Skin Signals - Danger Zones
I am continuing my educational series on how skin “speaks” to us. This week is about some danger signs. The indications are things we need to pay attention to and have checked. Many times, when we can identify early signs of a problem, we can mitigate its ability to destroy, restrict, or cause further discomfort and possibly damage.
Here are ten signs that your skin is screaming for help:
Dehydration that you cannot alleviate. Your skin is dry no matter what you use. It’s peeling and may even be painful, red, or itchy.
A rash that will not go away.
Acne that persists and spreads, either in the region or a pustule that continues to get larger and painful.
Hyperpigmentation and splotchiness that seems to spread.
Burns on your skin from a chemical or environmental exposure.
For all of the above, please see your skincare specialist. You may be exhibiting signs of fungus, gut issues, or something more serious. Since your skin “speaks” to you, please make sure you are taking the time to listen, research, make adjustments where needed, and most importantly, see your skincare specialists to get on a regimen and back to healthy skin.
See you on the next blog!
