Soothing itchy skin
Itchy skin can be a major annoyance, whether it stems from an allergy, an irritant or plain old dry skin. Here are the expert's suggestions for managing itchy skin: * Do not scratch; trim your fingernails short to avoid the temptation and help prevent infection. * Sleep in lightweight, loose and cool pajamas. * Soak in a lukewarm bath, and follow up with a rich moisturiser. * Place a cold compress on itchy skin. * Avoid exposing skin to too much heat and humidity, such as a lengthy hot shower. * Consult a skin specialist for medication.
