Heavy rain is especially prone to eczema

4 tips on how to reduce the chance of outbreaks:

🌨 Will the rain eczema be particularly scarred?

Seasonal changes can cause environmental changes, such as
dry to wet and hot to frozen, which can cause irritation to the skin
. The skin barrier of eczema is particularly
fragile, so it is affected in special seasons.
Traditional Chinese medicine theories that evil qi such as cold and dampness will accumulate on the surface of the
skin and cause problems such as
itching, dryness, redness and swelling.

🧴 Tip 1: Take active skin care

When the air humidity is too high, people with fragile skin tissues (especially sensitive skin and children) are particularly prone to eczema, so we must actively maintain the skin barrier every day, moisturize diligently, and apply moisturizer at least three times a day.
To reduce irritation, moisturizers that are free of preservatives and artificial fragrances should be used to avoid burdening the skin.

💦 Tip 2: Keep the humidity in the room stable

The most comfortable humidity for human skin is about 60%, if it rains, first close the window to reduce the humidity to continue to rise, and make good use of dehumidifying tools, such as turning on the dehumidifier or turning on the air conditioner, to reduce the humidity of the space, but also do not overpump and make the humidity too low, and dry the skin.

🥤 Tip 3: Drink less iced beverages

Although iced drinks are very delicious, they are known to be not beneficial to the body, and for people with eczema, they should drink less ice drinks, because ice drinks will shrink the pores of the skin, make damp and cold and sleepy, and rain will cause eczema to break out. Therefore, drinking ice drinks should be minimized to reduce the chance of outbreaks.

🏌️‍♀️ Tip 4: Do a moderate amount of exercise

When too much moisture accumulates in the body, a moderate amount of exercise can reduce the cold and dampness in the body through sweat.
However, as long as a moderate amount of exercise is enough, sweating will make eczema skin more itchy.
