New Delhi, 27 February (IANS). If the grain comes out on the skin or if you feel like rubbing the place by mosquito bites, then it is not wrong. This recently claims a research. This study took place on mice. It was revealed that where itching, itching reduces the appearance of potentially harmful bacteria on the skin.
By the way, scratching the itchy rash usually likes any person. This is because rubbing causes mild pain, which keeps the brain away from itching. The pain motivates the brain to leave serotonin (good feeling hormone). Rubbing there reduces damage bacteria.
A new study shows that there are other benefits of scratching the rash and there are disadvantages that your mother warned you!
Research paper of Dr. Daniel Couple, Professor and Senior Study Writer of Dermatology and Senior Studies at Pittsburgh University, recently appeared in the Science Journal.
The study made on mice made several revelations. Some mice were allowed to scratch their rats. Their ears swollen and filled with neutrophils, a type of white blood cell that helps the body fight infection.
Researchers also saw that the scratching neurons that feel pain leaves a chemical called P, which activates mast cells.
Mast cells are immune cells that release chemicals when encountered allergies. Chemicals include histamine, which causes swelling and redness in place of allergic reaction.
The couple explained, “Mast cells are directly activated by allergies, which increase minor swelling and itching. Itching releases substance P, which activates mast cells.”
On the positive side, researchers found that mast cells protect against bacteria and other pathogens. Further experiments showed that scratching reduces the amount of staphylococcus aureus on the skin. Bacteria, also known as Staff, is the most common cause of skin infection and can cause food poisoning, pneumonia and bone infections.
According to research, “Khujane helps in preventing staphylococcus aurus, it suggests that it may be beneficial in some cases. But when itching is chronic, the loss is more.”
