Qin Li, leader of the dermatology eczema specialist team, said
During the epidemic, citizens should "wash their hands frequently" and "wash their hands seriously"
It is worth advocating and maintaining good habit
However, we should also master the correct method
Scientific and safe hand washing should be done this way
These people are prone to hand allergies
Since the outbreak of the new coronavirus pneumonia, many citizens have developed the habit of washing hands frequently. As a result, I found that many small red rashes appeared on the back of my hands. They were slightly painful at first, and then extremely itchy.
"Most of them are chronic irritant dermatitis caused by the destruction of the sebum film after frequent hand washing. There are also a few people with allergic dermatitis caused by allergies to disinfectants." Qin Li reviewed 7,090 cases of hand eczema and allergic dermatitis. After analyzing the cause, the patient found that the causes of
sensitization can be roughly divided into three categories:
The first category is citizens who repeatedly spray their hands with alcohol or use hand sanitizer containing antibacterial ingredients. Due to excessive cleaning, the barrier function of the skin is damaged;
The second category is citizens whose skin is already sensitive;
The third category refers to citizens who originally had eczema on their hands. Frequent hand washing or improper use of disinfectant has aggravated the eczema.
There is no need to wash hands and disinfect frequently when staying at home.
During the epidemic prevention and control period, citizens attach great importance to hand hygiene. Soap, hand sanitizer, alcohol, disinfectant, etc. have become daily necessities. "Some people stay at home without going out and wash their hands constantly. It's completely unnecessary."
Tan Li said that anyone who pressed the elevator button, picked up the express delivery, had contact with public facilities or went out to go home should do it first. Take a moment to wash your hands. Stay at home and just wash your hands before eating, after using the toilet, and before eating.
You can use soap or hand sanitizer to wash your hands, and rinse them thoroughly with running water. For people with sensitive skin, it is best to choose weakly acidic or neutral pH cleaning products, such as those containing non-ionic surfactants and moisturizing ingredients such as glycerin, hyaluronic acid and xylitol . Tan Li said that after washing with the "seven-step hand washing method", rinse it under running water.
To prevent the new coronavirus, you should choose 75% alcohol or chlorine-containing disinfectant for hand disinfection, such as 84 disinfectant . The 84 disinfectant sold in supermarkets and pharmacies has been prepared and can be used directly.
"Hand disinfection is not necessary every time." Qin Li said that when you come into contact with public objects and there is no condition to wash your hands with running water, you can use the spray alcohol, alcohol cotton pads or no-rinse antibacterial gel you carry with you to disinfect your hands. Only practitioners in high-risk industries, such as doctors, couriers, etc., need to disinfect their hands after washing their hands under running water.
Qin Li reminded that the skin of children's hands is delicate and it is not recommended to use alcohol and disinfectant for hand disinfection. Just wash your hands with running water.
Apply hand cream immediately after washing your hands.
How can you ensure that you wash your hands frequently and reduce the damage to your skin? Tan Li emphasized that "hand sanitizer and hand cream should coexist." Apply hand cream immediately after washing your hands every time to lock in skin moisture and protect the sebum film.
Is it important to choose hand cream? Tan Li said that it is recommended to choose hand cream containing ceramide , urea, silicone oil , vitamin E and other ingredients, which has the function of protecting the skin barrier. The key point is to apply it after washing your hands. You may not apply it after washing your hands before eating, and then apply it after washing your hands after eating.
When doing housework or disinfecting, wear gloves with cotton inside and rubber outside to reduce the damage to the skin caused by irritants.
