Pain of itching in summer

Pain of itching in summer, prickly heat rash

My friend is very afraid of summer. He likes winter very much, because the itching in summer makes him suffer a lot. He cannot bear the pain of this itching. He always tells us – “How can I get rid of this itching – I will reward the one who can tell me”. We send him to the doctor.

The doctor said -

In the heat, red rashes appear on the body. They itch, burn and cause an irritating sensation. It is also called prickly heat rash in English. In medical science, it is called miliaria.

Children are more affected by this. Because their body cannot easily adapt to excessive temperature and their sweat glands get blocked easily. Children get more rashes on their face, head, groin and neck. When sweat accumulates due to excessive sweating and the sweat glands get blocked, rashes appear.

Among the elderly, Parkinson's disease patients and those who take diuretics and tranquilizers are also more likely to have this problem. If we want to live a healthy life, we also want to be free from rashes.

The doctor said - there is also a chance in medical science to get rid of the pain of sweating in summer - 

1)    Sweat should not be allowed to accumulate too much on the body. Therefore, sweaty clothes should be changed frequently. Clothes should be worn that allow air to circulate and sweat does not stick to the skin. Wearing cotton, comfortable and light-colored loose clothes dries the sweat quickly.

2)    During summer, petroleum jelly or any oil-based cream lotion should not be applied to the skin. This further clogs the mouth of the sweat glands. 

3)    If it is very hot and you sweat a lot, quickly return home and sit in front of a fan or AC. Then take off your sweaty clothes and take a shower in normal temperature water. If necessary, you can take a shower two or three times in such heat. Children sweat a lot, so you can bathe them several times or sponge them with a cloth soaked in plain water. Do not close the house, open the windows and doors to let the air circulate.

4)    Calamine lotion will help reduce itching and redness. Camphor or menthol cools the skin and helps in healing the rash. Prickly heat powder contains these. But if you use too much powder, it can accumulate and block the sweat glands again. So use it in moderation as per your need.

Try to get rid from this - to lead a healthy life.

Lead a healthy life 123, history of umbrellas

Umbrella Info Almost every day I walk or climb stairs or do some light exercise in front or inside the house at some point of the day in hopes to lead a healthy life .  A few days ago, on the pretext of walking, I went down the stairs at around 8/9 in the morning. It is drizzling rain, there is almost no one anywhere, only for duty one can go out if he wants - such is the situation, - so instead of going outside, I walk lightly in the car parking area and looking around. Suddenly someone (a stranger to me) came out for duty, formal look with suit-coat. Until he was under the roof I thought he might get into a car in the parking lot. But later I saw that he started walking in the rain - going to the gate and his clothes getting wet. Not in a hurry - walking at a normal pace! I wondered - "Why isn't he using an umbrella?" Then I thought in my mind to stop him and hand over a small folding umbrella ! But unfortunately I didn't know - I would see something like th...

Pandemic Corona, Influenza and Our Fears 21st Century's Pandemic - “Covid-19 Pandemic” When I was a child, I heard stories about the horrors of epidemics of some diseases including plague and smallpox etc. In this era, we experienced the ” Covid-19 pandemic ”. Many days have passed and we are still surviving after largely defeating Covid-19. But we have not yet overcome the fear. Whenever I see a patient with a cold, the thought of staying away still comes to mind. Any disease is painful, but even then if that disease is contagious - then there is no point, we are completely terrified and lose our sense of direction. Everyone around us becomes more restless than the patient. I am telling the story of my experience during Corona ----- I had just recovered from influenza . It made me suffer a lot. But the fear of Corona surpassed all physical suffering. I myself got scared and sprayed sanitizer all over the house. Seeing that, my housekeeper fled on the pretext of illness. I also d...
