Severe Air Pollution Triggers Surge In Skin And Hair Issues Across Cities

<b>Severe air pollution</b> sweeping across Delhi and other urban centers is taking a heavy toll on public health, prompting a noticeable surge in patients seeking dermatological care. Doctors report that toxic winter air, combined with vehicular emissions and festive smoke, is driving up cases of acne breakouts, pigmentation, skin sensitivity, and <b>premature aging signs</b> like fine lines. Medical experts note that pollutants settling on the skin trigger systemic inflammation, worsening existing conditions such as eczema and rosacea. Meanwhile, hair and scalp complaints including severe dandruff, itchiness, oily roots, and hair loss are also on the rise, leading to increased demand for specialized <b>barrier-repair creams</b>, anti-pollution serums, and detox treatments.
