Gyeonggi Province announced on October 30 that it had held a special lecture titled "Atopic Dermatitis: What Pregnant Women Should Know" via the video conferencing platform Zoom on October 29.

Na Jeongim, a professor in the Department of Dermatology at Seoul National University Bundang Hospital, spoke about skin changes during pregnancy, proper moisturizing and skin care, and the relationship between food and atopic dermatitis.

"Rather than categorically restricting certain foods, it is important to maintain a balanced diet and manage the condition based on sound evidence," Professor Na emphasized. She also shared information to help ease concerns about treating atopic dermatitis during pregnancy.

The session included a live question-and-answer segment to address attendees' questions. A moisturizer giveaway was also held.

"Pregnant women can easily be exposed to unverified information because they are concerned about the health of their unborn children," said Jang Yunseok, director of the Gyeonggi Southern Atopy and Asthma Education and Information Center. "I hope this session helped address their questions and correct misconceptions."

Gyeonggi Province plans to expand its tailored allergy disease prevention and management education for different stages of life, including parents of infants and young children, as well as children and adolescents. It will also extend the program to areas that do not currently participate in the atopy and asthma prevention and management initiative, with the aim of reducing disparities in services among cities and counties.
