| Description: |
Climate change will affect human health including the skin, mostly adversely, and cause disease outbreaks. The direct impacts of climate change on the skin include the effects of extreme weather events such as heavy rainfall, floods, droughts, and hurricanes, which can attribute to an increase in skin infections, inflammatory skin diseases, and traumatic skin disorders. The indirect effects of climate change arise from the disruption of natural systems which can cause an increase in vector-borne and waterborne diseases, with many of them causing skin manifestations.
