What should I do if I itch in summer?

Itchy skin in summer is probably caused by summer dermatitis. Dermatitis in summer is mainly due to the heat, high temperature and high humidity in summer, and the radiation increases, resulting in local skin allergic reactions. It can be manifested as small red papules widely distributed all over the body, which can be accompanied by severe itching reaction in severe cases.

Topical calamine lotion and topical glucocorticoid ointment can be used for symptomatic treatment, such as hydrocortisone butyrate ointment, hasidic ointment, perrisone ointment, etc. In addition, because patients are often accompanied by severe itching, they can also take some anti-allergic and antipruritic drugs orally, such as cetirizine, loratadine and mizolastine. The environment needs to be kept cool and dry, which is conducive to the recovery of skin lesions.
