The outermost barrier of the human body is the skin, which can protect our body. Of course, we also need to do a good job in skin health care. Due to being exposed to the outermost part of the body, problems are also the easiest to detect. Sometimes there may be sudden small red dots on the body, and sometimes the possibility of illness cannot be ruled out. So what does the little red dot of hepatitis B look like?
What does the little red dot of hepatitis B look like
Chronic liver cirrhosis is a disease caused by the growth of small red dots on the body. When the red dots on the body are pressed with fingers, they temporarily disappear, but when released, they will return to their original appearance. The red dot is caused by the destruction of hepatitis B virus to the liver, and is related to estrogen in the body. Estrogen accumulates in the human body, causing capillary dilation and the appearance of spider nevi, also known as small red dots.
What should I do if a red dot appears on my body
1. Don't go catch it. First of all, the intuitive reaction of most people to skin itching is to quickly scratch with their hands. However, you may not know that this action not only fails to relieve itching, but may also become more itchy as you scratch. This is mainly because when you scratch the local area, it actually increases the temperature of the area, causing the blood to release more histamine (allergen), which will worsen the condition.
2. Do not apply hot compress. Some people feel itchy and want to use hot compress. Although heat can temporarily reduce the sensitivity of local itching, it is actually another kind of stimulation because heat can dilate blood vessels and release more allergens. For example, soaking in overheated hot springs or bathtubs, or wrapping in thick cotton blankets to keep warm during the transition, are all likely to cause urticaria.
3. Pay attention to your diet. Avoid eating foods containing artificial additives and eat more fresh fruits and vegetables. Fried, deep fried, or spicy foods that are more likely to trigger thermal reactions in the body should be consumed in moderation.
It can be seen that paying attention to oneself is very important, and the skin, which is such a convenient area for observation, requires more attention. If a red dot appears, you can refer to the above methods and do not blindly handle it yourself. If you experience discomfort or persist for a long time, it is best to seek medical attention promptly to diagnose the cause, find the most suitable treatment method, and restore your healthy skin.
