Summary

- Experts advise organic colors and moisturizing to prevent post-Holi health issues.
City specialists in Ludhiana have reported a notable increase in patients seeking treatment for skin and eye issues in the days following Holi. Doctors have documented various cases of chemical reactions and physical injuries across local hospitals.
Dermatologists observed a surge in patients experiencing rashes, itching, and redness attributed to synthetic Holi colors. One severe case involved a pre-existing skin condition aggravated by chemical exposure. While some specialists noted fewer severe cases this year, possibly due to improved public awareness and prompt washing after exposure, the overall trend indicates ongoing health concerns.
Ophthalmologists also dealt with festive casualties, including eye injuries from water balloons and allergic reactions to color chemicals. Although the number of severe eye cases remained low, minor irritations were treated. Medical experts continue to emphasize the importance of using organic colors and applying moisturizers after the festivities to prevent health complications.
