Winter pruritus, is a common disease in many middle-aged and elderly people in winter, but young people can also appear. Do not underestimate the sudden itching of the skin, pruritus delayed for a long time, will develop into a neurological dysfunctional skin disease. Whenever mood swings, temperature changes, the use of alkaline soap, bathing, clothing friction, or even hints, etc., will be manifested as intense itching. Over time, skin damage such as pigmentary changes, skin hypertrophy, mossiness, cracking, secondary infection, and generalization all over the body may occur. The most common thing is to unconsciously scratch hard, which is actually wrong. The skin itself has a natural barrier, after being scratched the skin is prone to secondary infection, the original itself only itchy without rash, scratched after scratching out the skin damage, secondary infection may be red water, breakout, pouring a rash. In addition, scratching itself will stimulate our skin hyperplasia, promote the release of some inflammatory things, the release will work in the local, so that the skin inflammation, skin thickening, so after scratching the skin is often hypertrophy, rough, more itchy. So avoid scratching the skin. Secondly there are many older people like to use high temperature hot water to scald, which not only can not stop the itching effect, may also aggravate the itching symptoms. This is because the high temperature water will destroy the natural protective layer of the skin surface, making the skin more dry, and the water temperature is too high may cause burns. So what should you do if you have winter itchy skin? First of all, itching can be relieved by local methods such as gently patting or cold compresses that lower the surface temperature of the skin. If there is a lot of oozing, flaking, crusting and other skin lesions, the contaminated clothes and bedding should be replaced in time to keep the skin clean. You can also use anti-infection, anti-itch, and emollient creams for symptomatic treatment, but do not use hormone-containing topical medications at will, and you need to follow the advice of a dermatologist for specific medications. Those with severe itching should go to the dermatology department of the hospital in time and use the medicine under the guidance of the doctor to avoid bringing many adverse reactions. The cream is an important method of winter conditioning, for each different physical winter pruritus patients, through the look, smell, ask, and cut of Chinese medicine, after identification, on the basis of nourishing Yin and nourishing blood, with the wind, heat, dampness, etc., by helping to dispel evil, adjusting the yin and Yang, for the body skin “refueling”, “hydration”, from the body to the skin. “Hydrate”, from the inside to nourish the outside, away from itching. In addition, advocate the elderly to eat more wolfberry, walnuts, Chinese yam, lily of the valley, Agaricus, red dates and other foods that help moisten the skin, itching can naturally be controlled. In terms of diet, eating foods rich in manganese can help prevent and relieve itching, and there are three types of foods to choose from. Tea is known as the “manganese plant”, rich in manganese and easy to be absorbed. Wheat, spinach, cabbage and other foods also contain more manganese, but the absorption rate is low. The manganese in fish and some animal livers and kidneys is easily absorbed by the body, but the amount is low. Therefore, among the foods that supplement the trace element manganese, tea is still the most useful. Finally, I would like to remind all readers to pay attention to moisturizing in winter, not only to protect the skin, but also to prevent itching. In addition, winter bathing should not be too frequent, but also to reduce the use of body wash and soap and other toiletries.
