Irritación de piel por roce o fricción
Definición:
Son irritaciones cutáneas que se presentan cuando la piel roza contra la misma piel, las ropas u otros materiales.
Información:
Cuando la piel se irrita debido a alguna fricción, se pueden tomar algunas de las siguientes medidas:
- Usar telas 100% de algodón y evitar la ropa áspera en contacto directo con la piel.
- Eliminar el roce contra la piel utilizando indumentaria adecuada para la actividad que se practica (por ejemplo, mallas atléticas o pantalones cortos de ciclista).
- Evitar la actividad que está causando la excoriación, a menos que sea parte de estilo de vida, rutina de ejercicios, deportes u otra actividad.
- Vestir ropa limpia y seca. El sudor seco, los químicos, la suciedad y los detritos realmente pueden estar causando la irritación.
- Utilizar temporalmente vaselina o talco para bebés como lubricante en las áreas irritadas de la piel. También se pueden aplicar de manera preventiva en áreas que ordinariamente se rozan durante ciertas actividades, por ejemplo, la parte interior de los muslos o los brazos mientras la persona corre.
