-

 Many suffer from dry skin and itching, especially in the winter, so what are the ways to treat dry skin?  Is it possible to prevent it?



Dry skin causes many symptoms, including: itching, roughness in the skin, and the appearance of cracks or crusts in the skin, which is a common condition that may be caused by a disease, but is often caused by environmental factors that remove moisture from the skin, such as: heat, hot water, and chemicals. 


 Learn how to treat dry skin in the following:


 Home remedies for dry skin

 Dry skin treatment aims to stop itching, prevent water loss from the skin, and restore moisture to the skin. It is done with home remedies and natural methods as follows:

 1. Follow home procedures
 Dry skin can be treated by applying the following procedures:


  •  Eat foods rich in antioxidants and omega-3s

 Foods rich in antioxidants, such as cranberries, tomatoes, and carrots, reduce damage from free radicals that cause cell damage and dryness.


 As for foods rich in omega-3, such as: salmon helps the freshness of the skin.


  •  Use the humidifier

 To relieve dryness caused by the use of home heating and humidify the air inside the home.


  •  Adjusting the temperature of the shower water

 This is through the use of warm water instead of hot;  Because hot water may damage the skin and cause severe drying to it.


  •  Moisturize immediately after showering

 Moisturizing the skin with moisturizing creams containing glycerin immediately after bathing helps the skin to retain moisture and prevent future drying.


  •  Avoid skin irritants

 The sudden appearance of symptoms of dry skin may be due to the skin being exposed to some irritants, such as: fabrics that cause drying, or chemically treated water.


  •  wear paws

 Wearing rubber paws that do not contain latex when using household cleaners helps keep hands moist.


  •  Ensure that the house is free of moths

 Exposure to house mites promotes inflammation and irritation of the skin, so floors and carpets should be vacuumed, and bedding should be washed with water at a temperature of more than 54 degrees Celsius at least once a week.


  •  Use moisturizing hand sanitizers

 Most hand sanitizers contain alcohol that dries out the skin, so look for sanitizers that help keep the skin moist.


 2. The use of natural materials
 Dry skin can be treated by using the following natural materials:


  •  Coconut oil: Contains fatty acids that have emollient properties that increase the number of lipids on the surface of the skin, and significantly moisturize the skin.
  •  Honey: It is an ideal treatment for dry skin by applying it directly to the skin, as it contains moisturizing, healing, and anti-inflammatory properties.
  •  Aloe Vera: Aloe vera may help relieve symptoms of dry skin.
  •  Petroleum Jelly: Petroleum Jelly can be used on all parts of the body, as it contains a gentle ingredient on the skin.
  •  Oats: By soaking the body in oat water, oats have anti-inflammatory and anti-redness properties.

 Medication for dry skin

 If home procedures do not succeed in treating dry skin, a specialized doctor should be resorted to to ensure that there is no pathological cause behind the dry skin. Dry skin may be treated through the following medications:


 1. Topical steroid creams

 Among them are mild steroids, such as: Hydrocortisone, which is used on the face, armpits, and groin. It should be noted that long-term use of strong steroids, such as Fluocinonide, may cause skin thinning and the appearance of stretch marks and skin separation.


 2. Antihistamines

 Like cetirizine, it doesn't have a direct effect on itching, but it may help relieve the itching discomfort associated with dry skin.


 3. Antipruritic

 They are oral antihistamines that have a direct effect to eliminate itching, such as: Hydroxyzine (Hydroxyzine) and Diphenhydramine (Diphenhydramine).


 dry skin care

 Continuous care is one of the ways to treat dry skin, which is done in several ways, including:


  •  Apply appropriate sunscreen daily.
  •  Apply moisturizing creams immediately after showering.
  •  Avoid rubbing the skin.
  •  Avoid excessive exposure to air conditioners.
  •  Use shaving gel when shaving.
  •  Take a shower with warm water.
  •  Avoid using creams that contain alcohol.
  •  Avoid direct contact with cleaning materials.
  •  Stay away from sources of fire, such as: fireplaces.
  •  Stay away from clothes that cause itchy skin.
  •  Avoid rubbing the skin vigorously when showering or drying.

 Complications of not taking care of dry skin

 Dry skin is treated through lifestyle changes or home remedies, but a specialist doctor should be resorted to if the following complications arise:


  •  Skin does not improve despite home remedies.
  •  Redness of the skin.
  •  Inability to sleep due to itching and redness.
  •  Wounds or infections caused by itching.
  •  Presence of large patches of flaky skin.
