Suggest Remedy For Itchy Body Due To Extremely Dry Skin
I get very dry skin and bad itching on my body mainly in winters especially when I am in internal heating environment or take bath with warm water. I apply dry skin cream after shower and feel better temporarily but itching comes back again. Pls suggest if it any allergic action or skin problem and can I get rid of it. Thank you.

Hi
Your problem is that of an extremely dry skin .
Such a skin type needs extra care especially in winters .
Adequate application of moisturisers and body oils is required to maintain the integrity of the skin .
Using milk based body baths also helps .
