Outdoor camping
A family of four was all recruited
Recently, Ms. Chen from Shaoxing City, Zhejiang Province came to the dermatology department of the hospital for treatment. She told the doctor that on the first day of the May Day holiday, the family of four made an appointment with a friend's family to set up a tent and cook at an outdoor campsite.
"When I came home in the evening, the whole family had a rash. Ms. Chen said that the red rash became more and more itchy, and it was itchy that it was difficult to sleep.
"This is insect bite dermatitis, also known as papular urticaria, and most of the disease is related to the bite of insects such as mosquitoes, mites, and midges. Exposed limbs, waist and abdomen are the most common common sites, and the symptoms are recurrent, sometimes chronic itchy edematous erythema, papules and herpes, which will become more and more red and itchy more and more scratched, especially at night, after scratching, red and itchy will increase, and blisters may occur in severe cases. "Doctors say that during peak insect vector activity, even walking in the grass can lead to bites.
"For papular urticaria, the most important thing is not to scratch it, so as not to cause secondary symptoms such as bacterial infection. If the symptoms are mild or cannot go to the hospital temporarily, it can be relieved by applying ice or calamine, and do not soak in hot water. If the pain is unbearable, you need to seek medical attention immediately.
"Why do insects love to bite me!"
Some people will have questions like this:
I didn't feel like I had been bitten by any bugs,
Why are there so many bags?
Why are mosquitoes the only ones who "spoil" me?
In fact, insect bite dermatitis (papular urticaria) is an allergic disease, both adults and children can get sick due to allergies caused by mosquito bites, and infants and children are more likely to get sick.
The "red envelope" rash on our body is not all bitten by insects, and the insects are likely to only bite once, but inject their own saliva and body fluids into the human skin, which stimulates the body's allergic reaction. If this allergic reaction is not controlled, the rash will spread one after another.
Friends who are prone to "exclusive mosquito bites" often have genetic predisposition, and the surface of the body is easy to emit certain acids or other volatile odors, which stimulate the sense of smell of mosquitoes and attract mosquitoes. Secondly, dark clothes, high body temperature, and sweating are the "favorites" of mosquitoes.
What can be done to prevent it?
After the appearance of "papular urticaria",
The most painful thing is one word - "itch"!
The more itchy, the more you have to scratch, so the more you scratch, the more itchy......
Insect bite dermatitis should avoid scratching to cause local skin infection and exacerbate symptoms. Huang Xinglan, Department of Dermatology, Guangzhou Twelfth People's Hospital, reminds that to prevent insect bite dermatitis:
• Pay attention to personal and environmental hygiene, and keep the living environment ventilated and dry. Commonly used clothes and bedding should be changed and washed frequently, and those who have conditions can be exposed to the sun or dried in a dryer;
• Try to avoid going out to play at the peak of mosquito activity at dusk, avoid going to places with dense woods and lakes, wear light-colored long-sleeved clothes and long socks for outdoor activities, and tighten the cuffs and trousers in places with dense mosquitoes, and spray mosquito spray to prevent mosquito bites.
• In addition, families with pets should pay attention to regular deworming of pets, if parasites are found, they should be dealt with in time, and do not get close to animals whose health status is unknown.
