Allergy to cold. When I go outside, my skin heats up, I get pimples and itch a lot. Why and how can I solve this problem? Is there a cream? A treatment?

Hello ma'am!

We would suggest covering your skin: gloves, toque, scarf or neck warmer. Also, a fragrance-free moisturizer, applied before going out and as often as needed, might help. Some examples are Glaxal Base, Cutibase, Cerave and others.

Hopefully you have been helpful, please feel free if you have any other questions!
