In the past few days, heavy rainfall in Foshan has been frequent, and some roads have even been flooded. If you have stepped on your feet with stagnant water, you are prone to itching, and the number of people visiting the dermatology department of the hospital has increased recently. In addition to the inconvenience of travel, the human body is also prone to symptoms of heavy humidity.
Huang Shenglin, the attending physician of Foshan Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, introduced that moisture is divided into internal dampness and external dampness. The current continuous rain and the unique Huinantian in Guangdong are the causes of external humidity. If there is a certain amount of dampness accumulated in the body, especially for people with symptoms of spleen deficiency, the transport function is abnormal, and it is easy to produce phlegm and dampness, and phlegm and dampness will also cause stomach discomfort after a long time. In the environment of rainy days, internal and external moisture attacks cause such people to easily cause bloating, poor appetite, unformed stools, and heavy body.
In addition to seeing the sticky bowel movements, thick and greasy tongue coating, moisture is also easy to invade the skin, and when there is itching or rash on the body, this also proves that there is dampness in the body. Doctors suggest that to avoid external moisture, it is necessary to minimize exposure to humid environment, use dehumidifiers and desiccants indoors, dry clothes, and blow dry your hair in time after washing. It can also be used to remove dampness through traditional Chinese medicine remedies such as foot soaking, cupping, and moxibustion.
In addition, movement generates yang, and yang can dissolve dampness. Appropriate exercises such as running, walking, ball games, yoga, tai chi, baduanjin, etc. In particular, Baduanjin is especially suitable for office workers, who can do more of the "hands supporting Tianli Sanjiao" and "regulating the spleen and stomach must be single-handed" to accelerate the discharge of moisture from sweat, urine and other ways.
It should be noted that people with wet weight should try to eat less cold, fried, sweet, and high-calorie foods.
In terms of dispelling dampness soup, if you want to achieve the effect of strengthening the spleen and dispelling dampness, you can boil wet yam and lentil pork rib soup, Poria cocos grass root lean meat soup, and atractylodes sand kernel pork belly soup;
If you are in the office, you can cook ginger and red date water and five tiger soup at home and take them back to drink. The "Five Tigers" are five common ingredients, including ginger, jujubes, green onions, black beans, and walnuts, which are suitable for both adults and children.
If the public encounters "after-work rain", the doctor recommends that after going home and taking a hot bath, use a hair dryer to blow the back, especially near the large vertebrae, that is, the highest place in the neck bone can be felt after bowing the head, and the effect of dispelling wind and cold is better.
Wading in the water for a long time on the street or not paying attention to washing in time after wading in the water is easy to induce skin allergies, eczema and other diseases, and patients who originally suffered from athlete's foot are also prone to aggravate their symptoms.
Luo Wenfeng, deputy director and chief physician of the Department of Dermatology of Foshan Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, said that places where dirty water has been stepped on are prone to erythema or blisters, which is often called "water-soaked dermatitis" by the public, and "contact dermatitis" in medicine. If an adult self-manages well, it may take about a week to heal on its own, but it is more difficult for children to control and can't help but scratch, which will aggravate the irritation of inflammation, so it is necessary to seek medical attention in time.
Dr. Luo suggested that the public should prepare rain boots when going out, and in the choice of rain boots, rain boots are better than slippers or sandals. "However, rain boots have poor breathability, and long-term wear is also easy to induce skin diseases due to hot and humid feet. ”
Staying dry is the best way to prevent fungal infections. If the public has symptoms such as redness and itching on their feet after wading in the water, they can soak their feet with boron acid lotion or skin washing granules prepared in Fozhong Hospital, which can play a role in reducing inflammation and relieving itching. If it is a citizen with aggravated athlete's foot, you can use the internal preparation of external lotion in Fozhong Hospital to soak your feet to sterilize and relieve itching.
