Skin diseases flare up in the fall

Dermatological diseases can flare up during seasonal transitions. Some groups of diseases may increase in dry and cold weather, while others may become more severe in summer.

With the arrival of autumn, we begin to experience reduced sun exposure and more exposure to dry, windy weather. This can lead to an increase in seborrheic dermatitis, acne, skin dryness-related eczema, and itching.

Seborrheic dermatitis, also known as oily eczema, presents with redness and scaling on the face or scalp. Its causes include genetic predisposition and having oily skin. It tends to worsen in dry, windy environments. Treatment may involve medical skin care procedures such as carbon peeling to reduce oil synthesis and the use of topical medications. Periodic chemical peeling procedures can also be beneficial for the skin. Special eczema shampoos and lotions for the scalp will be helpful.

Another condition that tends to increase in autumn is hair loss. Depending on the person's living area, hair typically grows during the spring and summer. In the autumn-winter period, we may experience an increase in hair shedding known as telogen effluvium. This condition is often considered physiological, but sometimes mesotherapy and oral vitamin support may be necessary.

Acne, or pimples, is another condition that can increase. Sun and sea help soothe acne lesions. Therefore, with the arrival of autumn and winter, you may experience an increase in acne. Dermatological consultation may be beneficial.

Carbon peeling, chemical peels, medical skin care treatments, and medications chosen based on the severity of acne will be helpful.
Using ample topical moisturizers for eczema and avoiding drying chemical soaps and detergents will be beneficial. Dermatological consultation is recommended when necessary.

In summary, if you experience an increase in skin diseases during the autumn period, it would be beneficial to visit the nearest dermatology clinic.
