Why is it that when the weather is hot in winter, the whole body skin is itchy and red, and there will be a tingling sensation, and the whole body is very uncomfortable. Thank you for your advice.

Skin pruritus refers to a kind of skin disease that itches consciously without primary skin lesions, which is called "itching wind" and "wind itching" in Chinese medicine.

The causes of skin itching are: with the increase of age, the water content of subcutaneous tissue decreases, the elasticity decreases, and the subcutaneous fat glands are not secreted enough, which makes the skin dry and atrophy, exposed to wind, humidity, heat, insects invading the sun or mental stress, emotional excitement, warm clothes, mechanical stimulation, taking spicy, fish and shrimp, alcohol, coffee, strong tea and other hair products, and insufficient intake of manganese-containing food, which leads to itching all over the body.

Folk application of expelling wind and clearing heat, nourishing blood and moistening skin, removing dampness and killing insects has obvious curative effect on this disease.
