The Dhaka Times Desk Many of us may not know that staying in an air-conditioned room for a long time makes the skin excessively dry. For those who have diseases like eczema or psoriasis, this problem can become more dangerous.
It's getting hotter now. So it is not possible to stand still for a moment in the heat. After returning home with a sweat, even after taking a bath, peace is not found. Since most of the time in the office is spent in an air-conditioned room, you can't stay home without turning on the AC. Due to staying in AC most of the time, various problems are also appearing on the skin.
এই বিষয়ে ত্বকের চিকিৎসকরা বলেছেন, অনেকেই হয়তো জানেনই না যে, দীর্ঘক্ষণ এসি ঘরে থাকলে ত্বক অতিরিক্ত শুষ্ক হয়ে পড়ে। যাদের এগজ়িমা বা সোরাইসিসের মতো রোগ রয়েছে, তাদের ক্ষেত্রে এই সমস্যা আরও বিপজ্জনক হয়ে ওঠতে পারে। তবে উল্টোটাও যে হয়, তা হয়তো অনেকেই জানেনই না। অর্থাৎ, দীর্ঘক্ষণ এসি’র মধ্যে থাকলে তৈলাক্ত ত্বক আরও তেলতেলেও হয়ে উঠতে পারে।
What other skin problems can be caused by living in an air-conditioned room?
# This air conditioner keeps the room cool by reducing the amount of moisture in the air. Skin moisture can be lost if it is in such an environment for a long time. Due to which the skin becomes dehydrated. For those with dry or sensitive skin, the problem may be exacerbated.
# আর্দ্রতা কিংবা ময়েশ্চার ধরে রাখার নিজস্ব ক্ষমতা ত্বকের রয়েছে। তবে দীর্ঘক্ষণ এসি’র মধ্যে থাকার কারণে ত্বকের এই ক্ষমতা নষ্ট হয়। ত্বক অতিরিক্ত শুষ্ক হয়ে পড়ার কারণে এগজ়িমা, সোরাইসিস-এর মতো সমস্যাও বৃদ্ধি পেতে পারে।
# অনেক সময়, উল্টোটাও হতে পারে। দীর্ঘক্ষণ এসিতে থাকার কারণে ত্বক সাধারণত ডিহাইড্রেটেড হয়ে পড়ে। সেই পরিস্থিতি সামাল দিতে ত্বক নিজে থেকেই ‘সেবাম’ উৎপাদনের হারও বাড়িয়ে দেয়। যে কারণে ত্বকের তৈলাক্ত ভাব আরও বেড়ে যায়। ব্রণের উপদ্রব বেড়ে যাওয়ার পিছনে ওই এসি’র হাতও থাকতে পারে বলে মনে করেন বিশেষজ্ঞরা। তথ্যসূত্র: আনন্দবাজার পত্রিকা অনলাইন।

How to prevent dengue
Dengue is a mosquito-borne viral fever. This fever is different from other viral or bacterial fevers. However, this fever is not contagious in any way. This viral fever can occur alone or in combination with other viruses (chikungunya, yellow fever, Burma forest, flu, respiratory syncytial) and bacteria (pneumococcus).
Dengue fever is divided into two categories depending on the severity of symptoms and fever.
1. Common dengue fever
2. Dengue fever with bleeding.
In the case of common dengue fever, the following symptoms are mainly seen-
1. Sudden high fever lasting 2 to 7 days.
2. Severe headache.
3. Pain behind the eyes.
4. Along with the fever, red rash appears all over the body.
5. Severe pain in whole body as well as back pain.
6. Nausea or vomiting.
7. A rash or red bumps on the skin.
In case of dengue fever with bleeding:
1. Bleeding from nose, mouth or vomiting with high fever within 2 to 48 hours.
2. Fluid accumulation in chest or abdomen along with fever.
If any of these symptoms appear, seek medical attention immediately.
On the other hand
Wait at home for the first 3 days of fever. On the other hand, sponge the whole body with water every now and then. This will reduce the level of fever. Drink enough water and rest. After that, if the fever does not decrease or if it continues to increase after some time, consult a doctor immediately.
Things to do to prevent Dengue:
1. Try to keep the surroundings of the house as clean as possible.
2. If there are flower tubs or broken plastic bottles, can shells, tires or polythene inside the house, clean them quickly and drain the accumulated water from the flower tubs.
3. Spray or fog at least 3 times a week to kill mosquitoes.
4. You can keep mosquito repellent cream with you while going out.
5. After evening, younger and older members of the household should use mosquito nets.
6. Clean up any accumulated rain water, as this is the time when Aedes mosquitoes lay their eggs.
7. On the other hand, you can use mats along with mosquito nets to avoid mosquito infestation.
8. Since Aedes mosquitoes bite during the day, it is important to avoid sleeping with mosquito nets while sleeping during the day. Source: https://dmpnews.org
