These are the relatively cold days in my country like in most countries but we don't get snow in here only chilly weather in the evening and lower than average humidity which in my situation is not good because the imbalances in my body makes my skin more drier and the low humidity from these current days aren't helping.
My skin gets itchy when the weather is cold and dry but right now my lower legs are getting the treatment because they looked like some dried-up rice field and the more I caress them the more they would itch.
My temporary solution when I could not get my mother to get me some hot water in a plastic to serve as my hot compress was I would get two pieces of tissue paper, wet it with my rubbing alcohol which is ethyl-based and I would just rub it on my legs. It would relieve the itch for a while provided that I will not disturb my skin.
A more longer solution was what I said earlier, the hot water (very hot) in the plastic bag is inserted in a thin cotton cloth and then will serve as a hot compress to be applied into itchy parts. I will have to wait for it to get so itchy and then painful and then I would immediately take it off to be applied elsewhere again.
It is a better solution than scratching which is not a very good idea as it would cause skin infections but my hot compress technique works very well and I do it all the time.
During the dry season like these I do get the itchy skin problem but in hot weathers my problem is an icky skin so even in weathers I do not have any rest and I just try again to manage them all just for me to get some comfort.
The winter up here does this to everyone, scratching is so bad. I have battled this for my whole life @cryptopie. Hot showers will dry you out, and alcohol might feel good initially but also will pull moisture out of your skin. Have you tried a lotion/cream, there are some that have Benadryl in them that really works. If this would be ok with any medication that you take....
Have a good morning @cryptopie😀

I hope you're able to get purified mineral water and some sunshine? That's what I think would do you good... Is that at least possible for you to get? Sadly, getting clean, healthy water with minerals isn't always easy or inexpensive...

We drink purified water only here and not from the tap but my drink is always pineapple juice from the can.
It is hard for me to get sunshine especially now after the bathroom was renovated, the way was elevated so it blocked the way to the backyard but I might be able to get some sunshine if I want to with the assistance of my parents.

Yes, I really hope you do, I mean I know it might be hard but I think you should get sun every day if you can... I love pineapples ^^ but I think water might be better for you? What do you think? Are you ever able to walk bare foot or lay on the earth or grass?

It is painful now to walk, I can't make a step without groaning. I am just hoping that cryptos would make a comeback so I will be able to fix this house to make it more "friendly" and safe for me.

I hope so, too :) Your patience and perseverance are so necessary, if only others could be as brave and strong as you, then they might make it out of the fire into salvation, like I believe you will. You inspired me to find a good verse on patience, I'd like to share with you what I found and I hope it means something to you.
"Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; And patience, experience; and experience, hope: And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us. For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly."
—Romans 5:1-6 KJV
