Winter itch is sometimes referred to as winter eczema, asteototic eczema and eczema craquele.
When the temperature drops, the clear, cold days of winter can dry out your skin’s natural barrier, creating dry, itchy, and irritated skin. For some dryness is so severe that the skin becomes cracked and inflamed. These conditions can also worsen the symptoms of eczema.

Hi, greetings, if its just due to itching you could try some of the thicker lotions which are free of fragrance and parabens to avoid allergies. This would help. If you have any lesions / redness/ rash -then its ideal that you see a qualified dermatologist near you. Warm regards, Dr Govind S Mittal, Therapeia Skin hair and ENT centre, Bengaluru.
