Q:
The skin on my body is very dry. It itches all winter. Most
moisturizers don't do the trick. What will keep me from being so itchy?
A:
If you do not have eczema or psoriasis
(chronic skin conditions with rashes and very dry scaly skin), you may have a fluid deficiency that
can cause your skin to be dry. One suggestion is to be sure that you are getting your proper vitamin
intake including vitamin B and E. Vitamin E can also be applied directly to the skin at elbows, knees,
or anywhere that is excessively dry. Avoid spicy foods, alcohol, coffee, and excessive exposure to sun
and wind.
