Cold Itchy Ichthyosis Man Wasn't So Scratchy!
Well I was right. I've endured this winter with less-cracked, sore thighs have resulted from my choice of under pant insulation. If you are an ichthyosis sufferer in a cold climate, and you haven't figured it out (maybe I'm just the last to the finish line here), definitely look into getting some thicker bottoms before the snow comes.
I managed to get a couple pairs of long johns that fit pretty well, and though the chafe a bit, my skin is not nearly as dry or itchy after being outdoors.
I also got lucky and received some lined jeans for Christmas, which was nice on days off work when I could get away from wearing black dress pants. I didn't manage to find lined dress pants this year, but maybe I will for next winter.
Do you or somebody you know have ichthyosis? Say hi. Let me know how climates affect you.
