Itchy winter skin is usually improved by rubbing a moisturizer such as urea cream, an antipruritic such as capsaicin, a surface anesthetic such as lidocaine cream, and an immunosuppressant such as tacrolimus.
When patients have itchy skin in winter, they usually need moisturizers such as urea cream, and anti-itching agents such as glycerine lotion, capsaicin and other anti-itching agents, topical pimecrolimus, tacrolimus and other immune preparations, and short-term topical glucocorticosteroid medications such as dexamethasone cream to treat the itchy skin, and surface anesthetic medications such as lidocaine cream to reduce the symptoms can be applied as well.
In addition to topical medications, when patients have itchy skin in winter, they can also apply antihistamines such as loratadine and take vitamin C tablets appropriately for treatment.
If the itching symptoms are secondary to systemic diseases such as diabetes mellitus, uremia, etc., the original disease needs to be actively treated.
When the patient’s winter skin itching is severe, can be under the guidance of the doctor to choose the appropriate drugs for treatment.
