According to information from Ho Chi Minh City Dermatology Hospital, a male patient (47 years old, Ho Chi Minh City) went to the hospital for examination with long, swollen pink plaque on his skin and amputated skin.
The patient said that a few days ago, he went swimming and had sea jelly in his feet. After arriving at shore, the patient's left leg was swollen, swollen and blistered.
Another case was a female patient (55 years old, living in Lam Dong province), who came to the clinic with a skin condition on her right arm that had many areas with allergic contact dermatitis, pink patches, swelling, ulcers, pus and necrosis. The patient shared that a few days before, she had gone swimming and was "attacked" by the measles and fire.
According to Dr. Pham Thi Uyen Nhi - Head of the Clinical Trial Unit, Deputy Head of the Planning and Synthesis Department of Ho Chi Minh City Dermatology Hospital, since the beginning of the summer, the hospital has received a number of cases of patients with contact dermatitis caused by sea jelly.
"In cases where patients arrive early, doctors promptly treat them with oral and special medicine to help quickly recover dermatitis. However, there are also cases where self-treating patients can lead to complications of infection, fluid, skin ulcers or widespread damage, making treatment more difficult. There are cases where whole-body medication such as antibiotics and strong anti-inflammatory drugs is required to control them," Dr. Pham Thi Uyen Nhi informed.
