It happens that after taking a shower, itching occurs. The skin may start to turn red and itch.
Many people think that the problem lies in hygiene products or water. But in reality, the situation may be much more serious.
A seemingly harmless symptom may indicate a dangerous pathology, the complication of which may be a stroke.
This statement was made by TV doctor Elena Malysheva as part of the program “Live Healthy!”
As the doctor noted, we may be talking about polycythemia. In this case, there is an increased production of red blood cells, platelets and white blood cells. There are a lot of red cells.
As Dr. Andrey Prodeus noted during the broadcast, the bone marrow begins to produce them in quantities 3-4 times higher than normal. As a result, such cells begin to actively fill the vessels, the blood thickens. As the specialist noted, this can lead to a stroke.
At first, the disease can indeed be confused with an allergy. You can't ignore the problem, it's life-threatening.
Therefore, if you want to scratch after washing, it is better to go and take a blood test. The problem is easy to identify.
