Symptoms and Treatments<\/h2>\n

To relieve dry itchy skin, it is necessary to moisturize often. Also, the skin must be protected from harsh detergents, hot water, and the cold winter air, all of which will rob moisture from the skin. Using a humidifier in the home during the cold winter heating months to replace much-needed moisture into the air may be helpful. Not everyone will have the same response to every product. A few products may need to be tried until one is found to work for the patient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
