Why does the whole body itch when the weather is hot?

? Patient consultation: Excuse me? I feel itchy when I sleep in the heat, and it gets better when I'm not hot. It's been like this all summer. When itching, sometimes it becomes red and there are small bumps, and sometimes there is nothing at all. When the body is sweating or the weather is hot, the whole body feels itchy and uncomfortable. What is the disease? How to treat it? . According to experts, based on your situation, it is recommended that you go to the hospital for examination as soon as possible to clarify the cause and receive symptomatic treatment as soon as possible, because there are many cases of itching all over the body, pruritus or other skin diseases. If the skin is already dry and itchy, remember not to scratch the affected area, otherwise it will make it more itchy and expand the area. And scratching is likely to damage the skin and increase the skin's reactivity. If you scratch too hard, it may cause dermatitis or leave pigmentation and lichen-like hardening of the skin, which will make treatment more difficult. Therefore, in many cases, if the itching is not serious, try to endure it and do not scratch it casually. You can use some moisturizing products on the dry and itchy areas. Special attention should be paid to not using some topical hormone-containing ointments such as Piyanping, Wuji Cream, Fusinolone and other corticosteroid creams on your own when skin itching occurs. This hormonal drug may be very effective at the beginning of use and can make certain skin symptoms disappear quickly after one application. However, after long-term use of this drug, it is likely to cause skin abnormalities at the application site, such as Side effects such as secondary infection, folliculitis, telangiectasia, hormonal dermatitis, skin atrophy, and pigmentation. Women may also experience serious reactions such as increased hair growth. In addition, it is easy to develop dependence or resistance after using hormone drugs, and it may also lead to allergies, causing the skin in the affected area to appear dry, rough, desquamated, and even have shallow cracks.

Therefore, it is recommended not to use drugs indiscriminately when itching occurs all over the body. You must go to a regular hospital for examination as soon as possible and use symptomatic drugs under the guidance of a doctor.
