Winter season can be very harsh on the skin. Cold air, low humidity, hot showers, and indoor heaters remove the skin’s natural moisture, leading to dryness, itching, cracked lips, eczema flare-ups, and painful cracked heels. These problems are extremely common, yet many people worsen their condition by using the wrong creams or strong steroid medications without medical guidance.
In this video, Dr. Noman Mashhadi explains the complete and safe treatment of winter skin problems, along with trusted and commonly available creams and lotions in Pakistan. This guide is designed to remove confusion and help you choose the right products according to your skin condition.
Dry Skin (Xerosis)
Dry skin is the most common winter complaint. It causes tightness, rough texture, and sometimes white scaling. Dr. Noman explains that the best ingredients for dry skin include Petrolatum, Glycerin, Urea (5–10%), Lactic Acid, and Ceramides. These ingredients help restore the skin barrier and lock in moisture. Well-known moisturizers like petroleum jelly–based creams, ceramide creams, and urea lotions are discussed.
Itching in Winter
Winter itching usually results from dryness, but sometimes mild inflammation is involved. Ingredients like Calamine, low-dose Menthol, and Hydrocortisone 1% can help when used correctly. The video clearly warns against the misuse of strong steroid creams such as Betnovate or Dermovate, which can damage the skin if used without medical advice.
Chapped Lips
Cracked and painful lips worsen when people lick them repeatedly. Dr. Noman recommends lip care products containing Petrolatum, Beeswax, Lanolin, and Vitamin E. Applying a thick layer at night is especially important for healing.
Cracked Heels
Heel fissures can become painful and infected if ignored. The most effective ingredients include Urea (10–25%), Salicylic Acid, and Lactic Acid, which soften thick skin and promote healing. Night-time application with socks is strongly advised.
Eczema & Allergic Skin
For eczema and allergic rashes, emollients are the foundation of treatment. In mild cases, low-potency hydrocortisone may be used briefly. For steroid-sensitive areas or long-term control, Tacrolimus and Pimecrolimus are safer alternatives—but only under a doctor’s supervision, as emphasized in the video.
Golden Winter Skin Rules
The video also covers essential daily habits: short lukewarm showers, frequent moisturizing, cotton clothing, proper hydration, and maintaining indoor humidity.
⚠️ If symptoms worsen, wounds appear, pus forms, or there is no improvement within 7–10 days, do not self-medicate—consult a dermatologist immediately.
