Under the scorching heat of the day, the skin seems to become a warrior on the battlefield, facing the relentless ‘General Flame’ of daylight. Standing in the sun for a long time without protection, the skin is like an unprotected shield, burned by the fierce attack of the ‘General Flame’, induced solar dermatitis - that is a red swelling and pain intertwined with the ‘red alert! It is a ‘red alert’ of redness, swelling and pain, itching like a fine needle prick, making it difficult to endure its pain.
Prickly heat is the ‘tiny rebel’ on the skin during the hot and humid season. Sweat like a flooded river, in the skin between the gullies running endlessly, but because of the hot and humid climate and stagnant in the surface, into the pores of the ‘blocked army’. These droplets are not willing to be left alone, and skin cells conspire to set off a ‘miniature uprising’ around the sweat glands, eventually forming a dense, unpleasant prickly heat - like dewdrops on the summer grass, but with a stinging itch and discomfort.
As for papular urticaria, it's more like the ‘ghost of a bug bite’ that strikes at night. Inadvertently, these little insects become an invisible enemy of the skin, leaving not only tiny wounds but also triggering a ‘metamorphosis’ of the skin. The oedematous pimples and papules that appear on the skin are like ‘magic marks’ that come out of nowhere, and under scratching, these marks seem to be given life, expanding into hard, wind-torn rashes, and some of them even stubbornly knit into hard knots, just like the battle scars of a warrior's body, which record the fight with the enemy of the insect bites.
Eczema is like a rainy season on the skin and the hot and humid environment is the catalyst for that rain. When the air is filled with sticky humidity, as if even breathing becomes heavy, the skin becomes the most sensitive weather forecaster. It begins to protest, with red spots, pimples and blisters springing up and covering the skin like a wet forest, fragile and challenging at the same time. These ‘raindrops’ of eczema are not only visually unpleasant but are also accompanied by unspeakable itching and discomfort, like a steady rain that beats on the heart, making it difficult to bear. Each touch may trigger a more violent ‘storm’, making the ‘wetland’ on the skin surface more flooded, creating an uncontrollable situation. Protecting the skin from eczema in a hot and humid environment is like guarding a dry haven during the rainy season, and requires a lot of care and attention. By keeping the skin clean and dry, avoiding excessive rubbing and scratching, and treating it with appropriate medication.
It's like a wonderful paradox on a summer afternoon - the environment is steamy, hot and humid, while your skin feels like it's in the middle of a desert, craving moisture. This is not because sweat is like a greedy thief, sneaking all the moisture away from the skin, but because a complex ‘skin symphony’ is quietly staged.
In hot weather, the human body is like an active volcano, constantly erupting sweat this ‘lava’. At the same time, the sebaceous glands under the skin also work overtime to secrete more oil, trying to build a protective wall for the skin. However, this mixture of sweat and oil is like an unexpected ‘mudslide’, which not only blocks the ‘channel’ of the pores but also makes it difficult for the skin to breathe. The hot and humid environment is like a fertile breeding ground for bacteria. These microorganisms dance happily in the crevices of the skin, exacerbating the skin's inflammatory response, and pimples spring up.
Worse still, with high temperatures and ultraviolet rays, the two ‘uninvited guests’, join forces to destroy the skin barrier this ‘wall’, so that the skin's ability to protect is greatly reduced. At this time, the skin, like a warrior without armour, is more vulnerable to external stimuli and infections of the invasion. If at this time you also chose a greasy or impermeable skin care product, it is like the skin has been burdened with another layer of heavy ‘armour’. This not only does not bring protection to the skin but also makes it more breathable, the risk of acne also rises.
Therefore, in the hot weather, maintain the skin's oil balance, choose fresh and breathable skin care products, as well as good sun protection and cleaning work, is to avoid this ‘skin disaster’ key.
