Your symptoms are consistent with dry skin?related eczema (atopic dermatitis), which often worsens in winter due to loss of skin moisture. Treatment focuses on repairing the skin barrier and reducing inflammation. Regular use of thick moisturizers or emollients is the most important step, along with avoiding hot water, harsh soaps, and scratching. For active itching and redness, doctors commonly prescribe short courses of topical steroids such as Mometasone applied thinly on affected areas, and for maintenance or sensitive skin areas, non-steroid options like Tacrolimus may be used. Keep skin well-hydrated, wear cotton clothing, and avoid irritants. Please consult a dermatologist if symptoms persist, spread, or frequently recur.
