Unexpectedly
This young couple came back from the cinema but couldn't help but complain incessantly
Two people are covered in rashes all over their bodies
Itching incessantly
Some places even caught blood
I watched a movie
The little couple scratched and walked into the consultation room
Entering the consultation room of Dr. Zhong Jianbo from the Dermatology Department of the First People's Hospital of Hangzhou, Xiao Chen and Xiao Wu both spat bitter water and said, "Itching! It's so itchy! You can't stop scratching it at once." They kept scratching their arms and backs as they spoke.
Originally, the day before yesterday, Xiao Chen and Xiao Wu went to a cinema to watch a movie. In order to pursue a comfortable viewing experience, the two of them chose a cinema where they could lie down and watch. As the movie was nearing its end, they both felt a slight itching in their lower back and lower back. When they got home, the itching became increasingly severe. The next morning, they discovered a large rash on their back and thighs, and rushed to the hospital for treatment.
After examination, Zhong Jianbo believed that Xiao Chen and Xiao Wu were suffering from the same disease - papular urticaria. This disease, also known as "insect bite dermatitis", is an allergic skin disease caused by insect bites on the skin, which is particularly common in summer and autumn seasons. The patient may have red papules on the skin, which are usually accompanied by blisters at the top. The itching is severe and often accompanied by mild pain.
Fortunately, this papular urticaria can disappear after about a week with proper medication, but it will leave brown marks and take a longer time to resolve.
High incidence in summer and autumn
Doctors remind to take protective measures and personal hygiene
Zhong Jianbo said that there have been a lot of cases like Xiao Chen and Xiao Wu recently, and there are more victims in cinemas and foot wash shops that can "lie down and watch". Firstly, these types of places are generally small in size and lack ventilation. Secondly, the lighting is dim, which can easily lead to inadequate hygiene. In addition, the skin on the reclining seats is exposed more, which can easily leave dandruff and breed insects. However, there are still a few people like these who have both been hit at the same time. "Most people may not necessarily have allergic reactions when bitten by insects, but if they happen to come into contact with people with allergic constitution, it can trigger papular urticaria," said Zhong Jianbo.
There are various reasons that can trigger this type of skin disease. Just a few days ago, Zhong Jianbo treated Mr. Liao, a patient with the same skin disease, who also developed papular urticaria due to being bitten by insects. After ruling out all possibilities, Zhong Jianbo discovered that the source of the disease was actually his workstation, and Mr. Liao shamelessly admitted that his workstation was not very cleaned. Some patients also suffer from papular urticaria because their bedding has not been cleaned for a long time
"In the past, this type of disease often occurred in outdoor activities. In summer, the weather was hot, especially in areas such as grass, trees, and lakes where the air was humid, making it easy for insect bites to occur. Especially after picking activities, the probability of being bitten by mosquitoes was higher. However, now there are also many cases of papular urticaria caused by inadequate indoor environment cleaning. Zhong Jianbo said that the main cause of papular urticaria is allergic reactions caused by insect bites on the skin, and common insects include fleas, mites, and even the most common mosquitoes may be induced.". In the summer and autumn seasons, due to people's thin and exposed clothing, if they are in an indoor environment with inadequate cleanliness, it is also easy to get caught.
To avoid papular urticaria, generally only two things need to be done well: first, protection, and second, hygiene. Zhong Jianbo suggests that when going out or to places such as cinemas in summer, it is best to wear long pants, and if necessary, use insect repellents on exposed skin. In addition, it is necessary to maintain environmental hygiene and wash clothes, bedding, etc. frequently. If you feel itching after being bitten by insects, you should avoid scratching hard, otherwise it can cause skin damage, infection, allergies, and pigmentation, exacerbating the condition.
