The change of season is here

It's making our skin unbelievably uncomfortable

dry and itch

Hey ! Don't scratch

If it starts bleeding

you may be having a bigger problem

This is very common

When spring is here

your skin rashes here

And this is why

we'll be speaking to the professional dermatologist

who's here to help us

Let's welcome Dr. Amy

Hi guys. My name is Dr. Amy Peng

I'm a dermatologist

So Amy, as a professional dermatologist

You probably have seen many patients

with this kind of problems

Yah, so with Taiwan's hot and humid climate

we get all sorts of skin problems

So this is pretty common

and I think we need to find out more

Jenny I'm so tired

What's wrong ? Amy

You know this is the busiest time for dermatologist

Why ?

This unstable weather

making our skin unstable too

It may itch and we scratch

Oh, I feeling a bit itchy

Don't scratch

You may end up with a skin infection

if you keep scratching

How about scratching it lightly

It's not a good solution

the best is to put on some lotion

If it doesn't get better

you probably got atopic dermatitis

Uh, something like this

That looks like a mosquito bite

Rub some ointment on it

Oh it's so embarrassing

You know I thought it was something series

I even took a photo I sent it to Jiny

Beacuse I thought I'm gonna die

Well, you shouldn't underestimate a mosquito bite

If you keep scratching

it could result in cellulitis

and don't worry you're not gonna die

but it is an open wound so treat it carefully

How about this ?

That is disgusting

Let me help you

There you go

Oh thank you Amy !

No no no let me help you

Thank you

You're welcome

So Amy

what is atopic dermatitis

Can you elaborate a little bit more

Atopic dermatitis is a most common type of eczema

For many complex reasons

our immune system become disordered and overactive

This causes inflammation and damages our skin

Our skin becomes dry and prone to itching

Atopic dermatitis is also commonly associated with

Respiratory allergies

like allergic rhinitis ans asthma

So what are the triggering factors ?

Some common triggers include

cold and dry weather

heat, humidity, sweat and air pollution

Food triggers include

soy, egg,milk,gluten or nuts

So which age group is the most susceptible to this ?

So atopic dermatitis often begins before the age of 5

and may persist into adolescence and adulthood

The area of skin rash depends on the age group

In babes and younger children

it commonly affects the scalp

face and the front parts of the arms and legs

In older children and adults

It's mostly the flexural areas

For example neck inside of the elbows

and back of the knees

Seems like adults have moderate symptom

How is it treated ?

Skin hydration is the most important step

Try to moisturize at least twice daily

especially after shower

Avoid triggers that worsens the skin condition

including sweat, dust mites, pollen and stress

So, will the ordinary moisturizing lotion work ?

So we usually prescribe topical steroid

to relieve the redness, swelling and itching

If a larger area of skin is involved

we also give oral anti-itch medication

to avoid the vicious itch and scratch cycle

Other treatments include phototherapy and wet dressings

Scratching sometimes leads to skin infection

In that case

we also give oral or topical antibiotics

Thank you, Amy

Now I know how to do when winter come

I'm ready
