Itchy skin is usually due to dryness. If it’s itchy, it’s easy to think of it as simple dryness or atopic dermatitis, but in many cases, that’s not the case. Even taking a hot shower causes itching. [사진=게티이미지뱅크]As the weather gets drier, my body itches. Scratching, scratching, hands moving here and there. Itchy skin is usually due to dryness. Just applying an appropriate amount of moisturizer can relieve itching. If it is not severe or gets better quickly, there is no need to worry. When itching, it is easy to think of it as simple dryness or atopic dermatitis, but in many cases, this is not the case.
For example, being anxious or living with worry can cause itching. Anxiety and stress worsen atopic dermatitis. Depression can worsen itchiness caused by psoriasis and other conditions, and washing your hands too often due to OCD can also dry out your skin. In addition, let’s look at some reasons that cause itching in your body.
Itching following a hot shower… Limited to lukewarm water for 10-15 minutes.
As the days get colder, I want to wash with hot water. If your whole body is red when you get out of the shower or bath, it means you washed with water that was too hot. Taking a hot shower can dry out and irritate the skin, and in severe cases, the skin may peel off over time. If the water is hot, the oil from the skin is washed away, making the skin even drier.
When washing with hot water, if the severity is severe, keratosis pilaris, which turns the skin into chicken flesh, may occur. When taking a shower, take a short shower with lukewarm water. For sensitive skin, you should try to keep the water temperature lukewarm. A body temperature similar to 40 degrees or lower is good. Limit shower time to 10 to 15 minutes. In dry, cold weather, once a day is sufficient.
Even if the body wash ingredients aren’t right, it’s itchy… Use mild products that suit your skin
The chemicals in soap strip your skin of its natural oils, leaving it dry and rough. Some people are allergic to soap scents or dyes. Also, cleansing products containing alcohol can cause dryness, so be sure to use mild products. Products containing ceramide or hyaluronic acid help moisturize. The same goes for the dish detergent that comes into contact with your hands. Be sure to wear gloves when washing dishes.
The blanket you sleep on is full of bacteria and mold… Wash properly
Bacteria in blankets or clothes that have not been washed properly can cause itching. Rashes can also occur due to bacteria, viruses, mold, allergies, skin diseases, etc. Small red spots that appear and disappear quickly are usually not a cause for concern. If △a rash occurs all over the body, △accompanied by fever, △blisters or wounds occur, or △if pain is felt rather than itchy, visit a hospital.
Even if the hormone level in the blood rises, it still itch… Eczema, etc. need treatment
Elevated hormone levels in the blood can cause itchy skin. As you get closer to giving birth, the skin on your belly stretches and itchiness may occur. If you have eczema, your symptoms often worsen during pregnancy. If you suddenly experience severe itching, especially in the second half of pregnancy, you should consult your doctor.
