Whenever I get too cold, like if I'm outside in the winter without a proper coat, my skin starts itching, Its usually on my back and my arms, but sometimes my thighs itch as well. Also, whenever I get too cold, these marks appear on the underside of my left wrist. They're always the same, almost as if the cold makes them visible. Is this normal?

    It might be your skin drying out; cold weather sucks the water out of us. Try using some baby oil (it comes unscented if you don't like the original smell) right after you get out of a shower. If you use it while you're still in the shower, after you've washed, use a tub mat - otherwise you might slip and crack your noggin.

    I think it is because your skin is more sensitive when it is cold. I always find that I have itchy hands when I am cold.
