How to treat eczema
Eczema is a skin inflammatory reaction with severe itching caused by a variety of internal and external factors. It is divided into three stages: acute, subacute and chronic. In the acute stage, it tends to ooze, while in the chronic stage, it becomes infiltrative and hypertrophic. Some patients directly present with chronic eczema. The skin lesions are characterized by polymorphism, symmetry, itching, and prone to recurrence.
The cause of eczema is complex, and it is easy to relapse even after treatment improves, making it difficult to cure. Because each clinical form and site has its own characteristics, the medication varies from person to person.
1. Internal medicines
The purpose is to resist inflammation and relieve itching. Antihistamine drugs such as loratadine and cetirizine, as well as sedatives and tranquillizers, are available. Generally, glucocorticoids are not suitable because oral administration has serious side effects and is prone to secondary infection.
In the acute stage, intravenous injection of calcium, vitamin C, sodium thiosulfate, etc. or procaine vein closure can be used; antibiotics may be added in case of secondary infection.
2. Topical drugs
The principles for the use of external drugs should be fully followed. In the acute phase, zinc oxide oil can be used for patients with no exudation or little exudation. For patients with large exudation, cold wet compresses with 3% boric acid solution can be used. After the exudation is reduced, glucocorticoid cream can be used.
Can be used interchangeably with oils; in the subacute phase, glucocorticoid emulsions and pastes can be used, and in order to prevent and control secondary infections, antibiotics can be used; in the chronic phase, ointments and coating agents can be used; for stubborn cases, Intradermal injection of glucocorticoids can be used for localized skin lesions.
