Climate change has a very real impact on your skin, adding an extra hurdle in the field of dermatology. Research shows a link between climate change and issues ranging from pediatric skin health to even causing an increase in skin cancer. There has been a large increase in climate inaction due to the Covid-19 pandemic. We will review this research as well as the implications of a deteriorating climate change on our own skin health and consider how the rise in climate inaction will further impact skin health.

While there have been improvements regarding short-term environmental issues, such as limited movement increasing air quality, long-term effects will worsen due to the lower funding towards research. Due to funding being redirected to Covid-19 relief there has been an increased rate of inaction with this global issue.Climate change can present in many ways. Climate change is frequently defined as long term changes in average weather patterns of a given geography. These changes can result in colder or warmer than average temperatures, unusual weather events, pollution, and air quality fluctuations. All these factors can play a significant role in skin health. Effects of climate change on skin health can vary due to other factors such as age and health status but can also be impacted by social factors such as socioeconomic status and geography.Our skin is our first line of defense and protects our entire body. The more pollution that there is in the air the more at risk we are to poor skin health and a higher rate of skin conditions caused or worsened by external factors. External factors have a huge influence on skin health and can cause new conditions as well as aggravate preexisting conditions. For example, warmer temperatures -especially with higher levels of humidity -have an impact on the activity of infectious microorganisms as well as their vectors which causes an increase in infectious diseases including many that are dermatology based [1]. While this is something that will have an impact on all individuals, there are specific demographics that are at a higher risk.
