Q I'm raising a child with atopic dermatitis in Dong-gu, Incheon. Any environmental management tips?
A Keep indoor humidity at 50-60%, limit going out on high fine-dust days, and wash bedding once a week as a baseline.
Detailed Answer
The Dong-gu area of Incheon has high exposure to fine dust and air pollution due to its proximity to the harbor and industrial zones. It is important to use an air purifier, ventilate briefly during times when fine dust is low (after 10 a.m.), and follow a routine of showering immediately after coming home.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
At the Dongincheon branch of Dongjedang, we also provide lifestyle guidance that takes the local environmental characteristics into account. Combining the blocking of external irritants with internal detoxification treatment can reduce the frequency of recurrence.
