Now it is the season of spring and summer alternation, and many people with allergies will have red spots on their hands, which are painful and itchy. So what are these red spots on our hands? How can we take care of our hands properly?
What are the small red spots on our hands?
1. Eczema
Caused by a complex combination of internal and external factors, eczema is an inflammatory reaction of the skin with various types of lesions and a tendency to recur. The cause of the disease is complex and difficult to determine. The symptoms include severe itching and the condition can persist for many years.
2. Urticaria
Urticaria is a localized edema reaction caused by the dilation of small blood vessels in the skin and increased permeability. It is commonly known as "hives". The characteristic feature is the appearance of white or red hives on the skin. The hives can occur suddenly without a specific location, come and go, and cause intense itching. After subsiding, there are no traces left.
3. Scabies
Scabies is a skin disease caused by the infestation of scabies mites (mechanical damage from burrowing tunnels and the irritation from their secretions). It can be transmitted through sexual contact, especially among promiscuous young men and women. The disease spreads rapidly and has been classified by the World Health Organization as a sexually transmitted disease.
Hand care methods:
1. In daily life, patients with hand eczema should try to avoid contact with chemicals and irritating foods to prevent further irritation and infection of the affected area.
2. When cleaning hands, avoid using soap and other alkaline cleaning products, as they can cause more irritation to the skin.
3. Try to maintain a regular daily routine and avoid staying up late, as it can disrupt the body's hormonal balance and have a significant impact on the treatment of eczema.
Friendly reminder: Patients with red spots on their hands should pay attention to their diet in daily life, avoid eating stimulating foods, and maintain a light diet with plenty of vegetables and fruits rich in vitamins.
