熱水浴越沖越痕
靜香：「冬天到我喜歡用比較熱的水沖涼，身上的痕癢會暫時紓緩，但沖涼後又痕起來，怎麼辦？」

CheckCheckCin：冬天冷冰冰，沖個熱水浴的確很舒服，但熱水浴止痕只是一時之快，太熱的熱水會令皮膚表面失去脂質，皮膚會變得更為乾燥，人體正常體溫介乎攝氏36至37度，沖涼水溫以接近體溫的攝氏35至38度為佳，不宜高過攝氏42度，尤其浸浴的話更要注意，太高水溫會讓血壓上升，造成心臟負擔，水溫過高加上浸泡時間過長容易導致暈倒昏迷、心臟缺血缺氧等情況，所以浸浴時間以不多於20分鐘為佳。沖涼後宜立即抹乾，趁身體還濕潤時塗上潤膚乳來鎖住水分。很多人身體痕癢的原因為濕熱，適量進食清熱祛濕的食材，同時避免進食辛辣、海鮮、煙酒等動風發物，有助紓緩疜症狀。

Hot water bath can worsen itchy skin

“I like to bath in hotter water during winter as it helps relieve the itch on my body, but I’ll feel itchy again not long after. What can I do?”

CheckCheckCin: The weather is cold during winter. Taking a hot bath is definitely a nice experience, but you may want to think twice if you believe it can help stop the itch on your body. Using hot water can cause the skin to lose its sebum, and your skin will be even drier.

Since our body temperature is within 36 – 37 degree Celsius, it would be appropriate to bath in water within the range of 35 – 38 degree Celsius. Avoid going beyond 42 degree Celsius.

Be extremely mindful if you are using a bathtub, as water at a high temperature can increase blood pressure, which would in turn cause additional burden to the heart. If a person dips in the hot water for too long, he or she might feel dizzy and faint, or suffer from oxygen deficiency in the heart. Therefore, it is best not to spend more than 20 minutes in the bathtub.

Do wipe the body dry right after the shower, and apply moisturizer to lock in the moisture while it is still slightly wet. Many people experience itch on the body because of damp-heat. Consume an appropriate amount of ingredients that can eliminate dampness from the body. In order to better relieve the itch, avoid consuming hot and spicy food, seafood, as well as wind-stimulating items such as cigarettes and alcohols.

【愈忙愈嚴重】再忙也要停下來喘口氣

身痕也因壓力起
緊張小姐：「最近社會氣氛緊張，精神壓力大，突然頸及背部還長滿紅疹，又腫又痕，該怎麼辦？」

CheckCheckCin：中醫認為，健康之道在於身心平衡，精神狀態對身體帶來影響其實很大。長期處於高壓狀態下，人會份外容易出現情緒問題，情志傷肝，肝氣鬱滯令氣機不暢通，當氣機未可正常疏泄，濕熱容易蘊結體內而誘發突發性皮膚敏感或濕疹，很多時更會伴隨脇肋脹痛、口苦、大便乾結、小便偏黃等偏熱症狀。

濕疹在任何身體部位也有可能出現，有些人的濕疹主要長在頸，衣領揩到皮膚時更見癢痛，嚴重的甚至會有皮膚增厚的症狀，這又稱為「攝領瘡」，遇上緊張、煩躁或晚上會相對痕癢。其實這類因壓力引致的濕疹、皮膚痕癢是身體和情緒的惡性循環，當人愈緊張，情緒愈差時，濕疹的發作也更嚴重；當濕疹爆發，痕癢不適亦會令人心情欠佳、煩躁，濕疹更難痊癒，所以這時候必須先行鎮靜情緒，調理情志，告訴自己情緒愈失控愈生氣也是於事無補，再由內至外針對濕疹症狀。

Stress can cause itchy skin
"The recent social atmosphere has been tense. My mental stress is increased, and developed neck and back rash suddenly are. They are swollen and itchy. What should I do?"

CheckCheckCin: Chinese medicine believes that it is important to have balance of mind and body, and the mental state has a great impact on the body. Under the long-term high pressure, people will be prone to emotional problems. Emotion affects liver. Liver qi stagnation makes the qi circulation not smooth, when the qi cannot be properly vented, damp heat can accumulate in the body and induce sudden skin allergy or eczema. This is usually accompanied by hypochondriac pain, bitter taste in mouth, dry stool, yellowish urine and other heat-related symptoms.

Eczema may occur in any part of the body. Some people have eczema mainly in the neck. When the skin is rubbed by collar, it is more itchy. Serious symptoms such as skin thickening may occur. This is also called ‘collaring sores’, and the itch will worsen at night with stress and irritability. In fact, this type of eczema and skin itch caused by stress is a vicious circle of the body and emotions. When people get nervous and their mood is worse, eczema worsens. When eczema breaks out, itching and discomfort will also put people in a bad mood, then the eczema is harder to heal. Therefore, it is necessary to calm down and regulate emotions first, and tell yourself that the uncontrolled emotions and anger does not help, and then relieve the symptoms of eczema from the inside to outside.
