Parent, this is my personal treatment of hormone-dependent dermatitis process, I hope to help you. I wish you a speedy recovery! Treatment of hormone-dependent dermatitis personal factual history Cause I, gender female. I am a person who is extremely slow in both inner thoughts and outer senses, and rarely sensitive. I was lucky enough to have never suffered from acne or allergies since I was a child, even during puberty, which is the period that men and women who love to look beautiful are most afraid to go through. No matter how many chili peppers I ate or how much fire I got, the heat was always released through other channels and never went to my skin. If I could use one word to describe my skin type, it would be "skinny". However, this rule, which I took for granted, was cruelly and ruthlessly broken at the beginning of my 36th birthday. I am a training teacher, freelance, March 4, 2010 by a company in Wenzhou invited to go to training, the unfortunate encounter is to arrive in Wenzhou the next day began. In retrospect, I now realize that because I had no control over chili peppers since I was a child, and I was especially addicted to spicy hot pots during that time, I was already suffering from a serious damp-heat constitution. And catch Wenzhou's humid climate, even traffic jam with catching a plane, plus work tension and training program changes, the next morning found a circle of light around the mouth, outsiders are not easy to notice the small red rash. That kind of allergy phenomenon is relatively mild, especially compared to the state of my perioral hormone dependence for nearly a year, it is nothing at all. Later, I realized that the allergy was caused by spleen deficiency, which could have been cured if I adjusted my diet and paid attention to rest. Perhaps destiny is predetermined. When I just feel that life would have been carefree, everything is smooth sailing when, once again, by this impermanent world hit a resounding slap in the face. Nightmare 2010 was a busy year since I started freelancing. between March and July, I went to Yunnan, Wuhan, Guangzhou, Xiamen, Shandong, Tibet, etc., and the training in and around Beijing was almost full. The skin around my mouth was never effectively treated. In case of emergency, I would just take a tube of "Skin Light" and apply it to cope with the situation, mainly to alleviate the embarrassment and embarrassment of facing the students during the training. Until now, I can't even recall those nightmarish days. Here to introduce what is hormone-dependent dermatitis, for those who do not understand the situation "clear a blind". The main purpose is to let you understand the harm of hormone creams, so that you can stay away from hormones. The so-called "hormone-dependent dermatitis" is also called corticosteroid-dependent dermatitis. It is a dermatitis caused by repeated improper use of hormones over a long period of time. In the same area, long-term (usually 5-7 days in a row) topical use of hormones, the skin will appear acne-like dermatitis, especially in the hot and cold and other stimuli after the skin redness, itching, hair rise; increased sensitivity. Skin dependence, once the discontinuation of hormone products within 1-5 days, mild flaking, sensitivity, redness, swelling, itching, pain and other phenomena; heavy parts of the skin vulnerable to the use of medication, taut, the skin occurs significant erythema, hyperpigmentation, atrophy, atrophic lines, capillary dilation, pimples, cracks, chaff, flakes, dry and flaky, small pustules, burning sensation, tenderness, itching and even yellow water, tension, redness in the heat and other symptoms! At this time, unknown patients often have to choose to continue to resume the use of hormones, so that the hormone dependence is more serious, the use of hormones can be absorbed through the skin into the blood circulation, causing medical diabetes, hypertension, osteoporosis, liver, kidney damage, obesity, menstrual disorders, the original cardiovascular disease aggravated by other diseases. Hormone-dependent dermatitis is referred to as: agitated skin. Change this kind of disease is generally divided into two categories: the first is the first due to allergies and other symptoms caused by skin diseases, after the hospital doctor or friends recommended the use of hormone creams. The other category is due to today's young people to pursue fashion, compare appearance and skin quality, in the case of unknowingly buy cosmetics containing hormones. Because most people have little understanding of the side effects of hormone creams, in the past two years, the number of people suffering from "radical skin" is to the speed of the arrow soaring, the degree of growth and multiples of the domestic real estate market. In those hellish days, "skin light" is my face, my mouth. Going out without it is like going to see someone without your face and mouth. Because of the characteristics of hormone creams, almost instantly after the use of the effect, do not need to be immediately knocked back to the original shape, and more and more serious. Perhaps this is the temptation and charm of these creams. Soon, in the "skin light" so-called charm and temptation, my mouth area from the original light small red rash into a larger area and bumpy and disorderly red and purple state, just like Xiao Shenyang's famous song - "Shandandandan flowers bloom red color": Shandandandan's that! Blossom Yo ...... (20 words