If you are itching in “4 places” on your body, don’t think it’s an allergy or that the cancer cells have awakened.
Yaya and her boyfriend have been in a relationship for three months. The two occasionally kissed each other during dates. However, after the kiss, Yaya had an allergic reaction on her face and went to the hospital for treatment.
The doctor checked for allergens and discovered that Yaya was allergic to her boyfriend’s saliva and needed desensitization treatment.
After the doctor informed Yaya of the examination results and treatment plan, she said: “The treatment is so troublesome, I might as well change her boyfriend.”
At first the doctor thought she was joking, but later found out that she did not come for treatment.
Netizens saw this and complained one after another:
Netizen A: I am even allergic to saliva. It seems that the two of them are destined to be inappropriate.
Netizen B: Husbands who get married in the future may never expect that their own saliva will actually make them stand out and become the winner.
We have heard of allergies, but many people probably don’t think that saliva can also be an allergen. In fact, there are thousands of allergens, and some of them are really weird!
Liang Guizhen, deputy chief physician of Foshan First People’s Hospital, said: Allergies will not only cause symptoms such as nasal congestion, eczema, and runny nose, but also symptoms such as diarrhea, headache, inattention, itchy skin, insomnia, colds, etc. If not promptly treatment, autoimmune diseases may develop . And the allergens that cause allergies also vary from person to person, and they are all weird!
Allergies are very common, such as seafood allergies, pollen allergies, etc. are relatively common, but the following allergens sound a bit strange!
1. Allergy to water
Previously, a baby less than two years old in the United States was allergic to water. Bathing and crying would cause redness, swelling, and blisters on the skin . However, this type of water allergy is relatively rare, with only about 50 cases worldwide.
People who are allergic to wood should not only not touch wood, but also pencils and paper. Once in contact, they may develop allergic reactions such as coughing, sneezing, and urticaria .
3. Allergy to sun rays
Being allergic to the sun’s rays may sound a bit weird, but there are indeed people who are allergic to the sun’s rays, also known as solar urticaria . This type of patient is rare, and urticaria may appear on the body once exposed to the sun’s rays.
According to the “British Daily Express”, a patient with electromagnetic wave allergy in the UK hanged himself because he could not bear it. Patients with electromagnetic wave allergy may have allergic reactions such as nausea, depression, headache, and weakness .
2. Can allergies be cured? How to prevent and stay away?
executive director of the dermatology department of Beijing Chaoyang Hospital Huairou Hospital affiliated to Capital Medical University, Zhang Haihong, said that allergies cannot be cured , but by avoiding contact with allergens for allergens or performing desensitization treatment , the number of attacks can be reduced or even no longer.
Common allergens include dust, oil fume, catkins, insect mites, fish and shrimp, beef and mutton, hair dye, cold air, ultraviolet rays, heterogeneous serum, etc. If the allergy is new, you must carefully recall what you have been exposed to, and you will not be able to find the allergy. If not, it is recommended to go to the hospital for allergen screening .
Many people think itching is caused by allergies, but in fact, some itching may be caused by cancer!
Studies have found that 3% to 47% of patients with general itching have been found to have visceral tumors . According to statistics, 16% to 30% of elderly patients with lymphoma, 50% of patients with rectal cancer, and 25% of patients with reproductive organ cancer have skin itching symptoms.
These four types of itchy skin that won’t heal for a long time should be alerted to be caused by cancer!
1. Itchy or yellow skin may alert you to liver cancer
When liver function is severely damaged and the bilirubin content in the blood increases, jaundice may occur, resulting in yellowing of the skin and skin itching.
Perianal itching may be caused by eczema, hemorrhoids and other diseases. However, if perianal itching persists and is accompanied by anorectal swelling, bleeding, and pain, you should be alert to intestinal cancer.
3. Brain itching alerts to malignant brain tumors
When tumors appear in the brain, they can affect the central nervous system, causing abnormal itching symptoms in the brain. If the nasal cavity is inexplicably itchy but no lesions are found, be alert to brain lesions.
4. If you have abnormal itching in your chest or armpits, be alert to breast cancer or lymphoma.
Breast cancer may cause abnormalities in breast tissue, affect breast blood circulation, stimulate nerve endings, and cause itching symptoms in the breasts or armpits; lymphoma may cause lymph nodes to swell and compress peripheral nerves and blood vessels, causing itching symptoms.
