Winter eczema can be relieved through proper care and, when necessary, medical intervention. It is recommended to start by moisturizing the skin, avoiding irritants, and adjusting lifestyle habits. If the condition persists, consult a doctor.
Specifically, we can start from the following three aspects:
1. Strengthen skin hydration. Dry skin is one of the causes of winter dryness. The bath water temperature should not be too high. Apply a sufficient amount of moisturizer after bathing. Choose a simple moisturizing product and use it several times a day.
2. Reduce external irritants. Wear loose, soft cotton clothing and avoid direct contact between wool and other similar materials and your skin. Use a humidifier to maintain indoor humidity and choose a mild, fragrance-free detergent when washing clothes.
3. Manage symptoms appropriately. If itching is severe, try applying a cold compress to relieve it. Avoid vigorous scratching to prevent skin damage. Pay attention to your daily diet and observe whether there are any foods that aggravate your symptoms.
If redness, swelling, oozing, or itching persists after several days of self-care, it is recommended to consult a dermatologist promptly. The doctor may prescribe topical ointments or other treatment options depending on the specific situation; please follow their professional guidance for further treatment.