omitted here). If you stop using the ointment, the affected skin will have a more pronounced burning sensation and painful itching. Sometimes it looks like wind bumps, sometimes it looks like pimples topped with tiny white tips, and just a little bit of this one, that one grows again, one after the other, competing for attention. Thus, defeated by fate, I had no choice but to use up 4 tubes of "Skin Relaxer" off and on. Yes, I was completely enslaved by it, just like the loyal slave in the movie "No Limit". It was a kind of life experience without dignity. Visiting the doctorAfter a hectic work schedule, I was finally able to find a piece of time to go to the hospital to look at my unrecognizable mouth, which I ran to the living room mirror first thing in the morning to take a look at. At the end of August, more than 5 months after using "Skin Relax", I went to the hospital, eager to get professional treatment. First, I hung up with Dr. Wang Xiaolian at Tong Ren Tang in Chongwenmen. There are 50 general numbers every day, and I was 1 second later than the last person, so I spent an extra 100 bucks to hang up the 51st special-needs number. To make the day perfect, I used the waiting time to go to Puren Hospital, a hundred paces away, to see a Western doctor. The registration at Puren was fast and cheap. The doctor was quite young, in his early 30s. For this visit, I purposely did not use "skin light" 3 days in advance, so that the mountains and dandies around my mouth bloomed more brightly. After I timidly sat down on the chair and explained my purpose, the doctor responded to me with a serious face and a "gentle" smile: "This is dermatitis! You have dermatitis, hormone-dependent dermatitis! Who told you to use skin light! That's all hormones, hormone creams, you know? You can put anything on your face, like skin light, dermatophyte, these are strong hormone creams! You didn't go to the hospital and put on 4 tubes! You've got a lot of nerve!" I could tell that the doctor was a responsible person by the way she bared her soul to me after seeing my affected skin. Because I'm an irrelevant person, she can be angry for an irrelevant person, so I know that she wants me to be well and is really in a hurry. "So what was the problem before I put on the 'skin relaxer'?" I asked weakly like a sinning criminal. "Before it was allergies, now it's dermatitis, hormone-dependent dermatitis." Apparently, the doctor had encountered many similar patients before. "Then can it still be cured? When will it be cured?" What I want to know most is when I can see people without the "skin relaxation". "It's curable, but it's slow." I was at my wits' end, like a drowning child who has just surfaced to be hit with a big stick, and the day of my salvation was far away again. The doctor gave me medicines: Blue Cortisone, Tacrolimus and Cetirizine Hydrochloride tablets, an oral western medicine for allergies. After buying all the medicines, I rushed back to Tong Ren Tang. Chinese doctors are not as emotional as Western doctors, perhaps because they are rational. Wearing a mask, Dr. Wang gave me a kind smile with a slight professional color, asked for clarification and then gave me a pulse, and then prescribed a prescription of Chinese medicine to be taken for 7 days, twice a day. At the same time a western medicine was recommended to me - Tacrolimus. It was the same tacrolimus prescribed by the western doctor. I have never used so many types, shapes, styles and uses of medicines in my life. The Blue Botox was a wet compress, the tacrolimus was an application, the Chinese medicine was a drink, and the allergy medicine was taken orally. As for the "skin light" that I never want to mention again, it is immediately, quickly and immediately thrown away. 2010 September is my hormone-dependent dermatitis treatment month. I shut myself up at home every day, applying 2-3 compresses of Blue Botanicals on the affected area with medical gauze for 15 minutes each time, followed by a thin layer of Tacrolimus (0.1%), drinking Chinese herbs once in the morning and once in the evening after a meal, and taking an anti-allergic cetirizine hydrochloride tablet in the evening before going to bed. During the initial week of treatment, my house was unprecedented, filled 24/7 with the strong smell of herbs. To my credit, after a week my skin actually got much better and my skin was almost back to the way it was when I first had it, with only a light red color and a few red spots. In that situation, I was satisfied that my hard work had paid off. There was a surge of joy in my heart. However, strike while the iron is hot. Since I didn't know which medicine had worked, I decided to try the medicine on myself, making a live test on myself, cutting down little by little until I completely removed my dependence on the medicine. 