Itching in winter is more common in the elderly, often occurs in dry and cold weather, or is more likely to occur in the limbs, especially in the neck, and can occur all over the body.

Don't take a bath for too long, don't use the bath utensils used for summer bathing, try to use weak alkaline or neutral soap, shower gel, etc., and apply moisturizer to the whole body after bathing, so that it won't itch.

It is estimated that you prefer to be clean, take a bath often Don't take a bath too much, the more you wash, the more itchy it becomes, it is recommended to apply emollient oil to the whole body once a week every night, and it will improve in one to two weeks.

Case review:

Yesterday to the outpatient clinic three old people, sixty or seventy years old, to see the intimate relationship should be many years of old friends, three people together ** queue, not in a hurry, waiting for their turn to see a doctor, three people are not only old friends or patients, are **itching, busy during the day is better, to the night when you are free, scratch the itch, the more you scratch, the itch can not sleep at all.

Check,**Nothing else except dryness,This is typical old age itching,For some young people**Itching is now more common, the cause of **itching is actually very simple, it is a manifestation of physical weakness.

Young people have a strong physique, sufficient qi and blood, and the breath circulation has always been in a state of overflow, so no matter what season it is, there will be no itching. The elderly, people with weak constitution or people with chronic diseases, these people are very sensitive, and they are fine in summer, but in winter, they will have symptoms such as dryness and itching.

In summer, the climate is hot, and the body's qi and blood circulation is relatively faster than in winter, and in winter, because of the principle of thermal expansion and cold contraction, the qi and blood circulation slows down and the metabolism declines.

In order to adapt to such a cold climate, the human body must conserve heat, and the qi and blood will go from the surface of the skin to the deep layer, so as to help resist the cold and keep warm.

Qi and blood are deeply hidden, and there will naturally be a lack of blood on the surface, so in traditional Chinese medicine, blood is not nourishing the skin, and the popular class is that your blood is not enough, and the use of the body has been alarming.

In layman's terms, your ** "collagen" is too little, and the blood in Chinese medicine includes all kinds of visible and shaped nutrients, not just blood.

This is very easy to explain from the perspective of beauty, and the mechanism is exactly the same, if you want to **ruddy and shiny, you have to have enough qi and blood, otherwise no matter how good ** it is.

If you want to solve the itching, the fundamental problem is to solve the qi and blood, one way is to replenish the qi and blood, and the other is to hang the qi and blood, and hang the qi and blood to the cortex.

1. Exercise

Exercise is the best way to lift the qi and blood to the cortex, and with a moderate amount of exercise every day, it is best to make the body sweat a little and make the cortex full of qi and blood.

**Get the nourishment of the blood, the itching will disappear naturally, which is called sweat method in traditional Chinese medicine, and many **diseases can have a good effect through this method.

2. Drugs to nourish blood and relieve itching

In my clinical practice, I like to use astragalus and angelica, which nourish qi and blood, and the "three sons" that dispel wind and relieve itching, have a very good effectThe common recipes are as follows:

Astragalus, Angelica, Ground Skin, Cnidium Monnieri, Fried Xanthus.

This is a daily dose, decoction three times, the first two internal doses, the last time boiled water outside the wash, the effect is very good, here needs to be explained,Xanthella is poisonous, so you must not use it raw, you must use fried it, and the amount cannot be large

I usually use 10 grams as the maximum amount in the outpatient setting. If the itching is not severe, it can also be washed externally without taking it internally, which also has a good effect.

You should drink a little more water, you can apply some moisturizing skin care products on the **, and wear some cotton soft clothes, which may relieve itching.

For the itching in winter, you can first see what the reason is, whether it is because you haven't taken a bath, or because of your own ** disease, or allergies.

You can go and apply some special drugs on the **, so that you can prevent itching and you won't feel uncomfortable.

In such a situation, I think you can apply some chilblain cream, and you should also pay attention to keeping warm at ordinary times, and you must do a good job of ** care at ordinary times, you can apply some moisturizing creams or hand creams.

Supplement enough lipid components to the dry ** and reshape the sebum film on the surface of the **, so that the ** will achieve better protection. In winter, reduce the number of baths, and use less water or soap and other cleaning products on the relatively dry parts of the distal limbs as much as possible.

You can go out every day with moisturizers, such as vitamin emulsion and silicone oil cream, and in addition, you should avoid eating appropriately, eat less seafood, eat less spicy, mutton, and such hot food. There are also clothes and bedding to keep dry and clean as much as possible, close-fitting clothes, and try to wear cotton products, which can play a protective role in the world.

You must first figure out the cause of itching, in fact, most people have itching in winter because it is too dry. Maybe the surface is not obvious, but in fact, yours are already in need of moisture.
