Introduction - Heat and Eczema

Hot weather can be a mixed blessing for those with eczema. While you may enjoy the sunshine, it can also provoke flare-ups. In this post, we'll examine the impact of heat on eczema and explain how Proton Health's app can help you stay comfortable and manage your skin during sweltering months.

The Connection Between Heat and Eczema

High temperatures can result in increased water loss from the skin, leading to dehydration and a higher likelihood of flare-ups. Sweating is another factor that can irritate your skin, particularly in areas like the neck, inner elbows, and the back of your knees.
