Episode 238 | You Think It's the Heat. It's Not.
About this episode
Andra McHugh discusses the misconceptions about heat as a cause of summer eczema flares and offers practical tips for managing symptoms.
Every summer, your child's eczema gets worse and you assume it's the heat and humidity. But what if the heat isn't the cause at all, just the thing finally showing you a problem that was already there? Today I'm breaking down why "it's just the heat" is one of the most common (and most misleading) explanations parents get for summer flares. I walk through the real difference between a trigger and a root cause, and why heat actually amplifies existing inflammation rather than creating it. I also share three practical things you can do this week to make the next few weeks more comfortable, and why those tips alone won't resolve the underlying issue.
