Demystifying: What exactly are "little blisters"?
In most cases, small blisters are sweat herpes. What are sweat herpes?
Sweat herpes is manifested as many small blisters in the early stage, which can grow scattered or appear in groups. They mostly appear on the palms, the sides and ends of fingers, and are often symmetrically distributed.
In the later stage of the disease, the sweat herpes will gradually spread and grow more and more until it dries up and molts, accompanied by extremely itching.
There are many reasons for sweat herpes. Excessive sweating of hands and feet, fungal infection, contact irritation, allergies, etc. can all cause sweat herpes to appear. In spring and summer, the weather is hot and the human body sweats a lot, which is the season of high incidence of sweat herpes.
After the occurrence of sweat herpes, you must go to the regular hospital for medical treatment in time, and do not blindly take medicine or leave it alone!
Some friends also said that when they saw the "small blisters" on their hands, they wanted to scratch. What about adverse effects?
The doctor reminds: Do not pop the small blisters!
For sweat herpes, some friends puncture it by themselves. Because sweat herpes is very contagious, if it is punctured, it will not only damage the original surface skin, but also cause secondary infection and even increase the possibility of spreading.
This also means that once the original one or two small blisters are squeezed, they will spread into blisters all over the hand!
Research has found that many patients with herpes are not serious at first, but due to repeated scratching, the symptoms of the disease are completely aggravated and the difficulty of treatment is increased!
In addition, after the small blisters are squeezed, the skin surface will fester, which will not only affect the appearance, but also endanger normal life. For example, the hands will be particularly painful when encountering irritating substances.
Therefore, doctors especially remind the majority of patients that after the occurrence of sweat herpes, remember not to pop the blisters by yourself.
If the blisters burst on their own, you may wish to consult a professional doctor for symptomatic treatment.
When "small blisters" appear, pay attention to the following points:
- Avoid scratching
Although scratching can relieve itching in the short term, scratching the skin surface will damage the stratum corneum of the skin, aggravate the skin damage, and have the possibility of serious secondary infection.
- Keep it clean
Wash your hands frequently, keep clean and hygienic, especially your hands and feet, and try to avoid some chemicals, such as detergents, etc. Keeping the skin moist can effectively prevent symptoms from getting worse.
- Go to the regular hospital for treatment in time
After the occurrence of sweat herpes, it is recommended to go to a regular professional hospital to consult a doctor and apply related drugs for treatment. If the symptoms are severe, oral medication is also required, and it is not advisable to delay the treatment for a long time and aggravate the condition.
