Xiaomei, whom I met in a singing contest, came to see me one day because of contact dermatitis.
Xiaomei sent me a selfie after visiting the park.
Xiaomei, a clerk, met me in a singing contest. We have a good relationship. We usually have WeChat contact. One day, she suddenly sent me a photo and asked me what was going on. Later, after chatting, I learned that Xiaomei had a lot of red papules on her face after going to the park with friends on weekends, which was very itchy. I looked at the photos she sent me, and I said, "You should have contact dermatitis." Xiaomei was surprised and asked me for leave in the afternoon: "Dermatitis? Does it matter? I am really afraid that I will be disfigured at this moment. "
It turned out to be caused by mite allergy and photosensitivity.
I comforted her and asked Xiaomei to do an allergen test first. The test results are: facial dermatitis mite (dust mite, house dust mite)+photosensitivity (ultraviolet ray)+. The inspection report shows that Xiaomei is allergic to mites and light. As long as she avoids allergens and cooperates with drugs, it is much easier to treat. So I prescribed levocetirizine, an antihistamine, and calamine for external use to relieve itching. If the itching symptoms are obvious, you can add desonide ointment after washing your face in the morning and evening.
A week later, Xiaomei came for a follow-up visit. She said that after the precautions and medication I explained, the effect was obvious. The original rash gradually eased, and now it has basically returned to normal. Xiaomei also said that after knowing that she was allergic to mites and ultraviolet rays, she went back to change her bedding and paid more attention to family hygiene. I feel better about my allergic symptoms. Before leaving, I once again warned Xiaomei to avoid contact with allergens, exercise properly and enhance her immunity.
To prevent contact dermatitis, try to avoid contact with allergens.
It is the key to treat and prevent contact dermatitis to look for allergens first and avoid contact with such substances. The ultraviolet ray in summer is stronger, how to prevent oneself from being allergic? This question is actually a question often asked by many people who are allergic to ultraviolet rays.
Being in an outdoor environment with strong ultraviolet rays for a long time requires attention to sun protection. Both physical and chemical sun protection are necessary. If itching is unbearable, try not to scratch directly with your hands, just dip a clean cotton swab in normal saline. In addition, I also warned Xiaomei, because her allergic source also includes mite allergy, so we should also pay attention to keeping the skin and home environment clean, especially the quilt. Eliminate mites as much as possible, pay attention to skin moisturizing and try to work and rest normally, which will help reduce the occurrence of contact dermatitis.
Skin is the first barrier between us and the outside world, and it is also the organ that is most prone to problems. Seek medical attention in time when you feel uncomfortable. Xiaomei is lucky to have a doctor friend like me to consult, so when your skin has problems, you should first see a doctor.
After infection with dermatitis, in addition to maintaining an optimistic attitude, strengthening exercise and developing good working and living habits, you should also actively go to regular hospitals for medical treatment and use drugs rationally under the guidance of doctors, instead of using drugs privately based on personal experience or online information.
