- Heat: For some people, heat can trigger flare-ups. Using air conditioning or fans to keep the skin cool might help. Antifungal creams, corticosteroids, or over-the-counter treatments can also be beneficial.

- Humidity: High humidity can sometimes help by keeping the skin more lubricated, which may support the skin barrier and offer protection from Malassezia yeast. However, Malassezia yeast is more likely to grow in high humidity, which can also be a trigger.
