According to BSCKII Vu Thi Phuong Dung, Department of Examination, Central Dermatology Hospital, hot summer weather with high temperatures and strong UV rays weakens the skin's protective barrier, while increasing sweat and sebum secretion. These are factors that increase the risk of skin diseases.
Common skin diseases in the summer
Doctors said that hot and humid environments create favorable conditions for bacteria and fungi to develop, causing many skin diseases to increase. Among them, sun-induced dermatitis, heat rash, skin fungal diseases such as stem fungus, inguinal fungus, interstitial fungus, folliculitis, acne and atopic dermatitis are common.
Cases of sun allergies and skin diseases caused by insects also tend to increase in the summer.
Skin care methods in hot weather
According to BSCKII Vu Thi Phuong Dung, summer weather causes the body to secrete more sweat and sebum, easily causing clogged pores and acne formation. Therefore, proper skin cleansing is very important.
People should choose facial cleansers suitable for each skin type and weather conditions to clean dirt and excess oil. In addition, it is necessary to use moisturizing products suitable for summer, prioritizing those with gel or liquid textures to easily absorb and limit clogged pores.
