With the gradual improvement of people's health awareness in recent years, everyone's usual awareness of cleanliness and hygiene has also improved a lot, and they pay great attention to cleanliness every day. But you know what?Some areas are not recommended to be too "clean", and excessive cleaning can cause harm. I'm going to tell you about it today.
These 4 parts of the body should not be too clean
Over-cleansing**, easy to break** barrier, become sensitive skin;Over-cleansing**, easy to break** barrier, become sensitive skin;This is because the stratum corneum, the natural protective layer on the surface, is made up of layers of keratinocytes. There are gaps between these cells that prevent water loss and also block the intrusion of harmful substances from the outside world. However, when we frequently use a strong stain remover or scrub to clean**, it destroys this protective layer, making it fragile and sensitive.
So choose a gentle cleanser and cleanse it properly according to your skin type and needs. At the same time, paying attention to moisturizing and sun protection is also an important measure to protect**. Only by giving enough care and maintenance can you have healthy and beautiful skin.
2.Nose
Frequent nose picking may cause damage to the nasal mucosa, which can lead to nosebleeds. The nasal mucosa is a thin membrane covering the nasal passages that secretes mucus that helps keep the nasal passages moist and filters dust and bacteria from the air. However, when we frequently pick at our nostrils with our fingers or other objects, it can irritate the nasal mucosa, making it fragile and sensitive.
Damage to the nasal mucosa can cause blood vessels to rupture, which can cause nosebleeds. This bleeding is usually mild, but if it occurs frequently or lasts longer, it can lead to anemia and other health problems. In addition, frequent nose picking can also lead to problems such as nasal infections and nasal congestion. To avoid these problems, we should practice good Xi and avoid touching our nose with our hands or picking at our nostrils. If you need to clean up nasal secretions or foreign bodies, you can use saline or a specialized nasal cleanser to rinse them. At the same time, keeping indoor air moist can also help reduce the risk of nasal mucosal dryness and damage.
3.Ears
Frequent ear plucking will damage the ear canal**, causing otitis externa, boils, etc. This is because our ear canal** is very fragile, and if we often dig our ears with cotton swabs or other objects, it will cause damage to the ear canal**. This damage may lead to the development of otitis externa, a common ear disease that manifests as symptoms such as redness, swelling, pain, and pus in the ear canal.
In addition, frequent ear picking can also cause boils. Furuncles are a kind of disease caused by acute suppuration of hair follicles or sebaceous glands, which is manifested as local redness, swelling, pain, induration and other symptoms. If the boil occurs within the ear canal, it can cause severe pain and discomfort.
Frequent ear plucking can also irritate the ear canal, causing more and more earwax to secrete. This is because picking out the ears stimulates the glands in the ear canal, causing it to secrete more earwax. Although earwax itself is a natural substance that protects our ears, if it is secreted too much, it may clog the ear canal and affect hearing.
Therefore, we should avoid frequent ear plucking to avoid causing damage to the ears. If you feel discomfort in your ears, you should seek medical attention in time and have it checked by a professional doctor. At the same time, we should also take care to keep our ears clean, but the cleaning method should be correct, such as using a special ear cleaning solution, rather than picking the ears with cotton swabs or other objects.
4.Navel
The navel, as an important part of the human body, has a peculiarity in its structure. It is located in the center of the abdomen and is the link between the fetus and the mother in the mother's body, and it is also the place where the umbilical cord is cut after the newborn is born. Therefore, the structure of the navel is relatively fragile and requires adequate attention and protection in our daily lives.
The anatomy of the navel determines its fragility. Inside the navel is a rich body of blood vessels, nerves, and lymphatic tissues that intertwine to form a complex network. In this network, blood vessels are responsible for providing nutrients and oxygen to the abdominal organs, and nerves are responsible for transmitting information and regulating visceral function. Lymphoid tissue, on the other hand, is an important part of the immune system, responsible for removing waste and pathogens from the body. Due to the complexity of the internal structure of the navel, any excessive pressure or stimulation applied to it can lead to damage to these tissues, which can lead to a range of health problems.
Secondly, the navel is close to the visceral nerve, and vigorously digging the navel is easy to stimulate the visceral nerve. The splanchnic nerve is a branch of the nervous system that is primarily responsible for regulating the function of internal organs. When the navel is stimulated by external force, it may compress the internal nerve nerve, resulting in nerve conduction blockage, which in turn affects the normal function of internal organs. For example, picking the belly button too violently may cause gastrointestinal peristalsis to slow down, and symptoms such as indigestion and bloating may occurIn severe cases, it can also lead to life-threatening complications such as intestinal obstruction and intestinal perforation.
In addition, the ** around the navel is thinner and lacks a layer of fat protection, which makes the navel more susceptible to external irritation and damage. Therefore, in daily life, we should try to avoid digging the navel too hard to avoid unnecessary damage to the splanchnic nerves and surrounding tissues. At the same time, we should also take care to keep the navel area clean and dry to avoid infection.
