COMMON SKIN PROBLEMS

Excessive sweating, humidity, and rainwater can cause acne, pimples, and breakouts, making skin care essential.

ATHLETE'S FOOT

Athlete's foot causes blisters, yellow patches on feet and toenails, and cracks that can lead to infection; keeping feet dry prevents this.

ECZEMA

Eczema causes dry, red, blistered skin that itches constantly due to weakened skin barrier; moisturising and consulting a doctor helps.

HYPERPIGMENTATION

Not wearing sunscreen during monsoon can cause pigmentation on the skin; using sunscreen daily prevents UV damage.

FOLLICULITIS

Hair follicles become clogged and inflamed, leading to tiny bumps; keeping skin pores clean prevents this condition.

DULL AND DEHYDRATED SKIN

Despite humidity, skin can become dull and dehydrated; using hydrating moisturizers and drinking water keeps skin healthy.

SKIN CARE TIPS

Dermatologists suggest using gentle cleansers, lightweight moisturisers, and sunscreen to keep skin healthy during monsoon.

THE STUDY

According to a study by the National Institute of Health (NIH), Skin disorders are common during the monsoon season, and it is essential to take preventive measures to maintain good skin health.

CONCLUSION

Healthy skin is just a few tips away this monsoon season. Consult a healthcare professional for personalised advice.
