It is recommended that elderly individuals with itchy skin during winter keep their skin clean and avoid using strongly alkaline bathing products. They should also pay attention to skin moisturization by choosing skincare products containing natural oils. In addition, a light diet is advised, along with increased intake of foods rich in vitamins A and E.

If symptoms persist, patients are advised to seek medical attention promptly.
