What should I do if I get a bacterial infection from hot spring soaking with psoriasis?
Disease description:
I have symptoms of psoriasis on my body, and during a hot spring bath, it may have become infected and caused ulcers. What should I do if psoriasis becomes infected with bacteria after soaking in a hot spring?

When psoriasis patients develop bacterial infections after soaking in a hot spring, they should immediately take the following measures:
1. Local cleansing: Use boric acid solution or normal saline to wet-dress or clean the infected area, removing surface bacteria and preventing secondary infection.
2. Topical medication: After cleaning, apply topical antibacterial agents such as erythromycin ointment or ofloxacin gel to help relieve skin symptoms caused by bacterial infection.
3. Oral medication: If the infection is severe, consider taking oral antibiotics such as amoxicillin, cephalosporins, or doxycycline to eliminate systemic inflammation and promote skin recovery.
4. Seek prompt medical care: If symptoms fail to improve or worsen after self-treatment, it is recommended to visit a dermatology department at a reputable hospital promptly and receive further treatment under medical supervision.
Psoriasis patients who develop bacterial infections after hot spring bathing should promptly implement measures including proper cleansing, topical and oral medications, and seek professional medical treatment when necessary.
