It has already rotted! After a 3-year-old boy went to a "water park"... the end of playing in water is dermatology?, Opening the child's clothes, temperature | fruit | boy
Coming out of the plum blossom and colliding with falling into the ambush, Hangzhou issued an orange high-temperature warning, and the temperature has soared to 40 degrees. In such hot weather, being able to soak in water and play with it is one of the few heatstroke relief projects.
Playing in water may be enjoyable, but if not taken seriously, one may end up in the hospital. Recently, the Dermatology Department of Hangzhou First People's Hospital has received many patients with skin diseases. After detailed inquiries, many of them were caused by not paying attention while playing in water. Doctors remind you to pay more attention when playing in water in summer, otherwise the end of playing in water may be in dermatology.
Returning from playing in the water, my body is covered in blisters
A week ago, 3-year-old Guo Guo was carried by his family to the Children's Dermatology Department of Hangzhou First People's Hospital. Dr. Bu Zhangyu, the deputy director of the dermatology department at the first hospital in the city, opened his clothes and saw large purple red pustules on Guoguo's body and legs. These pustules were densely packed together, particularly prominent, and he also had a low fever.
According to Guoguo's mother, a week ago she took Guoguo to the temporary "water amusement park" next to her home to play in the water. Not long after returning home, I found some red bumps on the legs of Guoguo. At first, I didn't take it seriously and applied some calamine lotion that I used to use when I had skin allergies. But the next day, she noticed that there were more and more red spots and blisters on Guoguo's body and thighs, which soon turned into large blisters and even caused a fever. She quickly brought Guoguo to see a doctor.
After receiving the diagnosis, Bu Zhangyu conducted a detailed examination of the fruit and found that most of the pustules had already ulcerated. It was preliminarily determined that he had "pustular ulcer". In order to further clarify the cause, Guoguo underwent blood routine and pus culture tests, and the results showed an increase in white blood cells and a large amount of Staphylococcus aureus, confirming that Guoguo was suffering from pustules. So, after 3 days of symptomatic treatment, his body temperature returned to normal. After a week of follow-up, his skin lesions also significantly recovered.
This type of pathogen easily hides in public water play areas
Bu Zhangyu introduced that pustular ulcer is mainly an acute skin purulent inflammation caused by Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus hemolyticus. It is more common in children aged 1-7 with relatively low immunity and is an infectious disease that often occurs in the hot and humid summer and autumn seasons. It is usually caused by direct or indirect contact with patients with pustules, leading to the appearance of pustules.
Pustular pustules are more common in exposed areas such as the head, face, and limbs due to their contagious nature. In situations like fruit and fruit, it is very likely that the disinfection of the water playing area is not thorough, coupled with less clothing and more exposed areas in summer, and there are people who have also played with such bacteria, which may lead to infection.
Pustular ulcer is a common disease in pediatric dermatology, and the treatment difficulty is not high. However, if not actively treated, it can also cause serious damage to the physical health of the child. There is a severe case of Staphylococcal scald like skin syndrome, which can also be life-threatening.
Bu Zhangyu said that pustules often occur in children. It is recommended that children take preventive measures and avoid contact with the affected child or contaminated clothing. If they go swimming or playing in water, it is recommended to go to a formal place.
Playing in water may be enjoyable, but not suitable for everyone
"Summer is a high incidence season for skin diseases, and there are many patients who suffer from skin diseases due to improper water play." Bu Zhangyu said that skin diseases caused by bacterial infections, such as pustules, can be transmitted upon contact after ulceration. Children like Guoguo often have hypersensitivity on their flat skin, and their skin barrier is damaged, making them more susceptible to infection. In addition, fungal infections in the skin layer that are prone to occur in summer, including tinea cruris, athlete's foot, and gray nails, are also easily transmitted through slippers and towels. In summer, while playing with water, the skin will be exposed to a hot and humid environment for a long time, exacerbating some non communicable skin diseases, such as atopic dermatitis and eczema, which are more common in children. Adults with psoriasis and other conditions are not suitable for long-term soaking in water. Recently, there have been many people who have sunburned due to playing in water. Many people believe that soaking in water will not expose them to the sun, but little do they know that the refraction and scattering of light in water are more severe. Therefore, swimming without protection is more likely to cause sunburn.
Bu Zhangyu reminds us to pay attention to the following aspects when playing in water during summer: first, do not play in water sources that are contaminated. Secondly, it is important to avoid wearing damp clothes for extended periods of time. After playing with water, it is important to clean and dry the body in a timely manner to prevent the growth of bacteria. In addition, for those who already suffer from infectious skin diseases such as pustules and fungal infections, it is advisable not to enter the water to avoid infecting others.
Finally, it is worth mentioning that it is currently hot summer and the ultraviolet rays are very strong. When playing outdoors, do not be deceived by the coolness of the surface, and be sure to do a good job of sun protection.
