What should I do if my hands itch and get blisters?

I felt my hands were itchy, so I scratched them a few times. Unexpectedly, I got blisters. This is something many people did not expect. Hands are a very important part of the human body. Many things require hands, such as writing, holding chopsticks, etc. Without hands, people will feel very uncomfortable and painful, so timely treatment is needed. What should I do if my hands itch and blisters appear? Let me tell you about it now, hoping it can help you.

It should be a fungal infection. Fungal infectious diseases are divided into four categories according to the parts of the human body that the fungi invade: superficial fungal diseases, skin fungal diseases, subcutaneous tissue fungal diseases and systemic fungal diseases. The first two are collectively called superficial fungal diseases, and the latter two are called deep fungal diseases.

Check the injured area and the condition of the wound, and check whether the muscles around the wound are spasming or twitching, paying special attention to whether the rectus abdominis is stiff. If there is exudate or detached tissue blocks in the wound, bacteriological examination (including smear and anaerobic bacteria culture) and pathological examination should be performed. Dermatophytes are a group of microorganisms that cause skin infections. Some fungi, yeasts, occur naturally in the human body. Ringworm fungi are opportunistic organisms. When they come into contact with a favorable environment, they grow inside the human body and infect the upper layers of the skin as well as the nails or hair.

Generally, the cream is applied twice a day, and treatment is continued for 7 to 10 days after the lesions disappear. If the cream is stopped too quickly, the infection is not eliminated and the rash may return. Antifungal creams may take several days to work, during which time corticosteroid creams may be used to relieve itching and pain. Low-dose hydrocortisone creams are available commercially; higher concentrations require a prescription.

Severe or persistent infections may be treated with griseofulvin for several months, sometimes with an antifungal cream. Oral griseofulvin is very effective but can cause side effects such as headache, gastrointestinal disturbances, photosensitivity, edema, and leukopenia. After griseofulvin is discontinued, the infection may recur. Fungal skin infections can also be treated with ketoconazole. Like griseofulvin, oral ketoconazole can have serious side effects, including liver damage.

Keeping the infected area clean and dry will help inhibit fungal growth and promote skin healing. The infected area should be washed frequently with soap and water, dried and sprinkled with talcum powder. Avoid powders that contain cornmeal, as it can promote fungal growth. If the fungal infection has exudate, it may be complicated by a bacterial infection. Treatment with antibiotics is required. Apply antibiotic cream or take antibiotics by mouth. Diluted aluminum acetate solution or Whitefield ointment may also be used to dry exudative skin. Risk factors for fungal infections: By invading the deeper layers of the skin, the risk factors for fungal infections of the skin are as follows.

Use of antibiotics: Antibiotics are used to treat a variety of bacterial infections. These drugs can reduce the number of good bacteria that normally live in the body. When the population of beneficial bacteria in the body decreases, opportunistic fungi get a chance to invade and colonize.

Use of Glucocorticoids: Glucocorticoids are used to reduce inflammation and skin disorders. These drugs work by suppressing the body's immune response and arresting inflammation which creates favorable conditions for the growth of fungi and other opportunistic infections. It is recommended to apply Dakning or Piconwang topically for treatment. At the same time, multivitamin nutritional supplements were given.

Patients should pay attention to hygiene, avoid spicy and irritating foods, and avoid eating seafood, beef, mutton and other irritating foods. Pay attention to keeping the skin clean and hygienic, do not scratch the affected area, avoid friction and irritation from clothes, keep the skin dry, wash your hands frequently, do not let your hands get dirty, and patients should try not to go to crowded places.
