Itchy, dry, rough and inflamed patches all over the body is called Eczema. It can be so itchy that someone with the condition can have trouble sleeping. It is never easy to deal with it and during winter it becomes more worse as the air is dry in winter and makes the skin dry.

For many people eczema flares occur more frequently or get worse in the winter. Dry air combined with indoor heating systems can dry out your skin. It flares because the skin cannot stay moist on its own. Flare-ups can also be caused by wearing too many layers of clothing, taking hot baths, or using too many bed coverings. These are all things you’re more likely to do during the cold winter months.
