Do you know what kind of damage is done to the skin in the habit of sitting in the AC all the time?

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.

In this regard, skin doctors said, many people may not know that the skin becomes excessively dry if the air conditioner stays in the room for a long time. For those who have diseases like eczema or psoriasis, this problem can become more dangerous. However, many people may not know that the opposite also happens. In other words, oily skin can become even more oily if it stays in AC for a long time.

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.

# The skin has its own ability to retain moisture. However, this ability of the skin is lost due to being in AC for a long time. Due to excessive dryness of the skin, problems like eczema, psoriasis can also increase.

# Sometimes, the opposite can happen. Skin is usually dehydrated due to prolonged exposure to AC. To deal with that situation, the skin itself increases the rate of 'sebum' production. Due to which the oiliness of the skin increases. Experts believe that AC may be behind the increase in acne. Source: Anandabazar Patrika Online.

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
