It's spring, what's the reason for itching?

Spring is a very beautiful season. Everything comes back to life in this season. Many plants have sprouted tender green buds, and flowers are blooming one after another. Although the weather in spring is not as dry, the blooming of many flowers can make many people with allergies very sad. So now that spring has arrived, what is the reason for itching on the body? Let me introduce it to you today.

Generally speaking, there are two types of skin itching. 1. Internal causes: Visceral functional or organic diseases, especially patients with diabetes and jaundice often cause itchy skin, which may be related to dry skin, increased bile salts, bile pigments, urea or other metabolites in the skin. Tumors, high bile pigments, leukemia, lymphosarcoma, etc. also have symptoms of itchy skin. People with senile cerebral arteriosclerosis, mental stress, depression or anxiety may have systemic or localized itching. In addition, endocrine disorders, lesion infection, diet, drinking, intestinal parasites, pinworms, long-term use of antibiotics, etc. can also cause skin itching.

External factors: sudden changes in temperature, related to climate change in cold seasons. Normally, it may be caused by too hot bedding, sudden heat, cold, vitamin A deficiency, hypothyroidism, xerosis, too many clothes, some people are sensitive to chemical fiber clothing and wool, too alkaline soap powder, soap irritation, and frequent bathing.

1. Diet: Eat less beef, mutton, spicy foods such as onions and garlic, and less high-calorie foods such as chocolate. 2. Exercise: Do not exercise excessively, but exercise in moderation. However, you should take a shower immediately after exercise. The water temperature for bathing should be around 30°. Water temperature that is too high can cause the capillaries on the surface of the skin to dilate, causing serious damage to the skin. After bathing, you can apply some moisturizing skin care products to lock in moisture on the skin surface.

3. Clothing: Do not wear underwear made of synthetic fibers, do not use highly alkaline soaps to take a bath, and take some antihistamines and calcium supplements orally as appropriate. Patients with spring pruritus, especially those with dry skin, can take vitamin A and vitamin B complex, and apply antipruritic and anti-inflammatory ointments topically to prevent secondary infection.

Through the above introduction, I believe everyone has a good understanding of the causes of itching in spring. There are many reasons for this. However, if the itching is unbearable, it is best to go to a regular hospital and seek treatment from a professional doctor. The earlier you get treatment, the sooner you can get rid of the pain.
