Hi!! I have gone through your complaints and according to me you are atopic which means you are internally sensitive to certain things like extremes of temperature (cold weather) , dust, pets, pollens etc. You should try to avoid conditions which can aggravate your problem. You should avoid extremes of temperature, avoid dusty environment, stay away from pets, don't use hot water for bathing instead use lukewarm water, keep your body moisturized and wear cotton clothes beneath wollen clothes as your skin is extremely sensitive and dont use harsh soaps for bathing.
