Wash household items, especially bedding and curtains, regularly to reduce dust mite breeding.
Pet dander:
For people with pet allergies, try to avoid excessive close contact with pets or limit pets to the bedroom.
Sun Protection:
In spring, the sun is getting stronger and the ultraviolet radiation increases, which is easy to cause photosensitivity** diseases, so go out to do a good job of physical sun protection (wearing a hat, using a parasol) and apply sunscreen.
Moisturizing:
Pay attention to moisturizing, choose gentle and non-irritating skin care products, and prevent aggravated allergic reactions due to dryness leading to a decrease in barrier function.
