Atopic dermatitis is a chronic skin condition in which allergic mechanisms cause ongoing inflammation of the skin. It causes severe itching and recurring eczema, and the skin can become thick and rough (lichenification). It tends to occur when a person with a genetic predisposition is exposed to allergy triggers, and symptoms can worsen with spring pollen, house dust mites, and fine particulate matter. If symptoms persist, please consult an allergist or a dermatologist.2026-06-26

Fine Dust (Particulate Matter) and Health
#particulate matter, #fine particulate matter (PM2.5), #Asian dust (yellow dust), #respiratory system, #mask, #KF80, #KF94, #asthma, #air pollution, #dry cough, #minor cough, #persistent cough
Fine dust consists of tiny particles floating in the air. It directly affects the respiratory tract, including the nose, bronchi, and lungs, and can also harm the whole body, including the heart, brain, and blood vessels, through the bloodstream. Long-term exposure increases the risk of asthma, reduced lung function, and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease. On days when fine dust levels are high, limit outdoor activities, and people at high risk are advised to wear a health protection mask.2026-06-26

Glaucoma

Glaucoma is a disease in which the optic nerve inside the eye is gradually damaged by high intraocular pressure or other factors, causing the visual field to narrow progressively. There are almost no symptoms in the early stage, so detection can be delayed, and rather than a cure, lifelong consistent management is important. Detecting it early through regular checkups and starting treatment is the best way to help prevent blindness.2026-06-26
