[China Pharmaceutical Network Health Health] The winter is coming, I thought that taking a hot bath can drive out the air-conditioning, but also a relaxed and happy mood, but I did not expect that the skin will wash more and more itchy, why is this? Guangdong Province skin disease Yang Bin, the dean of the hospital and the chief physician, said that the more itchy in the winter bath, the more common causes are caused by the following reasons:

The three "killers" cause the winter bath to wash more and more itchy
1 weather dry water reduction
In the winter, the air becomes dry and cold, the sweat glands and skin shrink, the water content in the skin is reduced, and the amount of sebum secreted by sweat and sebaceous glands secreted by sweat glands is reduced, and the skin itself is prone to itching in winter.
2 bathing frequency
Some people usually take a bath every day and gradually become a habit. When the weather gets cold, they are still used to washing every day. Especially the elderly are slow in metabolism, and the secretion of skin oil will be less. If you still take a bath every day, the oil film and cuticle on the skin surface. The lipids in the lipids are more easily removed, and it is more likely to be comfortable when washing, but it will be more itchy afterwards, which is easy to viciously cycle.
3 bath water temperature is too high
Because it is more comfortable to use a little hot water when bathing in the cold, people are used to washing a little cold water in the summer. The cold weather likes to wash the hot water. The bathing time will be longer than usual, so the degree of itching of the skin will be aggravated.
This wash can be away from the skin itching
Yang Bin suggested that the elderly should pay attention to the following techniques when taking a bath, which can reduce the dry itching of the skin:
1 The water temperature should not exceed 35 °C when taking a bath. Avoid excessive water temperature, damage the oil on the surface of the skin, bath time should not be too long, shower for about 5 minutes.
2 bathing does not have to be washed every day, sweating less in winter, the frequency of bathing should not be the same as in summer, it can be changed to two or three times a week. Do not use alkaline soap or other detergents when taking a bath. Apply a moisturizing shower gel to reduce damage to the stratum corneum.
3 After washing, you can use a skin cream, such as skin cream or glycerin in time to avoid the evaporation of the epidermis, so as to prevent the occurrence of dry pruritus and avoid the use of hormone-containing topical drugs after itching.
How to prevent clothing, food and shelter?

Eat: stay away from hot pot and wine
The colder the weather, the more people prefer the hot pot, and it is completely unknown that it is easy to induce itching. Huang Qihui suggested that people with easy skin itching should eat less irritating food, especially hot pot and wine, and eat less spicy food such as beef and mutton, onions and garlic. Eat more foods rich in vitamin A, such as lean meat, animal liver, carrots, etc., drink plenty of water to replenish moisture and moisturize the skin.

Wear: preferred cotton clothes
The best way to keep your skin dry is to choose a cotton material. Pure cotton clothes can absorb excess sweat and moisture on the skin surface in time to keep the skin dry and breathable. Underwear should try to wear natural fabrics, such as cotton, silk and other products to reduce skin irritation.

Live: increase room humidity
When the weather is dry, use a humidifier to increase the humidity of the room, or put a basin of water in the room while sleeping at night, which can also increase the humidity of the air, while minimizing the use time of the electric blanket.
How does Chinese medicine prevent skin itching?
Huang Qihui, deputy director of the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine at Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University, believes that the number of patients with pruritus in winter is increasing, and there are many patients seeking medical treatment in traditional Chinese medicine. Chinese medicine believes that "all itches belong to the wind" and "all itches are virtual." The "wind" in front refers to rheumatic fever, which is true; the "virtual" in the back refers to insufficient blood and is virtual. Therefore, in normal times, you can supplement your kidneys to prevent dry skin.
