[Health Channel/Comprehensive Report] As summer and autumn alternate, the air begins to dry out, and the temperature difference between morning and evening becomes larger, which makes atopic dermatitis easy to recur at this time, making the skin itchy and uncomfortable.

The doctor said that short-term symptoms of atopic dermatitis will appear itchy skin, rash, exudation, crusting, and scaling. If you want to prevent the deterioration of atopic dermatitis, the doctor proposes 7 points of life to pay attention to.

Wang Xinmei, director of Mingyang Yuxi Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic, posted on the Facebook fan page "Doctor Wang Xinmei" that although atopic dermatitis is manifested in the skin, Chinese medicine believes that the root cause is actually the spleen, stomach and kidney.

Insufficiency of the kidneys will manifest in congenital physical defects, such as genetics, allergies, and immunity; deficiency of the spleen will lead to the accumulation of moisture in specific places in the body. If it accumulates on the skin, it will cause eczema.

In addition, the doctor reminds that if infants and young children are not fed properly, stomach heat accumulates on the skin, which is also likely to cause skin rash, red heat and other symptoms.

Sweat can irritate the skin, at least to the extent that you won't sweat, and if you sweat a lot, it's best to take a shower immediately after the exercise.
