Dr. Wang Xiaoyan
To relieve itchy skin in autumn, you can take the following measures: 1. Maintain skin hydration: The air is dry in autumn, making skin prone to dehydration. Drink adequate water and use moisturizing lotions or body creams to keep the skin hydrated. 2. Reduce frequency of cleansing: Skin oil secretion decreases in autumn; excessive cleaning may worsen dryness. Therefore, reduce bathing frequency and choose gentle cleansers. 3. Maintain a balanced diet: Focus on light and easily digestible foods. Eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, and avoid consuming excessive spicy, greasy foods, and seafood that may trigger symptoms. 4. Avoid allergens: If itching is related to allergies, try to avoid contact with allergens such as willow catkins and pollen.
