Skin ulceration! It’s contagious once it’s touched？ Parents： I just went to …

　　In hot weather

　　Can soak in the water and have fun with it.

　　It is one of the few projects to relieve summer heat.

　　Although playing with water is enjoyable.

　　But if you’re not careful, you may

　　Play yourself into the hospital.

　　Doctor’s reminder

　　Pay more attention to playing with water in summer.

　　Otherwise, the end of playing with water may be dermatology

　　01

　　Return from playing with water

　　Covered with purple pustules.

　　A week ago, the 3-year-old fruit was held by her family and came to the children’s dermatology department of Hangzhou First People’s Hospital.

　　Bu Zhangyu, deputy director of dermatology in the first hospital of the city, saw the fruit after the chief physician opened his clothes.There are huge purple pustules on the body and legs. These pustules are densely packed together, which is particularly conspicuous and has a low fever.

　　According to Guoguo’s mother, she took Guoguo to a temporary building next to her home a week ago."water paradise" to play with water.

　　Soon after I got home, I found some red pimples on my legs. I didn’t take them seriously at first, so I put on some calamine lotion that I used to have when I was allergic to skin.

　　But the next day, she found outThere were more and more erythema and blisters on the body and thighs of the fruit, which soon turned into blisters and started to burn, so I quickly took the fruit to see a doctor.

　　After receiving the consultation, Bu Zhang made a detailed examination of the fruit and found that most pustules had festered.It was preliminarily determined that he had "impetigo".

　　In order to further clarify the cause, the fruit was examined by blood routine and pus culture. The results showed that:"Leukocytosis" and "a lot of Staphylococcus aureus" confirmed that the fruit suffered from impetigo.

　　Fortunately, after 3 days of symptomatic treatment, his body temperature returned to normal, and after a week of reexamination, his skin lesions also recovered obviously.

　　This pathogen is easy to hide in

　　In public places to play with water

　　impetigo herpetifomisIt occurs in children aged 1-7 with relatively low immunity and is an infectious disease.Often in the sweaty and sultry summer and autumn seasons, it is generally direct or indirect contact with patients with impetigo, leading to pustules.

　　Because impetigo is contagious, it is prone to occur in exposed parts such as head, face and limbs.

　　In the case of Guoguo, it is very likely that the disinfection of the area where the water is played is not thorough, and in addition, in summer, there are fewer clothes and more exposed parts, which just happened to be played by people with this kind of bacteria, and it may be infected like this.

　　03

　　It’s cool to play with water.

　　But not for everyone.

　　"Summer is the high season of skin diseases, and there are not a few patients who suffer from skin diseases because of improper playing with water." Bu Zhangyu said that skin diseases caused by bacterial infection, such as impetigo, can be transmitted upon contact after ulceration. For example, if the skin is allergic at ordinary times and the skin barrier is damaged, it is more likely to be infected.

　　In addition,Fungal infections of the skin layer, such as tinea cruris, tinea pedis and onychomycosis, which are common in summer, are also easily transmitted through slippers and towels.

　　In summer, when playing with water, the skin will be in a hot and humid environment for a long time, which will aggravate some original non-infectious skin diseases, such as atopic dermatitis and eczema, which are common among children.

　　There are also adult psoriasis (psoriasis) and so on, which are not suitable for long-term soaking in water. Recently, there are many people who get sunburned because of playing with water. Many people think that people will not get sunburned if they soak in water, but they don’t know that the refraction and scattering of light in water are more serious, so it is easier to get sunburned if they swim without protection.

　　Doctor’s reminder

　　Pay attention to these aspects when playing with water in summer:First of all, don’t play in the polluted water.

　　Secondly, we should avoid wearing wet clothes for a long time.Wash and dry your body in time after playing with water, so as not to give bacteria a chance to grow.

　　In addition, forPeople who already have infectious skin diseases such as impetigo and fungal infection should try not to go into the water to avoid infecting others.
