If you have eczema, in the summer: moisturise daily, control your climate, dress to be cool, rinse off when needed, manage your allergies.
In the summer, heat can make eczema rashes more itchy, sweat can dry your skin out, and allergies/chlorinated swimming pool water/sunlight may trigger it.
Eczema is a condition that causes the skin to become itchy, red, dry and cracked. It is a long-term condition and often occurs in people with allergies or with a family history of it.
Summer Holiday Project #2: Work towards physical health. Start and keep up a daily exercise regime, see your doctor for outstanding issues, eat healthily, get involved in local sports.
When you are tired or unwell, instead of lashing out, get as much support as you can from those who love and care for you.
Next time you are tired or unwell, take a moment to notice how you feel mentally, emotionally and physically. This helps you recognise the sensations so you can do something about it.
Schedule outdoor activities to avoid the hours when the sun is at its strongest – when directly overhead. Doing this can help to minimise exposure. Where possible, rearrange your day’s schedule to spend time outdoors when the sun is lower in the sky – early mornings and late afternoons (11am-3pm).
Keep healthy and balanced when studying. Exercise regularly, eat healthily and take time to relax and rest your body and mind.
To keep fit, choose a sport you enjoy – so that it doesn’t become a task/job and in time something that becomes just another item on your ‘To Do’ list.
Some symptoms are common to many diseases, such as fever or aches. Bear this in mind when researching ailments on the internet and think how likely it is you have the disease.
