1, causes of skin itching in summer

(1) Take a bath

In hot and sweaty summer, many people are used to taking several baths a day. However, under the friction during bathing and the alkaline effect of shower gel, the cuticle of the skin keeps falling off, which leads to the loss of the original protective effect of the skin, and the skin will itch if it is stimulated a little. In fact, taking a bath once a day in summer is enough. When taking a bath in summer, try to take a bath with warm water. You don't have to rub your skin excessively when you take a bath in summer, which can effectively eliminate the problem of skin itching in summer, thus solving the problem of skin itching in summer.

(2) Water shortage

The reason of itchy skin in summer is lack of water. Most people like to stay in air-conditioned rooms in summer, but the skin will become dry under the action of air conditioning, and skin itching will occur in the case of extreme water shortage. If the skin is itchy due to air conditioning, you can put a basin of water or an air humidifier indoors to ensure that the indoor air is moist. Drinking more water every day can effectively relieve skin itching in summer.

(3) Allergy

The causes of itchy skin in summer are solar dermatitis and seasonal allergy. Many people will have itchy rashes in summer, but their skin will stop itching immediately in autumn. Solar dermatitis is generally caused by long-term sun exposure in spring and summer, because the skin itching caused by UVB can be calmed and anti-inflammatory with aloe gel, and a sun umbrella can be used when going out to effectively prevent skin itching in summer.

(4) mites

In the hot summer, every family puts on a mat, and some people's skin will itch after touching the mat. Not only that, but also red pimples will appear when the skin is itchy. These are all because there are mites in the mat. The seam of the mat is the best place for mites to parasitize. When these mites bite on everyone's skin, they will have red pimples and itchy skin.

Countermeasures: the newly replaced summer sleeping mat needs to be exposed to the sun to ensure that mites living in the past can disappear through the exposure to the sun. Scrubbing the mat with clean towels and warm water before going to bed every day can effectively prevent skin itching caused by mites in summer.

(5) Fungi

It's hot in summer, and the humidity of towels will breed fungi. After using the towel, fungi enter the skin by wiping, causing skin itching. Faced with this problem, towels should be soaked and disinfected with boiling water every two days and placed in a dry and ventilated place, which can effectively inhibit the growth of fungi on towels, thus causing itchy skin in summer.

Skin itching in summer is an allergy caused by external substances, such as strong alkaline soap, chemical fiber products, disinfectants, disinfectants, deodorants, fuels and other irritating substances. When using soap, you can use weakly acidic soap.
