Sorry for the change in subject. But can anyone figure out why a person would get a rash at the start of winter: weeds, fungus, ????

Dust, plants, animals inside more often, dry air inside, cold air outside, very dry skin, and nervous about the holidays.

Depends what kind of rash you're talking about. I've had ring worm on and off for about 15 years. I usually get dry spots in the winter. The spots are about the size of a quarter. I put antifungal cream on them and they go away. My doctor said I get it more in the winter because my skin is drier. I don't know if this is what you're talking about or not. Whatever it is, it probably has something to do with your skin being more dry in the winter.

Sometimes something as silly as dry skin can cause rashes. When the heater is running, it dries up the air, and by default, people's skin too. If using a good cream is not helping, try going to a dermatologist.

The most likely reason is dry skin. The change in the weather takes moisture away from you. Try a good lotion like st. ives on the rash or see a dermatologist.

Dry air honey from the heating system in your home. Try using a body oil all over, right after you step out of the showing. A good lotion will work also. But you may need to do it after every shower/bath to keep the skin from drying out.

I do as soon as the furnace goes on. 99% of the time is just due to dry skin but some people have allergic reactions to mites and things that live in the furnace all year long and get thrown up when it kicks on.

Usually it's from dry air. Try getting more moisture either by a humidifier or by using a mosturizer after showering.

My husband does too. It is exhema brought on by weather changes. You should probably see the doctor to get it properly diagnosed and get on some creams for it. Have a very merry Christmas!

Depending on where you live, the air could be very dry. It happens to me every year.
