Lifestyle Desk – The rainy season definitely provides relief from the heat, but the increased humidity and sweat during this time can cause many problems for the skin. Due to constant humidity, moisture remains on the skin of the body, which increases the risk of growth of bacteria and fungus. Accumulation of moisture, especially in the neck, armpits, between the thighs and other folds of the body, can cause problems like itching, redness, rash and infection. Let us know the ways to avoid this.

Do not wear wet clothes at all

Wearing wet clothes for a long time during the rainy season can be harmful for the skin. The moisture present in wet clothes and body heat can create an environment in which fungus can easily grow. Therefore, after getting wet in the rain, it is important to change clothes as soon as possible and dry the body thoroughly. Especially undergarments and socks should not be allowed to remain wet or damp for a long time.

Avoid wearing sweaty clothes

Staying in sweaty clothes for a long time after gym or exercise can also cause skin problems. Sweat and humidity can cause inflammation and small pimples around the hair follicles, which is called folliculitis. At the same time, excess oil, sweat and dead skin cells together can increase body acne on different parts of the body. In this season, it is better to clean the body after workout and change sweaty clothes immediately. Wear loose and clean clothes, so that the skin gets air circulation and moisture does not accumulate for a long time.

Pay special attention to skin folds

Sweat easily accumulates in areas like the armpits, waist, between the thighs and under the breasts. After bathing, it is important to dry these areas thoroughly with a soft towel. Excessive rubbing can cause skin irritation, so dry the skin slowly.

Taking bath daily in the rain, wearing clean clothes and using personal towel is also important in terms of hygiene. If itching, circular red rashes, persistent rash, irritation or signs of infection appear on the skin, it is better to consult a dermatologist instead of applying the medicine again and again on your own.

Overall, skin care during the rainy season should not be limited to just the face. Keeping the body dry, changing sweaty clothes and not allowing moisture to accumulate in the skin folds are simple but important ways to keep the skin healthy in this season.
