There are many reasons for sores on the body. When taking medicine, do not use it indiscriminately before the cause is found out. It may cause the condition to worsen. Some people will experience itching symptoms after sores on their bodies. What should we do?

What to do if you have itchy sores on your body?

When you have acne and itching, never scratch it with your hands, because there are a lot of bacteria on your hands, which will cause infection in the scratched skin wounds, increase the area of ​​acne, and leave scars after recovery.

To treat scabies, take a hot bath and puncture the blisters before applying the ointment, then apply the ointment all over the body (not the head and face), once in the morning and once in the evening, for 3 consecutive days. Do not take a bath or change clothes while applying the medicine. On the 4th day, wash off the medicine, change into clean clothes, and boil or iron the taken clothes and towels to disinfect them, and expose the bedding to the sun. Repeat the medication after one week. If there is no new skin lesion after two weeks, it indicates that the disease has been cured.

What should I do if I have scabies?

1. Drug treatment

Scabies is mostly treated by applying topical medications. Some topical anti-scabies ointments can help you kill existing scabies mites and their eggs promptly and effectively. But everyone should pay attention to rinse the whole body before using the medication, and then apply the medication, and also insist on applying the medication every morning and evening.

2. Change clothes frequently and disinfect them

Scabies can be transmitted through contact with clothing, so scabies patients should pay attention to changing clothes frequently. At the same time, they should soak used clothes in boiling water or expose them to the sun to kill scabies and scabies eggs through high temperature.

How to effectively prevent the recurrence of scabies

1. Pay attention to sexual hygiene. Because sexual transmission is the main factor causing scabies, the recurrence of scabies is also related to sexual behavior. If a scabies patient has sexual intercourse during the illness, it will cause direct rupture of the genitals, which will cause repeated attacks of scabies and long-term treatment. Therefore, experts remind that in order to completely cure scabies, sexual intercourse should be abstained.

2. Improve immunity. People with weakened immune function, such as those with malignant tumors, lupus erythematosus, kidney transplants, chemotherapy, and those using glucocorticoids, have a doubled chance of developing and recurring scabies, and the warts are also larger.

3. Smoking and drinking are prohibited. Scabies patients should refrain from smoking and drinking because smoking and drinking can reduce the body's immune function. Some investigations have found that people who have smoked for more than ten years have a significantly increased chance of recurrence of scabies. At the same time, the use of condoms decreases after drinking, violent sexual behavior increases, and the chance and degree of genital injuries increase, which also increases the incidence and recurrence rate of the disease.
