When Does Winter Skin Dryness Become Something More Serious?

Have you ever asked yourself, what does eczema look like, and could I be suffering? Maybe not, but you would be surprised – more than 3 million cases of eczema pop up every year, after all. The winter months can be especially brutal for those suffering.

When does your dry, itchy skin become more than just an annoyance, and stray into the eczema territory? If you’re trying to treat your eczema with over the counter medicines and you’re not having much luck, don’t feel bad! Typical lotions aren’t made for your skin needs – and very often, it isn’t an ‘outside’ issue.  It’s best to see a doctor if you’re not sure what’s going on with your body – especially if you’ve been trying, and failing, to treat the skin yourself.
