Eczema and central heating

Is anyone else's eczema worse at the moment?

Just trying to work out if my flare up and itchy scalp is due to the temperature extremes, ie. freezing outside, hot inside from central heating.

Is driving me a bit bonkers, roll on summer!

Yes, definitely. Always the same in this weather Sad.

And do you get an itchy scalp too? Me and the boys are all scratching, look like we have all got nits (we haven't honest! )
First year it's affected me like this Sad

Not so much on the scalp - DS1 looks like he's got 3rd degree burns on his hands though, they're sooooo sore Sad.

Mine always gets worse in winter - combination, I think, of general illnesses (colds, flu, so body immunity low), cold air outside and hot air inside.

I'm finding massaging my eczema with olive oil then covering with cotton gloves from the chemists (my eczema is on my hands) is reducing my symptoms.
