Is eczema worse in winter or summer?

My son struggles terribly in winter because of the dry heaters. I make sure he takes short, lukewarm baths instead of hot ones, and we apply a heavy moisturizing cream immediately after.

For me, summer sweat is the real enemy. Apart from external care, I focus on drinking lots of water and eating cooling foods like cucumber and curd to reduce internal body heat, which helps a lot.

Usually, winter is worse because low humidity strips the skin barrier. But sweat in summer can also irritate the cracks. Just keep a mild moisturizer handy and try not to use very hot water for bathing.

Winter mein toh haalat kharab ho jati hai, haan na. The cold air dry outs the skin so quickly. I have to keep applying cold cream every two hours just to survive the winter itch.

Honestly, both seasons have their own drama. In summer it's the sweat that makes me itch, and in winter my skin turns into a desert. A good fragrance-free lotion is my only savior year-round.
