Author:Changjiang Daily Time:2022.06.16
Although it has passed the high -allergic season -spring, even in the midsummer season, some "allergic stars" are still not good. Because allergens are strange, many people have no relationship with the season. Unbearable suffering, some of them choose to "seek medical treatment" on the Internet, but the information searched is diverse and the authenticity is difficult to distinguish.
In order to prevent the "allergic star" falling into the "trap" of anti -allergies, the reporter of the Science and Technology Daily collected some rumors related to treating and preventing allergies to help them pull away the fog and find the truth.
Allergies can be inherited, can the family's medicine itself apply itself? Truth: You need to be diagnosed by a professional doctor for symptomatic treatment
As we all know, allergies are hereditary, so many people will have similar allergies to their families. At this time, some people will feel that since the symptoms of allergies are the same, the same ointment should be effective. Is this idea scientific?

When choosing an external medicine, doctors will choose different types, dosage, and concentrations based on the shape, severity, and location of the rash, which cannot be generalized.
"The medication of special parts such as head and face, palm, foot, and perineum will be special." Wu Lingling said for example, for example, facial can not apply hormone ointment for a long time, because facial hair follicle sebaceous glands are developed, which can easily cause hair follicle skin diseases Especially patients with hormone -containing ointment for a long time may have severe hormone dependent dermatitis after discontinuation.
"Therefore, the saying that 'family's medicine can also apply" is wrong. "Wu Lingling reminded that allergic skin diseases need to go to regular hospitals, and they are treated symptomatically after a professional doctor diagnosed.
Is it possible to eat certain foods to prevent allergies? Truth: No food can directly prevent allergies
It is rumored that foods such as carrots, onions, enoki mushrooms, red dates, and western blue flowers can prevent allergies, which seems to make the "allergic star" see hope. However, Liu Ruiling, deputy chief physician of the Department of Perverted Reporting of Tianjin Medical University General Hospital, said that there is no food to prevent allergies.
According to Liu Ruiling, the most common food allergies belong to the allergic reaction of type I and is allergic to aliens. It is an allergic response that is mediated by IgE antibodies and involved in multiple cytokines. For example, if someone is allergic to peaches, then the person's immune cells will mark it as "enemy" and produce corresponding antibodies after contacting peaches; combine antibodies and large cells, so that normal hypertrophic cells will become allergic hypertrophy cell. When this person eats peaches again, large allergenic cells will break, and on the one hand, it will release their inherent ingredients, such as histamine; on the other hand Then, it quickly leads to adverse reactions such as skin itching (or winding groups), tears, sneezing, asthma, etc., and even symptoms such as panic, suffering, blood pressure, and severe life.
Although the anti -allergic foods listed online are not bad for health, they cannot cut off the above processes quickly and completely, so it cannot produce the effect of preventing allergies.
"Vitamin C, vitamin D, anthocyanins, etc. may have some help to prevent allergies, but related valid evidence is very limited." Liu Ruiling said.

In this regard, Wu Lingling said that the pepper extracts -pepperfill have analgesic and insecticidal effects, and some skin care products and ointments also contain this ingredient. However, pepper water is not equal to purifying her pepper, and there is no scientific evidence that peppercorns can treat allergic dermatitis.
"In addition, the concentration of peppercorns that we cook at home cannot be grasped, and impurities cannot be removed. Therefore, the peppercorns that are cooked out are likely to be strong and irritating. Condition. "Wu Lingling reminded, especially during the rapid development of skin diseases. Some people like to use hot pepper to get hot, which will make the inflammatory response more intense.
"Allergic dermatitis is mainly caused by damage to the skin barrier function, so you can usually apply some lotion with barrier repair to promote skin repair. If the skin has an exudation, you need to seek medical treatment in time. The doctor will choose an external medicine or oral anti -allergic drugs and anti -inflammatory drugs based on the area and severity of the rash.

Cardigan washing agent is a very common skin medication. The World Health Organization also includes cork Ganshi washing agent in the basic medication catalog of children and recommended it as a safe drug for infants and young children. At the same time, the price of stove Ganshi washing agents and the convenience of use, so it is very popular and has become the "universal skin medicine" of many families.

Avoid allergies to allergies? Truth: Make sure that allergens instead of blindness
There are rumors on the Internet that the symptoms of allergies are not to eat. Do not eat seafood, tropical fruits, eggs, milk, nuts, and bean foods. So, is this statement correct?
"After the symptoms of allergies, you must first determine allergens instead of blindness. It really needs to be taboo because of eating a certain food, but what to avoid is the food that causes allergies." Liu Ruiling introduced that there are many types of foods that cause allergies. , Far exceeding the types of rumors, such as celery, tomatoes, peaches, cherries, apples and other vegetables and fruits, it also causes human allergies.
Liu Ruiling suggested that people with allergies must pay attention not to "provoke" allergens. They need to taboo allergic foods, including processed foods containing allergens. "Before buying processing food, everyone must look at the ingredients carefully. At present, most food packaging will marked food composition that may cause allergies, and even indicate that the food production line has been processed with peanuts and other foods."

After facial skin allergies, the method of wetting with salt water is widely circulated on social platforms. In this regard, Wu Lingling said that washing his face or wet compress with salt water can indeed play a certain calm role. However, the effect of this method varies from person to person. When using, pay attention to the concentration, temperature and wet compressing time and frequency of salt water, otherwise it will be counterproductive.
"The salt water should be selected from medical physiological saline with a concentration of 0.9%. This concentration is closest to the concentration of the body's body liquid." Wu Lingling introduced that if the concentration of salt water prepared by itself is too high, it will take away the water inside the cells and then aggravate the symptoms of allergies; if If the concentration of salt water is too low, it will cause low seepage. Frequent wet compresses will cause excessive skin hydrophobic melody, which will increase the damage to the skin barrier.
Wu Lingling reminded that the wet application of salt water should not be too long, not more than twice a day, and do not exceed 20 minutes each time. If the symptoms have not been relieved, you need to go to the hospital for medical treatment in time.
