In spring, when the temperature rises, all kinds of bacteria, viruses and substances that can easily cause human allergies become active. On the morning of April 8, the reporter saw in the dermatology outpatient clinic of the Jiading Branch of Renji Hospital (Jiading District Central Hospital) that patients with allergies came to see each other from time to time.
The patient, Ms. Jiang, woke up in the morning and found that her face was red and swollen in many places, and she immediately came to the hospital for treatment. "I'm allergic, probably because I didn't pay much attention to protection when I went out to enjoy the flowers two days ago, and my face was swollen this morning. Ms. Jiang said.
After examination, the doctor diagnosed Ms. Jiang with skin allergies. "Allergy sufferers experience burning, itching, facial flushing, erythematous papules, edema, and even scaling. Lv Hongli, deputy chief physician of the Department of Dermatology, introduced.
It is understood that since April, the daily outpatient volume of the dermatology department of the hospital has increased by about 20% compared with the same period last month, many of whom are patients with allergic skin diseases. "As the temperature rises in spring, there is more pollen, and the exposure to ultraviolet rays is more than in winter, and the patient's skin begins to appear in a state of high temperature and humidity, and sweat irritation can also cause skin allergies. Lu Hongli explained.
Doctors remind that for people who are prone to seasonal allergies, they need to pay special attention to protection, minimize contact with allergens such as pollen when going out, and do a good job of physical sun protection. In addition, when taking care of your skin, you should also avoid using harsh products, and if you have symptoms of allergies, you should go to the hospital in time.
"It is recommended to apply a cold compress at the first time, use an ice towel and ice pack to cool down the skin temperature, and do not rinse with hot water. Then go to the hospital in time to avoid self-medication or blindly trying folk remedies. "Patients need to undergo routine blood tests and allergen tests, and under the professional guidance of doctors, take oral anti-allergy drugs, yellow light therapy, topical anti-inflammatory ointments and other treatments." ”
