Camping is fun, but also pay attention to safety and hygiene. If you accidentally get bitten by a mosquito, red bumps may appear on your skin. This "red bump" is not only itchy and obvious, but even mild burning and stinging.
However, some people will have more and more rashes, and even blisters, bullae, and brown pigmentation will be left after the rash subsides, which will fade for a long time, affecting the appearance.
The rash after mosquito bites has certain characteristics, which is generally red, hard to the touch, scattered in distribution, and relatively consistent in size. Because different people have different immune responses, the rash presentation also varies to a certain extent. The reaction to the rash after it has subsided also varies from person to person, with some people leaving no traces and others developing more pigmentation. Most of the time, these rashes induce significant itching, but a small percentage of people do not experience significant itching.
The treatment of papular urticaria is aimed at reducing itching, controlling skin inflammation, shortening the duration of the rash, controlling systemic allergic reactions, etc., and also treating concomitant infection.
In addition, calamine lotion and Chonglou detoxification tincture can also relieve itching and relieve scratching. Topical antibiotic ointments can prevent secondary infection of scratched skin. The above medications are recommended for everyone when they go camping.
Of course, if you don't have papular urticaria, you have to use the drugs mentioned above. For a small amount of local rash, topical drugs can be used to relieve itching; For more widespread rashes, oral medications can be added; If the patient does not get relieved after taking the drug orally, and the rash is still increasing, then it is necessary to go to the hospital.
Some rashes are so itchy that we scratch them unconsciously, and the rash has a certain amount of edema, and the rash is often scratched. This condition often occurs in children.
Papular urticaria resolves on its own, with a natural course of about two weeks. In a small number of patients, due to improper management or personal physical problems, the lesion may become chronic and the course of the disease may be prolonged. If the skin is scratched, there is a risk of developing pigmentation. If the rash subsides and there is still pigmentation, it may take longer for it to subside.
A friend wants to ask, what should I do if I am bitten by a mosquito and itch uncomfortably without any medicine while camping?
I'd rather pinch it locally than scratch. In addition, itching can be relieved by local cooling and cold compresses.
