Dear Colleagues,
May I kindly enquire if you know of any resources which link climate breakdown to skin health/disorders?
Many thanks in anticipation of your help!
Kind regards

Hi Melissa, there was a special issue of the International Journal of Women’s Dermatology in 2021 that focused on climate change and dermatology. That might be a good place to start finding relevant academic papers. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2352647520301295

As well as the oblivious issue with increased heat and UV (i used t work in photo damaged skin) other secondary factors such as particulates from smoke from wildfires also comes into play https://magazine.hms.harvard.edu/articles/how-warming-climate-wears-skin
