[Question] Can showering with hot water make my body drier?

As the weather has become dry these days,

I'm moisturizing with body lotion.

My skin around my legs feels itchy, perhaps because my skin doesn't moisturize well. Will showering with hot water make my skin drier?

It's especially itchy after taking a shower

I scratched myself without realizing it and ended up with a wound on my leg like this ㅠ
