Allergic rhinitis is a condition in which the nasal mucosa reacts excessively to certain substances (allergens). The main symptoms are sudden bouts of sneezing, clear runny nose, stuffy nose, and itching. According to the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, about 18% of Koreans experience it. The incidence is especially high among teenagers. If symptoms persist or complications are suspected, please consult an otolaryngology (ENT) specialist.2026-06-26

Asthma is a chronic respiratory condition in which the airways (the passages through which air moves in and out of the lungs) become hypersensitive, often due to allergic reactions, and narrow, causing recurring coughing, wheezing, and shortness of breath. It is sometimes mistaken for a severe cough or cold, which can delay proper treatment. Symptoms can worsen with exposure to yellow dust, fine particulate matter, or pollen. If you have recurring coughing or shortness of breath, please consult a pulmonologist or allergist.2026-06-26

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

Covering the skin well during outdoor activity and showering afterward are key to prevention. If flu-like symptoms develop after outdoor activity in the fall, please consult a medical specialist.2026-06-26
