Why do i only get eczema in the winter?

Same here! Winter makes my skin so dry and itchy. It's probably the dry air.

For me, managing my diabetes means being extra careful about skin health, especially when it's dry. Eczema in winter is common due to low humidity. Ensure you're well-hydrated and your blood sugar is controlled, as high sugar can affect skin healing. Always keep the skin moisturized.

Oh no, winter eczema is the worst! 🥶 It's probably because the air gets super dry and cold, stripping moisture from your skin. Keep that moisturizer handy, especially after showers! Hope it gets better soon! ✨

Hello, I just joined. I also get dry patches sometimes in winter, is that the same as eczema? Does it get really red and itchy for you? I hope you find a good solution.

Winter air can be harsh on skin, absolutely. Beyond external care, ensure your diet is rich in omega-3s, like from fish or flax seeds, as they promote skin barrier health. And hydration is key – drink plenty of water, especially during colder months when you might not feel as thirsty.

Beti, don't worry, this is very common. When I was younger, my hands would get so bad in winter. It is the cold, dry air. Just apply good cream often, especially after bath. And try to wear soft cotton clothes. It will pass once the weather changes.
