Many allergic skin conditions, such as atopic dermatitis, can get much worse in the wintertime. Most people love taking extremely hot showers when it’s cold outdoors, which tends to dry out the skin. In addition, when the air is cold and dry outside, and warm and dry inside, the skin tends to lose moisture through evaporation into the air. Dryness worsens eczema, and even people without underlying skin conditions find themselves with dry, itchy skin. Find out more about allergic skin conditions and how to avoid the winter itch:
