Today, an estimated 15 million Americans suffer from the skin disorders that cause dry itchy skin, with another 20+ million suffering from symptoms resembling the same. The severity of this condition can encompass the irregularities listed above but are often as unique as the individual sufferer.
Symptoms can range from mild, with occasional itchy skin, to severe, is characterized by extremely painful ulcers and skin so itchy you scratch wounds into your skin. What’s more, these traumatized skin areas can occur at various locations across the body and no age group is immune.
There are things that you can do to help control itchy and dry skin. These practices encompass diet (as recommended on the GAPS diet), lifestyle change, acknowledging environmental factors, and perhaps most important of all, nutritional supplements.

Itchy skin is an irritation of the upper layers of the skin. This chronic, recurring skin rash that is characterized by swelling, redness, itchiness, and dryness, with possible crusting, flaking, blistering, oozing, and bleeding areas.
Itching occurs episodically in sufferers; meaning that you will have times when your skin health will seem to get worse during periods of “flare-ups,” or exacerbations.
These periods are followed by times when the condition improves, called “remissions.”

|
Atopic
|
This is the most common form of itchy skin. It is normally seen on the face, scalp, inside of elbows, behind the knees, and at times, on the buttocks.
|
Contact
|
This form is of two types: allergic-contact or irritant-contact. The allergic variety is caused by exposure to an allergen such as poison ivy. There is often a delayed reaction.
Exposure to irritants, like chemicals, account for nearly 75% of all reported contact cases. This type of irritation usually subsides when the substance (i.e. irritant) is identified and avoided. An occupational skin disease is a form of irritant-contact dermatitis.
|
Xerotic
|
Also known as “winter itch,” this skin condition is common during the dry, winter months and affects the elderly with the greatest regularity. It often begins as normal dry itchy skin that progressively worsens, actually turning into what is classified as eczema.
|
Seborrheic
|
Or as it is most commonly known as dandruff is a dry or greasy scaling of the scalp and/or eyebrows. This form of itchy skin is manageable.

The exact cause of itchy skin could be related to the health of your gut as described in this article. It’s likely that several factors are at play, so you will need to start becoming a detective and taking note of the external factors that seem to contribute to the itchy skin.
Researchers have identified potential triggers that may make your skin worse and include specific allergens, environmental triggers, food, and other factors such as:
- Soaps, laundry detergents, and perfumes
- Low or high humidity
- Extreme heat or cold
- Highly processed foods, trans-fat rich foods, and foods with high saturated fat content
- Emotional stress
- Allergens such as pollen, pet dander, foods, feathers, and even dust mites.

Conventional approaches vary from person to person and are based on physician recommendation and the patient’s personal preference. Practitioners not specializing in naturopathic techniques will most likely advise the use of medications, topical or otherwise.
These can include anti-inch lotions, topical corticosteroids, immunosuppressants, and antihistamines. As well, newer medicines called topical immunomodulators, or TIMs, are steroid-free ointments that have shown upwards of an 80% success rate. Phototherapy or Photochemotherapies are other popular options.
Less conventional approaches that are often overlooked, but considered critical by many dermatologists, include:
- exercise
- relaxation
- biofeedback training for the mind
- dietary supplementation
These lifestyle factors are thought to be extremely important for lessening the risk and occurrence of eczema “flare-ups.”

Dealing with the skin’s chemistry internally remains paramount for its overall health and subsequent healing capacity. When your skin is irritated, your body is trying to tell you something. Usually, it’s a message to you indicating that something is not as it should be. In persons suffering from itchy/dry skin, this irritation is compounded by a number of additional adverse reactions.
Addressing nutritional concerns, detoxifying the body, and learning certain coping skills are all integral components of a successful skin-healing program. Progressive Health is confident and guarantees the efficacy of Dermatin and its skin-supporting nutrients.

Since the effects of itchy skin have a substantial consequence on your appearance, success with our product can help boost self-confidence. Here are some inspiring testimonials from real customers who have used Dermatin:
|
*"The product worked. It was that simple. You made a skeptical consumer into a confident believer.
I ordered your product after refusing to take my prescription medication from my doctor. He told me there were some side effects and I did not want to deal with that. Since the condition was not terminal, I searched for an alternative. This is when I found your product and I must say that it worked fast. After 30 days of use, there were noticeable improvements. Thank you so much."

*I started using Dermatin because my itching flare-ups were becoming worse and worse. I have tried other products, then threw them out after they failed to work. Dermatin is the only supplement that has improved my skin. I recently ran out of Dermatin, and my current flare-up is worse and is lasting longer than any flare-ups I had while using Dermatin. I am looking forward to the arrival of my new shipment of pills so that I may get my itching under control again.
Thank you, Gordon Fraser Hillsdale, NJ

What is the difference between atopic dermatitis and eczema?
- There is no difference. That is, atopic dermatitis is actually a form of eczema. Atopic dermatitis is also known as "atopic eczema", and some 10 - 20% of the entire World's population suffers from this irritating condition. It remains the most prevalent during infancy and early childhood.
Will my child ever outgrow this condition?
- Unfortunately, there is no definitive answer to this question. The fact remains: it is simply impossible to determine whether or not your child will outgrow his/her eczema.
Eczema develops before age 5 in approximately 9 out of 10 people. Of this percentage, some 40 - 60% of families will see eczema in their children persist beyond puberty and into adulthood. However, there is some encouraging news concerning this condition. If your infant has eczema, the likelihood the condition will improve by age 2 is relatively high.
Additionally, early detection and treatment are critical for long-term condition management. Physicians recommend not waiting for your children to outgrow eczema. This early action will lessen the probability the condition will become worse if it does last into adulthood.
Does nutrition really impact, or influence my eczema that much?
- Certainly; paying attention to what you or your child eats can dramatically reduce the severity of eczema, as well as lessen the occurrence of potential flare-ups. It has been well-established in-study that certain foods actually promote exacerbations of this skin condition.
Foods high in saturated fats and trans-fatty acids can stimulate inflammation of the skin, and include fried foods, full-fat dairy products, meats, and highly processed foods. Conversely, fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and foods high in omega fatty acids may reduce inflammation in persons not sensitive to such sources.
