Wet and hot summer, be careful

[뉴스토마토 정기종 기자] # Worker A camped with friends over the weekend. I bite my arms and legs many times in the mosquito day and night, but I did not care much because it often happens in outdoor activities. A few days later, however, mosquito bites became inflamed and swollen. When he realized that the situation was serious, he was quickly diagnosed as having a cellulitis-infected wound.

Cellulite (soft tissue salt) is a condition in which bacteria that enter a small wound on the skin cause inflammation of the dermis and soft tissue. The redness of the skin at the site of the sore accompanies an erythema accompanied by a sensation of warmth at the wound site.

If symptoms worsen, it can cause chills, swelling, pain, blisters, and pus. If the proper treatment is not accompanied, skin necrosis that becomes purple may occur. In addition, it may be accompanied by fatal complications such as sepsis and osteomyelitis, or even death.

It can occur in all age groups, and it usually occurs in the feet, legs, and face. If there is an elder or a diabetic, the probability of occurrence is higher. In athlete's foot patients, it can be transmitted through the toes between the affected parts and can occur in patients with normal edema in the arms and legs. Especially in the summer, scratching or applying saliva on a mosquito bite can lead to cellulite, so be careful.

According to the Health Insurance Evaluation and Evaluation Service, the number of domestic patients with ringworm has increased by 15.56% in the last five years, from 1 034,000 in 2012 to 1.26 million last year. In particular, patients are concentrated in the hot and humid summer months of the year, reaching 458,000 in July ~ September last year

The increase in the number of patients in summer is due to high humidity, which facilitates the reproduction of the causative bacteria such as yellow staphylococcus or cholestatic bacteria, which often leads to inflammation of small cells. In the early stage of cellulite, it is easy to treat with oral antibiotics or anti-inflammatory badgesic drugs, but hospitalization may be necessary if it develops severely.

To prevent cellulite, be careful not to scratch the skin during the summer season, especially during the rainy season, and be careful not to scratch or touch the skin if it is scratched or injured by a mosquito. you suffer from a basic illness like the foot or swelling of an athlete, you should treat him actively when he hurts, so that it does not cause other diseases infectious.
