Can I smoke if I have skin allergies?

Skin allergies are quite common in our daily life. When skin allergies occur, they often lead to the appearance of some skin diseases. For patients with skin allergies, it is best to quit smoking, because the stimulation of smoke will cause the skin allergies to worsen, which is not conducive to the effect of treatment and is not conducive to daily care. Tobacco contains a lot of toxic substances, and these toxic substances can easily cause adverse stimulation to the skin.

Can I smoke if I have skin allergies?

Skin allergies are also called "sensitive" skin. From a medical point of view, skin allergy mainly refers to when the skin is exposed to various stimuli such as adverse reactions to cosmetics, chemicals, pollen, certain foods, polluted air, etc., causing abnormal phenomena such as redness, itching, peeling and allergic dermatitis. Sensitive skin can be said to be unstable skin, a skin that is always on high alert. Pay special attention to its care.

The main ingredients of cigarettes include nicotine, tar and carbon monoxide. One of the causes of skin allergies is allergy to chemical elements, and nicotine is a heterocyclic compound in the Solanaceae family, so if you are allergic to nicotine, you should not smoke.

We should also pay attention to the following points.

1. Maintain good living, eating and daily habits. In terms of diet, you should eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, and have a balanced diet. Pay attention to eating more fresh fruits and vegetables rich in vitamin C, as well as foods rich in vitamin B.

2. Clean your skin properly. Because people's skin types are different, the cleaning methods will also be different. People with "sensitive" skin should use warm water to clean their skin more often. In particular, we would like to remind everyone that in areas where pollen is flying in the spring, you should try to reduce the chances of going out to avoid pollen dermatitis and various skin diseases.

3. Avoid all kinds of allergenic and irritating foods, such as fish, shrimp, strong tea, coffee, alcohol, etc.

4. Avoid various external stimuli, such as washing with hot water, violent scratching, excessive scrubbing, etc. Actions such as washing with hot water will convert itching stimulation into pain stimulation, which will eventually lead to local skin hyperplasia, hypertrophy and infiltration, and nutritional changes, which will aggravate the itching. Such a vicious cycle will inevitably make the skin disease gradually worse.

5. Use cosmetics with caution. The chemical ingredients contained in cosmetics can irritate the skin. Improper use of cosmetics can damage the natural protective tissue of the skin's surface.

Generally speaking, people who are allergic to nicotine should not smoke, otherwise it will cause skin allergies. Other people can smoke, but it is not recommended to smoke after skin allergies because cigarettes contain many irritating ingredients, which are not good for human health and the recovery speed of skin allergies. At the same time, we should also pay attention to maintaining good living and eating habits and other matters.
