QUESTION:
Is there anything I can do to prevent my winter rashes and dry skin? Every year I get flaking and itching on my legs that lasts for months!
ANSWER:
I call this lower shin eruption “winter legs,” and I have a wonderful remedy for it! In the colder months, the lower legs lose moisture and begin reacting to everything that touches them: cleansers, clothing, and products in ingredients such as perfumes and preservatives. An easy over the counter solution that I’ve recommended for years is a mixture of 1% hydrocortisone cream (2 oz total) and a 1 pound jar of moisturizer (Cetaphil). Just squeeze the hydrocortisone into the jar and mix it together. Apply after showering and say goodbye to winter legs!
