What to do about itchy skin at night during winter

Itchy skin at night during winter may be caused by dryness. In such cases, it is recommended to keep the skin moisturized by using mild bathing products and nourishing moisturizers. Avoid frequent bathing and excessive washing with hot water to reduce moisture loss from the skin. If itching persists or worsens, consider using antihistamines or topical anti-itch creams. Maintaining appropriate indoor humidity and wearing breathable, soft clothing can also help alleviate symptoms of itchy skin.
