Skin Problems That Happen In the Fall

Some of our favorite parts of fall include the beautiful colors and crisp weather. However, many individuals experience skin problems during the changing seasons, so seeking help is necessary. 

Common skin problems during this time of year include: 

• Dry skin
• Eczema
• Keratosis pilaris
• Rosacea
• Seborrheic dermatitis

If you face these symptoms, your skincare regimen may require specialized products. 

Dry Skin

Dry skin may seem more prevalent in the fall due to the lower levels of humidity in the air. The temperature drops, and you lose that natural moisture you get from warm summer breezes. In addition, the fall season can bring more winds, effectively drying out your skin. 

Eczema 

Although eczema problems can be visible year-round, many individuals will notice an increase in flare-ups during the fall season. The drop in humidity, an increase in wind, and temperature changes can aggravate already stressed skin and produce more eczema symptoms. 

Keratosis Pilaris 

Keratosis pilaris is a condition that can cause raised bumps on the skin, typically around the cheeks, arms, legs, and buttocks, feeling rough to the touch. It appears on areas with hair follicles and can be varying colors of white, pink, red, brown, or black.

Rosacea 

If your skin shows abnormally high flushing or visible blood vessels under the skin, it could be rosacea. Changing seasons and the distinct temperature differences between indoors and outside can aggravate symptoms. 

Seborrheic Dermatitis

Seborrheic dermatitis can create dry, scaly patches on the skin that appear on the scalp, face, or chest. Although, it is more prevalent with a higher concentration of skin oils. You may have recurring symptoms that often appear when the weather is cooler during the fall season.
