How to deal with itchy skin caused by sweating in summer?

The weather is hot in summer. If the skin is severely dehydrated, it will easily cause pruritus. It is the most common symptom of skin diseases. The pain of extreme itching is beyond the experience of normal people and seriously affects daily life. . The preventive measures for pruritus in summer include the following:

1. Eat less irritating food, especially when traveling, to avoid skin diseases caused by acclimatization.

2. Pay attention to the air conditioning temperature, keep the body transparent, and prevent wind and cold from blocking the epidermis.

3. Don’t be overly nervous in work and life during the dog days to avoid skin diseases caused by nervousness.

4. Always take a bath with warm water, especially after sweating profusely, to keep your skin clean. Note that it is forbidden to wash your body with cold water after sweating profusely. In addition, patients should be careful not to scratch in summer to avoid skin damage and aggravating the condition. Drinking more water can also play a good pre-emptive role.

If there are symptoms, simple treatment can be carried out

1. Conduct detailed examination, review the cause, and treat complications in time. Especially for localized itching, attention should be paid to ruling out local factors, such as friction, contact allergies, etc. Use medicine based on syndrome differentiation and treat the symptoms. If it is caused by a systemic disease (such as diabetes), the primary disease should be actively treated.

2. Itchy skin can easily cause irritability. Necessary psychological counseling should be provided to patients to guide them to maintain a relaxed and optimistic mood and treat the disease correctly.

3. Avoid local irritation. Avoid vigorous bathing with hot water, towels, soap, and inappropriate topical medications, as this will wash away the lipid film on the skin surface, dry the skin and aggravate itching. After each bath, appropriately apply lotion, cream, etc. containing a small amount of oil on the areas that often feel itchy, which can effectively relieve itching.

4. For external use, calamine lotion containing antipruritic agents, corticosteroid ointments or creams, and creams containing antipruritic agents can be selected according to the condition.

5. You should develop the habit of drinking water regularly and quantitatively. Human skin is an important "reservoir" for storing water in the body. If people always drink water when they feel thirsty, they will often be in a state of dehydration. Once the human body is dehydrated, it will take water from the skin.

6. Adjust your diet, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables rich in vitamins, and be careful about smoking, alcohol, spicy and other irritating foods.

7. If you are irritated by sweat in summer, you should change your clothes immediately to reduce the irritation to the skin.

8. Pay attention to maintaining emotional stability, regular daily life, proper sleep, and open-mindedness; strengthen exercise to improve the body's disease resistance.

9. When anal itching or vulvar itching occurs, it is advisable to wash with warm water after defecation, not soap. Underwear and underwear should be made of pure cotton, and should be loose and breathable. Avoid wearing rubber, plastic and nylon clothing.

10. Avoid contact with or inhalation of special substances in the environment such as paint, pollen, dust mites, etc.
