It’s time to take a bath in the cold weather! But in these 7 situations, let’s give it up first.

My favorite thing to do in winter, apart from eating hot pot, is probably the most popular thing to do! Taiwan is located in the subtropical zone, so bathing in hot springs is suitable all year round. Just like some people use hot springs as a bath, to relieve muscles and bones, or to relieve pain, it is not strange to go to hot springs every day.

However, there are still some precautions when taking a bath in winter. Because the temperature is low in winter, it is very warm to soak in a hot spring pool, so it is easy to forget the time and go over time without knowing it, which may cause danger; there are also many People believe that hot springs can cure skin diseases. In order to retain the "curative effect", they are reluctant to rinse with water after bathing in the hot springs, or they neglect to rinse the skin folds. Only a day or two later will they notice that the skin is red and itchy, causing acne. Dermatitis and allergic dermatitis.

Dermatologist Zhao Zhaoming said that sulfur is a mineral, and excessive concentration may cause chemical burns on the skin. Generally, when you soak in sulfur hot springs, the sulfur concentration in the spring water will not cause chemical burns. It causes chemical burns on the skin, but if it is not washed away, it will remain in the skin folds, such as the armpits or the back of the knees. Because of the high temperature generated by being clamped for a long time, chemical burns are particularly likely to occur, such as in young children. The skin of children and children is relatively thin and tender, with poor protection, and is more likely to cause dermatitis. Therefore, after bathing in the hot spring, be sure to wash away the remaining hot spring minerals on the body with clean water. For people with sensitive skin, it is recommended to wash it off with shower gel. .

Although bathing in hot springs is good, not everyone is suitable for bathing in hot springs. If you have high blood pressure or heart disease, you should not bath in hot springs to avoid shock.

In addition, Zhao Zhaoming also pointed out that if you have scars on your body after surgery or people with keloids, it is best not to soak in hot springs because the skin scars will easily itch after soaking; For example, there will be pressure, so you need to pay special attention to it.

Elderly people and people with allergies should also try to avoid bathing in hot springs. If you really want to bathe, don’t bathe for too long. It’s best to soak for 5 to 10 minutes, then get up and rub gently. Apply a layer of water-based moisturizer, then rinse with water, and then go in for a bath. On the one hand, it avoids contaminating the hot springs, and on the other hand, it moisturizes the skin.

A special reminder is that if you have wounds on your skin, do not soak in hot springs. Zhao Zhaoming shared that a woman with athlete's foot was admitted to the outpatient clinic. She ignored a small wound between the toes of her left foot. After soaking in soup for two or three times, the toes were not dried, resulting in cellulitis.

Even if there are no wounds, after soaking in the soup, remember to wipe the water between your fingers and toes. In fact, wiping with a towel may not be completely dry. It is recommended to use a hair dryer to remove it completely. Blow the spaces between your fingers and toes. The drying effect will be better than a towel, but remember not to blow too close to avoid burning the skin with the hot air.
