The rainy season is coming, be careful of the "mold" of the body

After entering the rainy season, the weather also becomes hot and muggy, and the humidity in the air is increasing, which provides an opportunity for viruses that rely on humid, high-temperature growth environments. Therefore, in the summer, especially in the rainy season, various skin diseases, gastrointestinal diseases and respiratory diseases will follow. Zhu Xinyi, director of the Health Management Center of the Zhongda Hospital affiliated to Southeast University, and Yang Haijing, attending physician of the Department of Dermatology, reminded that in the summer, it is necessary to maintain a dry, relatively comfortable environment at a relatively comfortable temperature, so as not to let bacteria breed and spend a healthy summer.

In the rainy season, dermatitis comes to make trouble

According to Yang Haijing, attending physician of the Department of Dermatology of CUHK Hospital, the dermatology clinic has recently received many patients who come to the clinic due to skin itching, and they have a common feature, that is, erythema and papules suddenly appear on the arms and legs, and the itching is unbearable for a while. Most of these patients are concentrated in the elderly population, but there are also a small number of middle-aged people, accounting for about 10% of the daily outpatient visits. In fact, this is the summer dermatitis at work. This disease generally occurs in environments with high temperatures and high humidity, and the typical symptom is that erythema and papules will appear inexplicably on the body, and it will be very itchy. At this time, some patients will scratch hard or use some improper methods to irritate the skin. However, this will not only not relieve the itching, but will also aggravate the condition.

Yang Haijing's attending physician suggested that you can wear some loose clothes in the summer, and do not stay in this high temperature and humidity environment for a long time, if necessary, you can blow a blow air conditioner to keep your body in a dry, relatively comfortable environment. If you only have some mild symptoms, you can try using calamine lotion to rub the itchy area. If the symptoms of itching are very serious, after wiping the drug, it cannot be relieved by itself, and you should go to the hospital as soon as possible.

Wear jewelry in summer and be careful of contact dermatitis

Summer also need to be vigilant against contact dermatitis, because the summer body sweats a lot, and women wear necklaces or men wear watches and belts of metal buckles may contain a metal element called nickel, these metals encounter sweat, the nickel component may be dissolved, attached to the surface of the skin, and then there will be erythema, papules and itching and other symptoms.

Doctors recommend that long-term wearing of jewelry in the summer must be cleaned and disinfected regularly, and jewelry such as pure gold and sterling silver and natural gemstones should be worn as much as possible, while less alloy, K gold, gold-plated silver and other jewelry should be worn. When exercising, bathing, and sleeping, it is best to remove jewelry such as necklaces and earrings to prevent the invasion of jewelry such as sweat.

Beware of "mildew" diseases in the rainy season

Zhu Xinyi, director of the Health Management Center of CUHK Hospital, pointed out that after the arrival of the rainy season, there will be many mold infection diseases, such as fungal vaginitis, respiratory fungal infection, mold pneumonia and so on. In addition, the hot and humid weather in summer will also accelerate the deterioration of food, and after accidental ingestion, you may also suffer from digestive system diseases, manifested as acute gastroenteritis.

Experts recommend that in the summer to keep clothes dry, it is best to wear some cotton clothing, easy to absorb sweat. At the same time, it is also necessary to pay attention to ventilation, and the indoor temperature is controlled below 26 degrees, because the growth temperature of mold is generally above 28 degrees. If there are some mild gastrointestinal adverse reactions due to the accidental consumption of spoiled food, you can choose Huoxiang Zhengqi water. However, if there is a serious gastrointestinal reaction, such as an increase in the number of stools or vomiting and abdominal pain, etc., it is not possible to use the drug casually, and it should be sought in time to avoid missing the best time for treatment.
