As the summer is coming to a close and the winter is itching closer and closer, our skin starts itching too. Winter’s cold blast equals dry, itchy, red, skin caused by the lack of humidity in the air. It’s important to keep your skin moisturized to prevent your skin from chapping or cracking. In addition to applying daily moisturizers to your skin, it’s also important to stay hydrated and to protect your skin with protective clothing from the weather.
Severe cases of chronic dry skin, such as Eczema are also
more likely to flare up during the cold weather season. This chronic dry skin
condition can affect both children and adults alike, but it is very common
amongst children. Symptoms of Eczema
include: dryness, cracking and/or peeling of the skin that cannot be cured by
regular moisturizer, redness and itchiness. Our dermatologists recommend that
if a patient is suffering from any of these symptoms to schedule an appointment
with your dermatologist.
Atlanta Dermatology and Laser Surgery recommends that if a
patient’s Eczema symptoms get to a point where it is unbearable, painful and/or
appears infected that the patient should come see a Dermatologist, immediately.
It’s recommended to see a Dermatologist for Eczema symptoms because if Eczema
is not treated properly it can lead to infection, pain, permanent skin damage
or scarring. Dermatologist can provide patients struggling with Eczema with prescription
lotions and medicine to treat the dry skin condition and can offer advice on
how patients can help maintain and prevent their Eczema.
