Your skin plays a vital role in protecting\nthe inside organs of your body. Your skin cells are very sensitive to dust and\nvarious other suspicious substances and this can trigger different skin disease\nthat can damage your entire identity. Here are some causes of itchy skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Dry skin<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Acne; and<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Eczema<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Symptoms of Itchy Skin of winter season diseases:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you develop dry skin during winter, apply\nskin moisturizer on it and keep it moisturized. Dry skin can leave your skin\ncracked and never healing. Use petroleum jelly or apply moisturizer on it. This\nis not a big problem for you to consult a doctor. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s just that your body\ncondition is getting adapted to the new season and as a result, dry skin is\nsomething very common among people of all ages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Home Remedies to prevent itching, Dermatologists Recommend:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Bathe with lukewarm, not hot water. Try to limit your bath or shower to just 10 minutes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Always use fragrance-free lotions, soaps and detergents to minimise irritation. Be wary of products labelled unscented, as they might still have chemicals that can irritate your skin.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>As directed by your dermatologist, apply medications before moisturising. Then, apply your moisturiser to all areas of your skin, including those treated with medication.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wear loose-fitting, cotton clothes. Wool and other rough-feeling fabrics can irritate your skin, causing intense itching.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Avoid extreme temperature changes. Maintain a relatively cool, neutral humidity environment in your house. Use a humidifier during winter if you are prone to dry skin and eczema.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reduce stress, as stress can make your itch worse.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Prevention_of_winter_season_diseases\"><\/span>Prevention of winter season diseases:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>During winter, many people are at risk of getting sick due to various winter season diseases.
