I'm having this intense, painful itching all over my body every winter, especially when I start moving around, like when I'm walking. It feels like I'm being stabbed by a thousand tiny needles, mostly on my upper body and legs. Its crazy painful, but it seems to disappear once I start sweating. Lately, I've noticed these small bump-like things appearing during these itching episodes, but they vanish after a few hours. I'm really curious about what's causing this. Also, I've got this recurring issue with my fingers; they keep getting dry. Vaseline helps for a bit, but the dryness just comes back. Any idea what's going on with that?

Apply moisturizers more frequently throughout the day, especially after washing your hands. Look for creams that contain glycerin, hyaluronic acid, or ceramides. Consider using gentle, hydrating hand soaps and avoid washing your hands with very hot water, as it can dry out the skin. Wear gloves when you're outdoors in cold weather to protect your hands from the elements. Avoid harsh chemicals like cleaning products that can further dry out the skin.

I'm currently taking Evion 400 orally every day and I'm wondering if it's safe to continue this for three months or if there's a recommended duration. Should I maybe take it for 21 days, pause for 10 days, and then start another 21-day cycle? I'm looking for some guidance on this.

I've been dealing with this jock itch kind of skin infection between my thighs for months. It's spreading pretty fast, and I'm really worried. I've been using miconazole clobetasol propionate ointment, and while it seems okay, it's not really curing it. Living in a hostel makes this tough, and I just can't focus on my studies because of it. Can you recommend something better?
