Dream - The condition of the body is highly dependent on the environment, especially when the weather is extreme and the air pollution level is quite high. Extreme weather and other environmental conditions can not only cause problems in the internal organs of the body but also the skin.
Usually, the first thing that can be felt on the skin when exposed to extreme weather or air pollution is itching and irritation. Although it is bothersome, many people underestimate the itching and irritation of the skin. In fact, the skin condition can become more serious if not immediately addressed.
Skin diseases due to environmental conditions are vulnerable to be experienced by Gen Z who were born in the mid-1990s to the early 2010s. Therefore, it is very important to increase the awareness of Generation Z about the impact of weather and pollution on skin health.
Said Amel Soebyanto, a Dermatologist at the Media Briefing event 'Beware of Itching Attacks among Gen Z' in Jakarta, November 22, last Wednesday.
"Perhaps, Dream friends may wonder why Gen Z tends to be more susceptible to skin diseases due to environmental conditions compared to other generations. Want to know the reason? Read the following explanation."
Gen Z is currently in the productive age phase. They will be more active outdoors and exposed to air pollution and extreme weather conditions that can affect skin health. "The productive age requires them (Gen Z) to engage in high activities outside. Moreover, there are now many Gen Z who enjoy running, cycling, or traveling, where sweat is more abundant, causing the skin to be more moist and susceptible to fungal infections," said Eko Wibowo, a Dermatologist at the same event.
The high demands of work make Gen Z tend to choose fast food to save time. This has a significant impact on the health of the body and skin, especially when consuming high-fat foods and high-sugar drinks.
Eko emphasizes that irregular eating patterns and consumption of fast and ultra-processed foods can increase the risk of more severe acne and trigger the recurrence of eczema.
Stress can trigger the release of cortisol hormone. If it occurs for a long time or repeatedly, Sahabat Dream may experience skin problems that start from itching and can cause irritation.

Acne is a common skin problem experienced by Gen Z. It is caused by hormonal changes, diet patterns, and stress. There are several types of acne commonly experienced by Gen Z, ranging from blackheads and red bumps to cystic acne, which symptoms can even be accompanied by fever. "About 85% of the world's population has experienced acne, whether it is mild or severe," said Eko.
Eczema is a condition characterized by dry, itchy, and inflamed skin. The itching can worsen when the weather is hot, which ultimately stimulates the oil glands and triggers seborrheic eczema. Other factors such as dust irritation and excessive stress can also trigger atopic dermatitis. Other types of eczema, such as allergic contact dermatitis and neurodermatitis, can also start with itching.
Fungal infections often occur in moist skin areas and body folds, such as armpits and behind the knees. This condition can be triggered by high physical activity and excessive sweating. Avoid wearing tight clothes and choose materials that easily absorb sweat to prevent fungal infections and the growth of acne.
Gen Z is also vulnerable to sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Unsafe sexual behavior, lack of education, and hormonal imbalances can increase the risk of contracting STIs. Common cases of this disease include genital warts, gonorrhea, and syphilis.
