Advanced Usage Notes

This term is considered somewhat archaic or traditional in modern Vietnamese. It is more commonly found in older texts or used by older generations.
It specifically links the skin condition to a change in environment or climate, not to other causes like allergies or food.
The condition is often perceived as temporary, occurring until the body adapts to the new climate.
