Good afternoon. My child has skin allergies. She received a recommendation that staying at sea would have a beneficial effect on her health. Tell me should I listen?

Hello Oksana. And so, let's go in order. Humid sea air is excellent for bronchial asthma, which can also be a manifestation of allergies. As for dermatitis, there are a number of nuances. First, climate change, as such, will not be favorable for the baby. Secondly, exposure to the sun, in hot weather, at such a tender age, is also not a favorable factor and can provoke hypersensitivity to solar radiation.
Well, as for the climate itself, perhaps it will have a beneficial effect on the baby. But the risk of exposing the child to severe acclimatization and the scorching sun is still much higher. Moreover, bathing in sea water, as such, can irritate the delicate skin of a child, which, combined with strong exposure to solar radiation, will only aggravate the disease.
In general, at this age, the baby's body does not need to be subjected to debilitating changes, in particular, climate changes. The fact is that the body spends most of its resources on growth, which should take place without sudden disruptions. Of course, this does not mean that a trip to the sea will necessarily harm the baby. But it is better to avoid this at this age.
