Why does eczema occur in winter?

When the temperature drops in winter, people's skin regulation function is weakened and people sweat less, making it difficult for the skin's oil protective film to form. Especially in the dry weather in the north, there is less moisture in the air. Clean and walk after taking a shower. Without the oil that protects the skin, it also consumes the body's water, which is more likely to cause symptoms such as skin itching and peeling.

Winter eczema, also known as "winter itch" or "dry eczema", is a common skin disease in winter. Women after menopause are a high-risk group. The most common areas are the front of the calves and around the waist where skin oil secretion is the least. In severe cases, it may cause skin ulcers and skin thickening, so do not be careless.

Winter eczema may also cause related sequelae, especially for diabetics. Small wounds may cause cellulitis, which in severe cases may lead to amputation. In addition, for young children, it may be caused by sleeping while sleeping. It's very itchy, but I can't restrain myself from scratching desperately. As a result, the entire calf is scratched, broken, and bleeding, leaving permanent scars. You should pay attention to precautions and do a good job in eczema care.
