The skin of individuals who suffer from winter eczema itches, and redness and peeling may also occur. The skin is usually dry. The most important thing in treatment is proper care (avoiding a cold environment, washing with lukewarm water, regular application of care ointments). If it is a severe form, local anti-inflammatory drugs are also prescribed for treatment.
