Rising temperatures during summer could disrupt natural balance of skin, causing surge in dermatological issues

She stated this condition leads to irritation, dryness and allergic reactions, indicating that the manifestation of the imbalance varies depending on the skin type of an individual. She talked about rosacea, describing it as a condition frequently ignored in its early phase when it is only a slight redness on the nose and cheeks. She warned that without proper management, this can evolve into chronic redness characterized by dilated blood vessels, and in more severe instances, the development of pimples. She added that although rosacea is a chronic illness without a complete cure, it can be effectively managed, while its impact may sometimes reach the mouth or eyes. She stressed that treatment strategies must be tailored to the specific stage of the disease, adding that timely medical intervention is vital to prevent complications like the spread of pimples or the thickening of the skin. She said the initial signs of infection include redness triggered by environmental factors or heat, and the development of the condition is affected by acquired and genetic factors.

On the most common summer skin concerns, she cited acne, redness, allergies, irritation, pigmentation, fungal infections, burns, and dehydration that affect both the internal and external health. She suggested a thorough skincare regimen, which includes consistent sunscreen use, proper cleansing, appropriate therapeutic creams and maintaining high water intake. On perspiration, she pointed out that sweat can obstruct pores when combined with sebum, creating an environment for bacteria that leads to acne or infections.

She said fungal issues are common in poorly ventilated areas or spots prone to friction. She added that sensitive skin is vulnerable to UV (ultraviolet) rays, especially when using treatments or exfoliants, while oily skin tends to be more resilient than dry skin, which has a more fragile protective layer. She clarified that minor skin issues often respond to routine moisturizing and daily care, but persistent cases or conditions that do not improve require the intervention of a specialist to establish an effective treatment plan.
