In Itchy Wounds: Avoid Scratches and Scrubs

 In Itchy Wounds: Avoid Scratches and Scrubs

Friend, do you have a skin wound that does not heal? Is it too itchy and you always scratch it? It can be Eczema or Neurodermatitis.

Eczema (atopic dermatitis) is often accompanied by allergies or asthma. The rashes come out spontaneously. It is more common in adolescents aged 30 and under.

Neurodermatitis is a condition in which our own scratching causes its wound to worsen. It can start with just a rash on the skin due to insect bites, allergies or eczema. With repeated scratching it will hurt. Stress adds to a person's scratching.

If you have a sore or rash on your skin, see a doctor or dermatologist first. In addition to the medication your doctor prescribes, here's what you should avoid: 3Ks are not allowed: hand, scrub and scrub. This is the advice of Doctor, a dermatologist.

Here are some more tips:

1. No matter how itchy, do not scratch. The more you scratch, the more it will hurt and itch.

2. Ice can be added when there is too much itching. Cold water can also be added.

3. When the skin is dry (dry skin), you can apply moisturizer or oil 2-3 times a day.

4. Use mild soap without perfume.

5. Choose a soft or cotton cloth so as not to scratch the skin.

6. If you have dark skin, do not rub it. When you rub the skin, it becomes thicker and darker. Tanning is the skin's reaction to scratching.

7. Wear gloves at night to prevent injury due to scratching.

8. If you have allergies, avoid things or foods that are allergic.

9. Reduce stress. When you are stressed you scratch more.

10. If the itching is severe, you can take an anti-allergy pill. Drink it at night (because it makes you drowsy) and drink it only occasionally.

11. Remember: Do not scratch and injure yourself. Do not scratch. Suffer first. After 2 weeks the itching will be reduced and your skin will heal.
