Winter Skin Dryness and Itching, JoongAng Ilbo Media Coverage_Lee Mi-seok Thema Dermatology Clinic

Hello,

This is Lee Mi-seok Thema Dermatology Clinic.

Director Lee Mi-seok

provided medical consultation

for a JoongAng Ilbo medical column

about skin dryness and itching.

Information was provided about the symptoms of

skin dryness and itching, as well as the side effects of

saunas, which dilate blood vessels,

and excessive scrubbing or overuse of soap.

It was also emphasized that moisturizers should not simply be used in large amounts,

but should be applied in appropriate amounts by area,

and that even if steroid medication is used for severe itching,

using it strongly and for a long time can make the skin thinner,

so it is best to combine it with moisturizers

to help relieve itching.

You can find more detailed information about

skin dryness and itching

through the original article.
