What to do if your skin is dry and itchy? 7 Chinese medicine tips to solve itching

In life, some people are prone to symptoms of itchy skin in autumn and winter. This is because the weather is cold and the climate is dry in autumn and winter. People lose water in their bodies quickly, and the skin is prone to dehydration, which causes dry and itchy skin. At this time, you should pay attention to hydrating your body.

1: Pay attention to strengthening your physical fitness and do appropriate exercise. Do some full body massage before and after putting on and taking off clothes in the morning and evening to promote skin microcirculation and reduce skin dryness.

2: Wear clothes made of natural fabrics. It is best to choose soft cotton and silk fabrics for underwear to increase breathability and not cause allergies after contact with skin.

3: Maintain a balanced diet and do not avoid certain foods. When pruritus occurs, abstain from alcohol and eat less spicy and irritating foods, such as chili peppers, beef, mutton, dog, and goose meat, because warm and dry foods can easily cause inflammation and aggravate the symptoms of itching.

4: Maintain a clean living environment and reduce the stimulation of allergens such as house dust, mites, animal hair, pollen, and fungi.

5: Don't take a bath too often. Use warm water instead of hot water, and take a bath once every three to five days. Avoid using strong alkaline laundry soaps. Choose mild, fragrance-free bath products. Use appropriate amounts and don't rub hard or soak for a long time. It is best to apply moisturizing lotion quickly after bathing.

6: Drink more water to increase the water content in your body. At the same time, place a humidifier in the house to increase the moisture content in the air.

7: After suffering from pruritus, avoid scratching and rubbing vigorously. Try to use topical immunomodulators under the guidance of a doctor, and be cautious when using topical hormonal drugs.

Menstruation is the most serious sign of body dryness and dehydration. We must try our best to avoid such problems. In short, replenishing the body with water starts with various small details.
