Many people love to eat yam. Yam is delicious whether it is roasted or steamed. However, you must wash the yam thoroughly before eating it, otherwise eating unclean yam will cause stomachache. Many people often have itchy hands after washing yam. This may be because yam is rich in many things that are harmful to us. Let us now learn about the solution to itchy hands after handling yam.

1. It is considered that allergies are related to environmental and climate changes and poor body resistance. It is recommended that you go to the hospital for a check-up and symptomatic treatment. Pay attention to your diet, eat less seafood, beef, mutton, etc. You can apply Hepurin externally, take anti-allergic drugs, vitamin C and skin immunity regulating drugs orally.

2. Western medicine mainly uses calming and relieving itching. If your skin is already dry and itchy, remember not to scratch the affected area, as this will only make the itching worse and cause the area to expand. Maybe everyone has had this experience: sometimes when you suddenly enter a warm room from the cold outdoors, or when you take off your thick coat and lie down in bed before going to bed at night, your skin will suddenly feel itchy under the stimulation of cold and heat, and you can't help scratching it, but the more you scratch, the more itchy it becomes, and the more you scratch, the more severe the itching becomes, creating a vicious cycle. Moreover, scratching is likely to damage the skin and increase its reactivity. If you scratch too hard, it may cause dermatitis or leave pigmentation and lichenification, which will make it more difficult to treat. So in many cases, if the itching is not very severe, try to endure it and don't scratch it casually. You can use some moisturizing products on the dry and itchy areas. If the itching is severe, you can also apply some anti-itching ointments/lotions with cooling ingredients such as mint (such as calamine lotion, cyproheptadine cream, triamcinolone urea ointment, etc.) to relieve the symptoms and gradually return the skin to normal; or you can use a towel soaked in cold water for local cold compresses to relieve the symptoms of itchy skin. In terms of oral medication, people with dry skin can take cod liver oil pills three times a day.
