Haunted by being stung by a red ant, widespread skin damage

Thanh Thanh |

HCMC - Many people are stung by ants in sensitive areas such as the eyes, armpits, genitals, groin, etc., causing widespread skin damage that takes a long time to heal.

Mr. N.G.N (29 years old, Binh Duong province) felt ants crawling in his private area while sleeping, so he rubbed his hands to kill the insects. The next morning, Mr. N had a red rash, blisters, burning pain and itching right at this location.

Mr. N applied antibiotic ointment to the painful area and felt better. Two days later, Mr. N felt severe pain, swelling in his groin, and swollen lymph nodes.

Mr. N came to Tam Anh General Hospital in Ho Chi Minh City for examination and was diagnosed with irritant contact dermatitis caused by the three-banded ant with local infection. The lesion showed signs of continuing to spread due to the pederin poison of the three-banded ant sticking to his pants and constantly rubbing against his skin.

Doctor Quach Thi Bich Van - Dermatology - Skin Aesthetics specialist at Tam Anh General Hospital, Ho Chi Minh City said that the South is in the rainy season, the number of cases of dermatitis caused by ants has not shown any signs of decreasing. A person can get sick many times.

Every day, Tam Anh District 7 General Clinic and Tam Anh General Hospital in Ho Chi Minh City receive 15-20 cases of dermatitis caused by ants. Some cases are in sensitive areas such as the eyes, armpits, genitals, groin, etc., causing uncomfortable symptoms and affecting the patient's daily life.

In some cases, pederin gets into the eyelids, causing swelling, conjunctivitis, increased risk of corneal damage, and even temporary loss of vision if rubbing the eyes causes pederin to fall into the eyes.

The skin in the armpits, groin, and thighs is thinner, softer, and more sensitive, and is also more susceptible to serious injury. These areas tend to rub together during activity, so the lesions tend to spread more widely than other areas, limiting movement. Due to their specific location, these areas are moist and take longer to heal than exposed skin areas.

To prevent the disease from getting worse, doctors recommend that when you suspect contact with the three-cavity ant, you should wash the skin area under running water and soap several times to clean the toxins.

If you have symptoms such as red rashes, slightly raised on the skin surface, small blisters or pustules in the middle, blistering skin like a heat burn, you should go to a medical facility soon for examination and treatment.
