You must use the appropriate skin care products to care for your sensitive and itchy, sometimes in addition to medication prescribed by the doctor. Applying an anti-itching cream will quickly relieve itching. Which anti-itching ointment should you choose?
Summary
Itching has many different causes, both dermatological and non-dermatological. At the same time, certain factors promote pruritus and itching:
To relieve itching, skin diseases that cause itching such as eczema or psoriasis must be treated with specific products, for example with cortisone creams and emollients.
In cases of non-dermatological pruritus or senile pruritus(pruritus that specifically affects the elderly), it is advisable to apply an anti-itching cream.
Anti-itching creams are effective if they contain one or more active ingredients known for their soothing and anti-pruritic properties. This is for example the case of polidocanol or menthol. As with any medication, clinical studies are done to show that the use of an anti-itching cream results in a significant reduction in itching.
Itchy skin is primarily sensitive skin. For perfect tolerability, anti-pruritus creams must imperatively be hypoallergenic, without perfumes and without harmful or allergenic substances.
The texture of the anti-itching creams is also to be taken into account. A fluid and light texture leaves behind a sensation of freshness, very well appreciated in cases of itching.
In cases of pruritus, apply a daily anti-itching cream. If necessary, plan one or more additional applications throughout the day. Put the anti-itching cream in the refrigerator to accentuate the sensation of freshness on the skin.
