Solving Pruritus - What Helps Itchy Skin In Elderly People
Itchy skin can be frustrating and isolating for anyone. But for some people, it can feel like a constant cycle of stress and discomfort- especially as we get older. As we age, our skin gets drier — which is to say, less able to fight off bugs and other irritants. This makes itching skin more common than you might expect in the elderly population. In fact, itchy skin, also known as pruritus, is one of the most common skin conditions in aging skin. In addition to factors like dryness, clothing that’s too tight, or friction from exercise causing minor rashes on exposed skin, many elderly people also experience their itchy skin as a result of environmental triggers. These include things like excessive moisture in clothing or bedding, dander (tiny dust particles), or allergens such as pet dander or pollen. If you or someone you care for who struggles with chronic pruritus or frequent bouts of itching around your neck, wrists, ankles and scalp — or any other areas of your body — read on to find out how you can treat it effectively.

If Saturday morning cartoons are to be believed, if you see someone or something licking their lips, they're either thinking about eating something delicious, or they're about to run off of a cliff in chase of a road runner. Thankfully, most of us don't have to worry about falling off of cliffs (hopefully). However, if you are one who regularly licks your lips, either out of habit or because your lips are chapped and dry, you may wind up with something that's no laughing matter: lip licker's dermatitis. Lip licker's dermatitis is an inflammation caused by someone excessively licking their lips. Often, the licking starts as a natural reaction to having dry lips.

It can be pretty uncomfortable and even embarrassing to deal with, especially if you're dealing with bleeding or noticeable redness. Luckily for you, lip licker's dermatitis is common and relatively easy to treat. In this article, we're going to explore all things having to do with lip licker's dermatitis. We'll take you through what it is, why you might be experiencing it, and what to do next to relieve your symptoms and prevent them from happening again. Together we can ...well.. get it licked!
