What causes itchy skin in summer? what to do?

Skin itching is both an independent disease and a symptom of many diseases. The causes of skin itching in summer are complex and difficult for some people to identify. So what causes skin itching in summer?

Causes of skin itching in summer

1. Diet

In fact, many patients with pruritus suffer from itchy skin due to improper diet. It is true that we often eat some delicious fruits and seafood in summer, but some of these fruits can easily cause skin allergies, so we often have symptoms of itchy skin. Seafood is a food that often causes skin allergies, so it is best to eat less of it.

2. Taking too many showers

In summer, the body often sweats a lot. In fact, the sweat can be removed by just taking a shower. However, many patients often take a shower frequently and rub their skin hard, causing the skin's protective film to fall off and symptoms such as skin itching occur.

3. Environmental causes of skin pruritus

Generally speaking, many people experience itchy skin when exposed to the sun or cold air. Skin itching often occurs in air-conditioned rooms. The weather is hot in summer, so we often stay in air-conditioned rooms. However, long-term use of air conditioning will cause our bodies to lack water, leading to skin itching.

Other common causes include:

1. The most common foods are fish, shrimp, crab and eggs. Secondly, certain spices and condiments can also cause it.

2. There are many drugs (such as penicillin, sulfonamides, furazolidone, serum vaccines, etc.) that can cause skin itching.

3. Infection: including viruses (such as influenza virus, hepatitis virus), bacteria (such as Staphylococcus aureus), fungi and parasites (such as roundworms, etc.).

4. Animal and plant factors (such as insect bites or inhalation of pollen, feathers, dandruff, etc.).

5. Physical factors (such as heat, cold, sunlight, friction and pressure, etc.).

In addition, gastrointestinal diseases, metabolic disorders, endocrine disorders and mental factors can also cause it. Simply taking Western medicine to treat skin itching can only provide temporary control, and cannot completely eradicate it. If you want to completely eradicate it, it is best to choose a special effect product, Yangsuxiao, which is a pure Chinese medicine preparation with no side effects and significant effects!
