For those who suffer from it, dry & itchy skin patches can be absolutely miserable.

With endless creams, and itching, and creams, and itching, and creams…and more itching…

The soul of the skin sufferer has definitely been tried.

Here are the homeopathic remedies traditionally associated with dry & itchy skin patches:


1. Sulphur

For dry & itchy skin patches, those associated with Sulphur may have flare ups associated with their dairy intake. They may find their dry & itchy skin is worse in the summer, it can feel very rough, dry, and extremely itchy. This type of dry & itchy skin sufferer may also have above average intelligence, with a propensity towards being messy and a dislike of eating eggs.

2. Graphites

Okay, check behind your ears. We don’t often check behind our ears, and those with dry & itchy skin who need Graphites may just have some patches of it behind their ears. This type can also have issues with dry & itchy skin around their mouth, and in their elbow and knee joints. They may also have an array of issues with their fingernails and toe nails. There may be some issues concentrating.

3. Dulcamara

Maybe your dry & itchy skin is worse during cold and damp weather. If so, it could be the type that would benefit most from Dulcamara. This type also often has thick yellow scabs from excess pus formation.

4. Calc Carb

Often for dry & itchy skin on the head, or cradle cap, can often most point to Calcarea Carbonica aka Calc Carb.

5. Ars Alb

This kind of dry & itchy skin is probably the worst kind. If you have issues with dry & itchy skin that is burning, giving you all sorts of nervousness, restlessness, and perhaps some gut issues, and obsessiveness – then Ars Alb could be good to consider.
