Self-test for sensitive constitutions

1. You have a sensitive constitution diagnosed by a doctor, or you have a family history of allergies.

2. If you use acidic skin care products, if they are acidic, you will feel a stinging sensation.

3. The skin will become red and hot after drinking alcohol or staying in a non-ventilated room for a long time.

4. There will be winter itchiness, oily skin on the outside and dry skin on the inside. The skin will produce a lot of oil but look dull.

5. The skin is very thin and becomes red when exposed to the sun. When not red, cyan blood vessels are faintly revealed.

If you have more than three of the above symptoms, unfortunately, you basically have a sensitive constitution. Your skin is relatively fragile and has poor resistance, and water "evaporates through the skin" faster than the average person.

Temporary sensitivity self-test:

1. As long as you stay up late, your skin will become red and itchy the next day.

2. After exposure to the sun, the redness of the skin will not fade for a long time.

3. Sensitive symptoms will appear when you are under too much pressure or tired.

4. The skin will peel or itch when the seasons change from hot to cold or when the humidity increases.

5. Before each menstruation, the skin will become rough, rash or peeling.

If you have more than three of the above symptoms, your skin is basically temporarily sensitive. At this time, in addition to adjusting your living conditions, a more pragmatic approach is to choose skin care products according to the symptoms.

Judgment method:

A. General symptoms:

1. It will be itchy and painful after sweating.

2. The skin is always rough and often peels.

3. Growth often occurs due to stress or fatigue.

4. Skin problems will occur as soon as you use new cosmetics.

5. The use of cosmetics in the past year or two has caused skin inflammation and rashes. When exposed to ultraviolet rays, the skin will become red and painful.

Sensitive constitution

Generally, people who are prone to allergic reactions and allergic diseases but cannot find the cause are called "sensitive constitutions". People with "sensitive constitutions" can suffer from various allergic reactions and allergic diseases. For example, some suffer from eczema, urticaria, allergic asthma, and some are particularly sensitive to certain drugs and may develop drug-induced allergies. Dermatitis, even exfoliative dermatitis. However, an occasional hyperresponsiveness to a certain known factor cannot be called a "sensitive constitution."

What is a sensitive constitution

Generally, people who are prone to allergic reactions and allergic diseases but cannot find the cause of the disease People are called "allergic constitution". People with "allergic constitutions" can suffer from various allergic reactions and allergic diseases. For example, some suffer from eczema, urticaria, allergic asthma, and some are particularly sensitive to certain drugs. Dermatitis, even exfoliative dermatitis.

Common allergens

Food: seafood, shellfish, peanuts, eggs, milk, coffee and other foods containing high protein and spicy foods.

Plants: pollen, aloe vera, Orange family, Moraceae, seaweed, etc.

Drugs: aspirin, penicillin, analgesics, sedatives, antibiotics, contraceptive pills, etc.

Chemical substances: hair dyes, pesticides, paints, preservatives, sunscreens, alcohol, aromatics, artificial colors, cold perms, rubber, gasoline, etc.

Metallic substances: gold, silver, copper, mercury, lead, nickel.

Others: animal fur, leather goods, fibers, mosquito bites.

Rhinitis and Asthma Syndrome

The main manifestation of allergic constitution is allergic rhinitis-asthma syndrome (Combined Allergic Rhinitis and Asthma Syndrome), also known as allergic syndrome. Including allergic rhinitis, allergic asthma, allergic conjunctivitis, allergic pharyngitis and eczema, this is a new medical diagnosis name proposed in recent years, which refers to simultaneous clinical or subclinical upper respiratory tract allergies (allergic rhinitis) and allergic symptoms of the lower respiratory tract (asthma), both of which often coexist at the same time. The link between allergic rhinitis and allergic asthma was observed as early as the 1960s. Epidemiological surveys have confirmed that the incidence of asthma in patients with allergic rhinitis is 4-20 times higher than that in normal people. The incidence of asthma in normal people is about 2-5%, while the incidence of asthma in patients with allergic rhinitis can be as high as 20-40%, some even believe that 60% of allergic rhinitis may develop into asthma or be accompanied by lower respiratory tract symptoms. The continuity of the anatomical structure and physiological function of the nasal cavity and bronchi determines the relationship between allergic rhinitis and asthma. As a result, some scholars have long proposed concepts such as "United airways", "allergic rhinobronchitis" and "panal airway inflammatory syndrome", believing that upper and lower respiratory tract diseases require joint diagnosis and joint treatment. Some scholars have proposed the concept of allergic syndrome (Atopic syndrome) and believe that it should be treated from a systemic perspective. Currently, the World Allergy Organization (WAO) and Allergy & Clinical Immunology International and International Archives of Allergy and Immunology have officially proposed the use of diagnostic terms for pediatric allergic rhinitis asthma syndrome.
