What should I do if the skin on the front of my calves is itchy?

Skin disease is a disease with a particularly high incidence rate. Skin disease can generally affect people all over the body, especially the sensitive skin areas. For example, the skin on the chest and legs is most susceptible to disease, so people need to pay great attention to the safety of this part of the skin. The calves are also a high-incidence area for skin diseases. Let’s take a look at what to do if the skin on the front of the calves is itchy?

Finding the cause of the disease and avoiding the inducing factors are the key to prevention and treatment. Avoid using scratching, rubbing, and hot water to relieve itching. Live a regular life, wear loose clothes, and don't bathe too often. Avoid drinking alcohol, strong tea, and spicy foods such as chili, pepper, and mustard. Patients who are mentally stressed and emotionally disturbed should pay attention to rest and appropriately change their unhealthy living environment.

There are probably only two reasons for itchy skin. One is that there is a skin problem, such as ringworm, which requires medication and seeing a doctor. The second is itching caused by excessively dry skin. The main phenomenon is the production of tiny dry flakes, and small red spots after scratching.

If it is the latter, it is recommended to reduce the number of bathing in spring, autumn and winter, 1-2 times a week, and then control the water temperature (not exceeding 40 degrees) to a temperature similar to that of the human body, and reduce the number of exfoliation times. Because these three seasons are inherently dry, bathing will take away a lot of water from the body, so reducing the number of baths appropriately will be helpful. When choosing daily cleansing products, be sure not to use deep cleansing products, as they will take away excessive oil and moisture from the skin, easily causing water and oil imbalance. Even if you choose deep cleansing products, you only need to use them once a week, otherwise it will make your skin worse. The second thing is to apply water and lotion in time after cleansing and bathing to lock in the moisture of the skin. You can apply it repeatedly on dry areas.

You can place a humidifier at home or in the office to reduce the evaporation of skin moisture caused by dry air. It is best to choose pure cotton underwear that is slightly loose and breathable. In daily life, you should drink more water, eat more vegetables and fruits, avoid spicy food, rest on time, reduce staying up late, and ensure sleep quality.
