To this end, remind the public, to develop good habits, master the correct care method, can effectively prevent the occurrence of the following types of winter skin diseases.
A, cracked hands and feet
Cracked hands and feet is a disease of dry skin and linear fissures on the skin of the hands and feet due to various reasons. This disease is a common skin disease, mostly seen in the elderly and women. Because of the frequent mechanical or chemical stimulation, coupled with the cold winter climate, the subcutaneous sweat gland secretion reduced, dry skin, skin keratin thickening, loss of elasticity, so when the hands and feet movement is very easy to occur chaps. In addition, certain skin diseases such as ichthyosis, ringworm, frostbite, etc. can occur under pathological conditions.
Hand and foot cracking can be divided into three degrees according to its depth and scope. First degree: dry skin with cracking, but only up to the epidermis, so there is no bleeding, pain and other symptoms. Second degree: dry skin, fissures from the epidermis deep into the dermis and have mild stinging pain, but does not cause bleeding.

Second, fire-excited red spot
Fire-irritated erythema, also known as heat-irritated erythema, refers to local skin exposure to the hot environment (but no burns), a few hours later flushed or temporary reticular erythema (due to capillary dilation and congestion); if repeatedly exposed to heat sources, the erythema is obviously purple-red or purple-brown reticular erythema (due to venous dilatation) and accompanied by pigmentation, often after healing, pigmentation does not subside for a long time. Commonly seen in the use of electric blankets, local hot compresses with hot water bags, or frequent fire heating, or long-term infrared irradiation of the local, also seen in the stoker, cooks and workers who often carry out high temperature work.

The sebaceous glands of the elderly begin to degenerate, while the sebaceous glands of young children are not yet functional, so they become the main victims of winter dermatitis.
The main reason for the appearance of “lack of seborrheic dermatitis” is because the winter bathing too often, and the use of strong alkaline soap or body wash; or like to use hot water bathing, not knowing that the water temperature is too high, the skin surface capillary expansion, speeding up the evaporation of water on the body surface, more will aggravate the degree of dry skin. In the past, this kind of disease is usually found in the elderly, but in recent years, the proportion of young people suffering from this disease is also gradually increasing.
