It's cold and crazy, be careful to bubble out these "hot spring diseases"!

As the weather gets colder and colder, hot springs are everyone's first choice. Soaking in warm spring water in cold weather is really comfortable and relaxing ~

Soaking in a bath can relieve fatigue, soothe tense mood, soften skin cutin, make blood circulation better, etc., but the wrong hot springs may also bubble up terrible hot spring skin diseases, so how to prevent it? There are three main reasons for the infection of soaking in water:

1. Poor immunity: people with weak body and weak resistance, such as cold patients, diabetics, atopic dermatitis patients, women before and after menstruation, and people taking antibiotic drugs, such as anti-acne drugs, are all in low immunity, and these ethnic groups may be infected.

2. Broken skin on the skin surface: For example, people who have Hong Kong foot and are erosive will have cracks at the foot seams, and at this time, the existing wound may be infected by bacteria. Or there is a small broken skin at the joint next to the nail, which may also cause bacteria to invade.

3. Invisible wound: If the skin is soaked in hot spring water for too long, the skin surface may wrinkle, and if there is a hidden wound before, such as herpes near the mouth or herpes on the reproductive organs, it may deteriorate gradually. Be careful of these diseases when soaking in hot springs

1. Skin fungal infection (Hong Kong foot) and virus warts < P > Humid environment is the favorite of pathogenic bacteria, and it will be easy to win the bid if one's immunity is poor when soaking in hot springs. Therefore, it is best not to go to public places to soak in hot springs before the symptoms are completely cured, so as not to infect others.

2. Hot spring folliculitis

After soaking in water, I found a little red spots like acne below my neck, which may be hot spring folliculitis, mainly due to the bacterial infection of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in hot spring water.

This kind of bacteria often appears in hot spring pools, swimming pools and even bathtubs at home with high humidity, pH higher than 7.8 and chlorine content lower than .5ppm. In addition to taking a bath, use a public bath sponge or towel that is not fully disinfected. If there is a wound on your body, bacteria may take the opportunity to enter; On the first or second day after soaking in soup or swimming, itchy and painful red papules or pustules began to appear, even accompanied by inflammatory blush. ?

However, there is no need to worry too much about the infection of hot spring folliculitis. Most people with normal immune function usually have mild symptoms and can recover themselves without treatment. However, if the symptoms are serious, such as fever, headache and tiredness, antibiotics are needed.

3. Dermatitis in Hot Springs

Beitou's unique green sulfur spring is deeply loved by soup friends because it contains trace radioactive element "radium". However, the doctor reminded that the sulfur content of green sulfur spring is six times that of tap water, the chlorine content is 15 times, and the pH value (pH) is only 1 ~ 2, which is a strong acid and easy to bubble out "hot spring dermatitis".

If the skin has been in a state before soaking in water, such as eczema, minor wounds, etc., the skin's defense against the outside world is poor, and you are used to rubbing your body during soaking in water, or standing at the hot spring outlet to impact your skin, it may cause skin injuries. At this time, soaking in the high-temperature and acidic green sulfur spring will produce a reaction similar to chemical burns. Usually, after a few hours, the skin will begin to ache and break, and ulcers like needles or rice grains will appear, which will easily cause bacterial invasion and cause bacterial infection.

The doctor reminded that acidic water is more corrosive to the skin at high temperature, so it is best not to exceed 4 degrees when soaking in green sulfur spring. Moreover, after soaking in hot springs, especially the sulfur mineral springs with strong * * *, it is best to rinse them again with clear water to avoid damage to the skin caused by * * * substances.

after drying your body, it is recommended to apply moisturizing lotion immediately to lock up the moisture in your skin to avoid the aggravation of itching symptoms in winter.

4. Fire-induced erythema?

If the skin is exposed to a heat source (above 4 degrees) for a long time, whether it is a hot spring bath, a warm bag or an electric heater, it will easily lead to long-term thermal expansion of blood vessels, resulting in inflammation of surrounding tissues, and the inflamed parts will spread out along the blood vessels, forming a reticular "fire-induced erythema".

at first, the red reticular erythema will precipitate with time and gradually turn into black spots; Even if it is not treated, it usually takes 3 ~ 6 months for the reticular black spots to fade away. Ways to prevent mold from getting on the upper body by soaking in water:

1. It is better to bathe and disinfect before soaking in water, which is more hygienic.

2. Apply a thin layer of cream before soaking to give your skin an extra layer of protection.

3. It's best to put a clean towel on the seat when bathing, and don't directly touch the chair or stone.

4. Don't use towel products provided by hot spring operators, so as to avoid contact with unclean products by mistake and infection with bacteria.

5. The epidermis of the skin is inflamed, swollen and even broken, so it is not suitable for soaking in water.

6. People who are taking antibiotics, cold medicine, diabetes, atopic dermatitis, athlete's foot and onychomycosis should not be ruined.

7. people with weak resistance before and after menstruation, it is best not to be ruined.

8. After soaking in water, you can use some antibacterial bath lotion or something sterilized to clean things that may contain bacteria.
