Avoid long exposure: Avoid long exposure to steam and heat. Apply a moisturizer for dry skin and watch for any shortness of breath, cough or swelling of the legs. Please schedule a follow up visit with your PCP to check your BP and examination. Take photos to share with your PCP. Some cardiac conditions may be associated with changes in skin color.
