The novel corona virus has created many doubts in the minds of many as they become accustomed to a new life journey. In the meanwhile, in the sky, in the air, there is a feeling of worship, autumn. But there is no escape from the scorching heat. However, cloudy skies and occasional rains are increasing the feeling of heat. Sweat and rain-soaked clothes increase the risk of skin problems, says dermatologist Piyali Chatterjee.

Sweating keeps the body temperature right. So it is better to sweat. Sweating is more in hot and humid weather in West Bengal including Kolkata. Sweating on the affected part of the body increases the risk of skin infections. Sweating is one of the most common skin problems. In medical terms, Ghamachi is called Milliaria, said Piyali Devi. The risk of sweating and itching increases in the scorching heat. So try to stay under the fan.

Many people apply thick powder to prevent sweating. This increases the risk of other skin infections, including itching. As a result of applying the powder, the glands from which sweat is excreted, excess sweat accumulates or dirt accumulates with the powder, the mouth is closed. As a result, sweat cannot come out. Sweat begins to accumulate in the sweat glands. Then it comes out as a rash or rash.

Excessive itching should be treated with the advice of a dermatologist. There is a risk of increasing the problem by applying powder. There is a risk of secondary infection due to nail scratching, said Piyali. Calaminol lotion should be applied to reduce itching and inflammation of the skin. The scorching heat of the month of Bhadra increases the risk of skin problems, so you need to drink more water at this time, said Piyali.

Not only is it hotter this summer, but there is also a risk of infection with other germs, including fungi. As a rule, after bathing twice a day and wearing cotton clothes, the skin stays good. Sweating in the scorching heat can cause black, brown or white spots on the skin. Most of these can cause acne. In medical terms, acne is called pityriasis versicolor. Versicular is named after the color of the skin.

Acne mainly affects young people. In most cases, fungal infections are more common in sweat-soaked bodies. So do not let the sweat accumulate. However, taking steroids too often, if you have diabetes, as a side effect of a serious illness and suffering from malnutrition can lead to acne infections. Acne mainly affects the face, neck, neck and back. In case of acne infection, you must consult a dermatologist for proper treatment. Acne usually has no pain or irritation. But any other infection with acne can cause itching and irritation.

Sweating in the body increases the risk of infection. Even if the clothes get wet in the rain and dry, it gets rashes. So do not let the sweat accumulate. When you get wet in the rain, you should return home and take a bath with mild soap. Antifungal drugs should be applied to the affected area and antifungal shampoo should be used to get rid of the germs that are lurking on the scalp. In this cowardly atmosphere, everyone should have a separate soap and towel.

There is also a risk of spreading bacterial infections of the skin from towels and combs. So everyone should use different things. The scorching heat increases the risk of skin rashes and other problems, including allergies. Tight underwear and clothing can also cause skin infections, said Piyali Chatterjee.

If you have a skin infection, do not increase the risk by buying steroid creams on your own. Many people use steroid creams to whiten their complexion. Although it looks shiny temporarily, the skin is very damaged. Remember the best way to keep skin healthy is cleanliness. Bathing in light cotton clothes and regular gentle soap is the real key to keeping the skin glowing. Eat nutritious food and adhere to cleanliness to keep the skin well.
