Sunscreen spray allergies appear white lung
Doctor's advice: Try not to spray sunscreen spray on your face
As the temperature rises and the sun becomes stronger, sunscreen has become an important part of many people's daily skin care.
Previously, a patient came to the emergency department of Changsha Third Hospital, who came to the hospital with breathing difficulties and cough. The emergency physician prescribed a chest CT scan for the patient, and after multi-dimensional CT imaging, it was found that the patient's lungs showed a large area of symmetrical white membranous vilaselous fluid, which is commonly known as white lung.
According to the patient, he had no previous history of respiratory illness, and that he sprayed sunscreen spray on his face before going out that day, and he did not hold his breath at that time, resulting in a cough all day, and at night, he felt very difficult to breathe.
After examination, the doctor said that it was basically determined that after the sunscreen spray was inhaled, the lungs had an allergic reaction, causing pulmonary edema, which led to acute hypersensitivity pneumonitis.
Fan Du, Deputy Chief Physician of the Department of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, Changsha Third Hospital: Acute hypersensitivity pneumonitis is like our skin allergies, which may be itchy and painful when it grows, but it will disappear after a period of time;

What to look out for when using sunscreen spray
In order to avoid damage to health?
The reporter bought 7 sunscreen spray products with prices ranging from 40 yuan to 299 yuan on the online shopping platform. In the video of the store's introduction, most of the demonstrators spray on their faces and limbs.
For sunscreen products specifically aimed at children, only one merchant on the page reminds that when using on children's faces, they need to be sprayed on the palm of the hand and evenly applied to the face, and the rest are said to be directly applied to children's faces.
Doctors remind that hypersensitivity pneumonitis is divided into three course states: acute, subacute and chronic.
If you hold your breath when using sunscreen spray on your face during a summer or longer, the suspended particulates filled with the environment will not settle and dissipate quickly, and you will still be inhaled into the lungs without knowing it, which is a history of long-term chronic exposure, and the damage to the lungs is a subacute course.
If this process takes more than half a year, it can be determined to be a chronic course state. There may be no cough or discomfort during this process, so there is no warning, and it is difficult to attract the attention of the patient, but it will cause irreversible damage to the lungs.
Doctor advises
Try not to spray the sunscreen spray on the face, it is best to use it in a ventilated place, and avoid spraying in small spaces such as inside the car and indoor powder room.
There are dozens of sunscreen spray ingredients
If you are not careful, you may instantly turn into a flamethrower
During the investigation, the packaging of the 7 sunscreen spray products purchased by the reporter was printed with dozens of product ingredients, and as consumers, there was no way to know what these proper nouns represented.
According to the analysis software, most of the ingredients in the 7 products were moisturizing, antioxidant skin conditioners and chemical sunscreens. In addition, butane, propane, and isobutane are also contained, which are collectively referred to as propellants on compositional analysis software.
In fact, these are the ingredients that most sunscreen sprays contain, and they are also the main ingredients in lighter fuel. This means that if it is not handled properly or if it is used by an open flame, there is a high risk of catching fire.

Firefighters reminded
Sunscreen sprays all have propellants, and these ingredients are flammable and flammable, and a little carelessness in handling and use may pose a safety risk. In the actual test, when the firefighters sprayed the sunscreen spray on the head of the igniter, a huge fire ball instantly evolved.
When using sunscreen spray, keep an eye out for people around you who are smoking or using lighters at close range to avoid accidents.
Children should use sunscreen spray with caution
Moderate sun exposure and sun protection
The reporter found that the sunscreen spray specially suitable for children was marked with promotional words such as "suitable for babies over 6 months old" and "special for children, safe sunscreen" on the product detail page.
However, some parents commented on the Internet that they used a special sunscreen spray for children when they went out on a trip, and the child kept coughing after using it, accompanied by white lips and vomiting.
Well, sunscreen spray for kids
How should I use it?
When the reporter interviewed a dermatologist, it was learned that if the child goes to a place like the beach and the skin is exposed to unobstructed sunlight for a long time, it is necessary to use sunscreen.
For children, it is necessary to apply at least close to the thickness of a coin to have a sunscreen effect, and sunscreen spray is difficult to spray in sufficient and even amounts.
When using sunscreen spray for children, in addition to avoiding inhalation of particulates, it is also important to note that sunscreen spray is difficult to completely clean, and it needs to be removed from makeup or washed with an amino acid cleanser.
Doctor advises
Although children need sun protection, moderate sun exposure and exposure to sunlight are very conducive to growth. Clinical studies have found that many skin diseases are caused by a lack of vitamin D, which is due to too little sun exposure.
Both sun exposure and sun protection should follow the principle of moderation.
