Most common questions used to investigate

Are you applying a moisturizer before bed?

Have you ever tried with cool, wet compresses?

Are you wearing loose fitting clothing?

Do you drink plenty of water during the day?

Common conclusions

You should start using a lubricating, alcohol-free moisturizer to your skin during the day and before bed. To relieve itching, a moisturizer may be all you need. You should look for Aveeno Anti-Itch Concentrated Lotion, Eucerin Eczema Relief, Vagisil Anti-Itch Sensitive Cream or CeraVe Baby Moisturizing Lotion.

A cold compress, like an ice pack or a cool, wet washcloth, is a frozen or cooled material. You should apply cool, wet compresses to soothe the itch. You need to soften a cold water towel and put it in a plastic bag that is weldable. Then you need to set the bag for about fifteen minutes in the fridge and apply it to the skin before bed. You should avoid using cold compresses for more than twenty minutes at a time.

You should not use sheets or pajamas made from fabrics that can irritate the skin, such as wool or polyester.

Great! You should continue drinking plenty of water because staying hydrated can help reduce dry skin. Bathing regularly is also important for keeping the skin hydrated and preventing infections. You should try medicated baths, which may include colloidal oatmeal, bleach, bran or sodium bicarbonate.

You should keep your skin hydrated, so you should start bathing regularly and start drinking plenty of liquids too.
