In small children, it is also advisable to cut the nails well, so that they do not injure themselves due to the itching.

, especially if the skin is irritated and red.

The area should be washed with mild soap and water.

Some of the more bothersome symptoms in older people this season, and especially in women, are cracks in the lips and around the mouth.

It is recommended to use several times a day moisturizing lipsticks and vice versa, to reduce the use of blushes.
