Yes & I actually just read running the ceiling fan can dry out your skin. It suggested a room humidifier.

Mine is irritated with both. Itch with heat skin burn with cold.

Yes try a small heater Away from u and perhaps another portable one as well blowing cool air around- has anyone heard about a product called
CeraVe-itch relief for pain and itch?? And what about hard water verses soft? Hard water does a number on this irritating sensation skin condition as well sometimes dermatologist or allergist. Have samples for this stock up for now but a container by itself and Canada cost $30 and a pump round circle container sometimes a dermatologist or analogist may also have coupons for this kind of product. Check with them too as well or a doctor. Your general practitioner

I’ve had a row of nodules going down the bottom of my left leg for months! I realized I keep my space heater at work on the floor directly aiming at that part of my leg! I’ve relocated the heater & my spots seem to slowly be clearing up! I’ve also been sporadically using one of my prescription steroid creams. I’m wondering if that heater was drying out that side of my leg & aggravated my condition. It’s no where else on my body but that leg! Praying for remission before shorts season!
