With the advent of heat, the dermis becomes irritated and suffers more from multiple factors such as prolonged exposure to the sun, excessive sweating, sand from the beach, chlorine from swimming pools or insect bites which, sometimes, added to the fact of a sensitive and reactive have skin. This irritation can be accompanied by redness, even a rash, swelling, itching or dryness. In addition, skin problems such as atopic skin, dermatitis or psoriasis, misuse of hydroalcoholic gels and allergic reactions to food or textiles are other causes that make the skin itchy to a greater extent, but these are not the only factors that make the itching worse in summer.
Dry skin makes the skin barrier more sensitive to chemical (fabric softeners, bath gels, etc.) or physical (friction, temperature changes) aggressions; stress or vasodilation (due to the rise in temperature associated with the increase in vascular flow) may be other factors that promote the appearance of itchy skin.
