It may be that the skin of lower limbs is dry, the skin barrier is damaged, causing itching, and even lipid-deficient eczema. Lipid-deficient eczema is mainly related to skin moisture loss, sebum secretion reduction or dysfunction, which is common in ichthyosis patients or the elderly.
Too many baths or the use of strong alkaline soap, facial cleanser or bath water temperature is too high, which can also cause artificial skin degreasing and lead to lipid-deficient eczema.
Extended data 1, dry climate
In winter, the climate itself is relatively dry, and the air humidity is relatively low. This dry environment will also take away the moisture of the skin. Therefore, if you often feel that the skin is tight and dry, there is even peeling. If you wear more clothes, in addition to dryness, dandruff on your skin will further stimulate your skin and cause itching symptoms.
2. Use alkaline soap
Although alkaline soap has strong cleaning power, it can also remove the sebum film on the skin while removing dirt, making the skin firm and dry. If you rub your skin hard in the bath, it will also aggravate itching. Therefore, you must choose a mild shower gel when washing your skin in winter.
