4 skin problems that are common during winters and how you can deal with them

Winters can be exciting and fun but also very challenging. Especially for our beloved skin! From dry skin and chapped lips to more severe cases of ringworms, the list can be excruciatingly troublesome and itchy (quite literally!). Here are some of the common skin problems people face in winter.  

1. Chapped lips

Familiar to everyone, chapped lips are dry and flaky skin of lips. Aside from dry and cold weather, allergic exposure, dehydration, and deficiency of vitamins B, C, zinc, and iron causes chapped skin or lips. Allergic reactions in the body also cause a string of metabolic changes, which cause chapped lips.

The factors mentioned above also cause skin problems like ringworms, eczema, chilblains, cold urticaria, etc. Dehydration and vitamin deficiency are the main culprits for winter rashes. Most of these skin problems worsen during winters due to cold temperatures and low humidity, wreaking havoc on the skin.  

2. Cold Urticaria 

Cold urticaria is the formation of small localized lumps on the skin, often accompanied by redness and itching, in response to cold weather. It is a common skin problem in winter, usually allergic. The cause of Cold Urticaria includes immune molecules such as antibodies, specifically IgE. Like any other skin problem, it is communicable, and proper sanitation and cleanliness are essential.

3. Chilblains 

Idiopathic chilblains are localized inflammation caused in cold but not chilling weather. It is still a poorly recognized skin problem. However, as naturally as it occurs, it spontaneously treats itself. The target parts of this condition are fingers and toes. Yes, that’s right! The extremities. Hence, proper protection and coverage of fingers and toes is critical.

4. Windburns 

The burning sensation on the skin of the face, paired with dryness? You guys are probably nodding your heads in agreement! Yes, windburns. The very skin problem clinging to us right from the moment winter begins! The issue revolves around dry and damaged face skin and other exposed parts. The cold and dry air causes blood vessel dilation, resulting in redness and rashes due to skin irritation.
