What can I do to control my dry skin?
Dry itchy irritated skin is often synonymous with the onset of autumn. Heaters go on, our baths become warmer, fireplaces and wood stoves get lit, and the air is much drier.

Dry skin is quite prevalent, especially in older people. There are precautions we can take to alleviate this problem.

First, the use of harsh cleansers should be discontinued. We often recommend a mild, oiled soap for our patients called Oilatum.

Taking long, hot baths or showers to ward off the winter chill can aggravate dry skin. Shorter, cooler showers or baths should be replaced during the dry season.Moisturizers should be applied on still damp skin after bathing to "seal" in the moisture. Most patients need only a good, all-purpose, mild moisturizer such as our Hand and Body lotion. Therapeutic moisturizers with glycolic acid added are especially helpful for those with sun-damaged or particularly dry skin.

When the skin is especially itchy, Pro-X lotion is a wonderful combination of both moisturizer and Pramasone, an anti-itch medicine.

When moisturizing, don't forget your nails. Dry brittle, splitting nails are often from dryness of the cuticle area.

Cool air humidifiers can be added in the home and work environment. Humidity in the household should be approximately 30%. Routinely we recommend that patients wear natural fibers such as cotton. When dry skin becomes inflamed, the term eczema or dermatitis is used. Treatment of this usually requires a visit to the doctor and possibly prescription medication.
