With the onset of winter, various skin problems begin to appear. In winter, when our body produces less of the essential oils of the skin, many people have problems like dull, dry, rough and cracked skin. Even in winter, when the temperature inside and outside the body is not balanced, its effect can be seen on the skin.
What are the skin problems in winter season and what to look out for to avoid such problems?
Skin Problems in winter
Winter rash
In winter, as temperatures drop, so does the moisture content in your skin. Our skin becomes irritated, red, scaly, or itchy in the winter due to the dry and cold air.
Dryness
In winter, the air is cold, rough and the relative humidity decreases. As the amount of water in the skin dries out and the lubricant decreases, the problem of cracking of hands, feet, lips and face appears.
Psoriasis
Another common problem during winter is psoriasis. Psoriasis is a skin disease that causes red, itchy scaly patches, most commonly on the knees, elbows, trunk and scalp. This can be due to the fact that the skin is drier than in winter. If people have this problem in general, they will have problems like dullness and itching like scabs after winter rather than summer.
Allergies to the sun
We all love the sun in winter. We are allergic to the sun when we are exposed to direct sun. To avoid this, we should apply sunscreen cream and go to the sun. When using such creams, it should be used as per the advice of the doctor.

Dandruff also afflicts in winter. We can’t take good care of our body due to cold and it causes disease. Hair loss is also a problem in winter.
