What are the methods to relieve itching caused by allergies

In our daily life, we sometimes find ourselves a little allergic, our skin is always itchy and uncomfortable, but it is not a disease, so we don’t want to go to the hospital, but we don’t know some methods to relieve the itching for allergies. In fact, there are many methods to relieve the itching for allergies, and they are all quite simple. Below I will introduce some relevant methods in detail, I hope you can understand them.

There are many ways to relieve itching for skin allergies. Here I will tell you a very simple and safe one: wipe with salt water. The specific method is: prepare 150 ml of warm water, then add 1 tablespoon of salt, wait until the salt is completely dissolved, use a cotton ball dipped in salt water to apply to the itchy area, which can easily relieve the itching.

Regarding methods of relieving itching, what I want to tell you more are some misunderstandings, because wrong methods often backfire.

1. Don't use alkaline soap. Some people mistakenly believe that alkaline detergents can relieve itching for skin allergies. In fact, these detergents will only make the skin drier, and the cracking and itching more severe. Taking a bath with soap can inhibit sebum secretion and make the skin drier, thus aggravating the itching. Therefore, these patients can try soaps rich in oil.

2. Do not use hot water to wash the affected area. Using hot water to wash the rash for the sake of temporary relief may relieve the itching temporarily, but it will make the itching worse and make you feel uncomfortable afterwards, especially for dermatitis such as acute eczema. Hot water washing can increase the permeability of capillaries, promote the release of a large amount of allergic substances, lead to increased exudation and erosion, and worsen the condition. Therefore, even Chinese medicine fumigation and washing is not suitable for patients with acute eczema and acute dermatitis.

3. Do not abuse drugs. It is not uncommon to see cases where skin diseases get worse due to abuse and blind use of drugs to relieve itching for skin allergies. For example, topical corticosteroids are used to treat tinea manuum, which results in an increasingly widespread rash. Long-term use of topical hormones for facial seborrheic dermatitis has caused stubborn and difficult-to-treat hormone-dependent dermatitis and acute erosive and exudative eczema.

The above introduces some related methods for allergy itching. We can see that these methods are relatively simple. If you sometimes feel itchy due to allergies, you can try them. I hope they can help you in life. I wish you all a happy life!
