What should I use to take a bath when my body itches

There are many reasons why your body itches. It may be caused by dryness or skin problems. If it is caused by skin problems, you should go to a professional skin hospital for treatment. After treatment, the doctor will generally prescribe some relevant external medications to clean the body. Do not use shower gel or soap to clean, as this will only aggravate your condition. Next, let’s take a look at how to relieve itching caused by dry skin!

Dry and itchy skin is caused by seasonal changes, lack of water and other reasons, which make the skin thicker and rougher. In the spring, autumn and winter in the north, the body's sebum and water secretion will gradually decrease, and the skin will become very dry, especially for middle-aged and elderly people. Due to the large loss of water, the surface of the skin will appear rougher, and the arms and legs will become dry, flaky and itchy. Unable to tolerate the dryness and itchiness, people will constantly scratch their skin, causing scratches on the skin and in severe cases, developing pruritus.

Other causes of skin itching include diet, heat and other stimulations. The skin will become dry, red and itchy after eating spicy and irritating foods. If you don’t apply some skin care products after taking a hot bath in spring and winter, your skin will also become dry and itchy.

Everyone should pay attention to protecting the skin from moisture loss in spring, autumn and winter every year, and use moisturizing skin care products regularly. Women can use women's hand creams, and children can use children's hand creams. Pay attention to your diet and eat more vegetables, fruits and foods rich in vitamins and fiber.

The elderly should be careful not to take hot baths frequently in spring and winter, and should not eat spicy food, especially peppers and alcohol.

The above are the measures you can take when your skin is dry. No matter what causes the itchy skin, it is best not to scratch it with your hands all the time. Scratching with your hands will aggravate the itching of the skin and may leave scars. If it is dry, you can apply some products that can moisturize the skin to relieve it.