7 pairs of Chinese medicines had already been consumed, so they were automatically canceled. I continued to take one anti-allergy pill every night for another week and stopped buying new ones. Skin didn't get better or worse. Because of the heat, the tacrolimus was a bit greasy on my mouth, so I decided to cancel it for the third week and just use the Blue Tech Skinny. In the fire-like summer, it is indeed very comfortable to use the wet compresses with Blue Skin Care 2-3 times a day, especially when the effect is just after the compresses are applied, and the skin is almost flat when I touch it with my hand. Moreover, Blue Skin is the gentlest of several medications and has no side effects. The description states that even pregnant women can use it. However, the consumption of Blue Tech Skinning is too great, even if it is not the whole face, only bound the perioral area, a bottle of 30 ml, 75 dollars of Blue Tech Skinning before and after saving, at most, can only be used for 7 days. In this way, I insisted on buying 3 more bottles. Finally, the nagging month of September passed in hesitation and loneliness. Skin didn't get better. On the contrary, in early October, there was a trip to Guangzhou. Since the trip was out of town and it was inconvenient to use wet compresses, I planned to wean myself off the Blue Cosmeceuticals a few days in advance, and in the meantime, see if my mouth was ready to get rid of its dependence on the medication. As a result, the nightmare repeated itself. On the third day of the withdrawal, my skin returned to its pre-treatment condition. Later, I learned that this is the legendary rebound phenomenon after weaning off hormones. I was about to go on a business trip, and I happened to have used up all my Blue Skin Nutrients. In a pinch, I remembered Tacrolimus. Now the only remaining "bullet" is it, when I see the doctor, Chinese and Western doctors recommended to me at the same time tacrolimus, should have their reasoning. Besides, the weather is getting cooler and cooler, so I'll take some oil. So, I embarked on the journey with the attitude of giving it a try. On the first and second day of applying Tacrolimus, the skin on the affected area showed almost no change and was still as bright as a flower. The miracle that symbolized the milestone came on the morning of the third day, when the color around the mouth actually lightened significantly, and the skin felt less tight and uncomfortable, as if it was in a state of continuous use of Blue Skin Care. I was delighted. For those who are traveling, it's much more convenient to apply it than wet compresses. I'll apply it first and wait until I come back from Guangzhou. It didn't last long. When I returned to Beijing and tried to stop using tacrolimus on the third day, hormone-dependent dermatitis broke out again. The severity was almost the same as when I stopped using Blue Skin, and it was no less severe than when I had just stopped using SkinEase. I was almost desperate, even two doctors recommended the same medicine can not cure, always this way without saying good and bad, I really can rely on who? However, this was not my biggest worry, but I was afraid that every time I came home, my parents, who did not know the real situation, would see me. And the fear of hearing them mention anything to do with my skin ...... Dad: "It's not better yet! Didn't it get better the last time I came back? How come it's worse this time?" Mom: "Usually when there's inflammation in the mouth, it's a problem with the spleen. I'll take you to see a Chinese medicine practitioner later." Dad: "It's been half a year, when will it end?" Mom: "You can't eat chili at this time!" Dad: "I can't sleep every night because I'm worried about you." Mom: "Did you go to the hospital? You have to take Chinese medicine to get better." ...... During that time, I had already checked all over the Internet from the "hormone-dependent dermatitis forum", "hormone-dependent dermatitis bar" and "hormone-dependent dermatitis QQ group", and the "hormone-dependent dermatitis forum". These posts are almost always from the patient's personal experience and story, of course, to promote the drug for the purpose of earning a high amount of money to the patient's interests are not a few. It is important to realize that patients who are sick and desperate for a cure for radiculopathy, including myself, would pay any amount of money to have their skin back as good as new. People think of all possible ways to cure, including the use of blue skinning, tacrolimus, Avène, Bute, Qichen, with the four major compresses, cold spray, bare face and so on. One of the most used methods is the "bare face", which means that all treatments, including cosmetics and ointments, are not used at all. At the same time, the skin as far as possible not to wash the face, do not get wet. The human body has its own medicine, completely rely on the body's own healing ability to slowly recover, while paying attention to diet and rest, more vitamin supplements. In this way, in a situation of no choice, I chose to bare my face. Every day cat in the house, do not want to let anyone see their mouth sunny appearance. All the while eating and resting and taking lots of vitamins. I've been vegan for 6 years now, so apart from the relative difficulty of avoiding chili peppers, the problem of dietary taboos on things like beef, lamb, seafood, etc. simply doesn't exist. Here to write two more strokes in particular. In fact, animals and people alike have the instinct of greed for life, but also the right to survive. Kind and good people should not bully the weak, the strongest of the weak, those who are unable to fight back to the cruel killing of animals, while drinking blood and eating meat, just to satisfy the appetite. After experiencing the pain of the "skin", we can better understand the feeling of not being able to respond to the call of the day, which is not unlike the feeling of helplessness of the animals before they are slaughtered. On bare-faced days, if I have a training session, I apply tacrolimus 3 days in advance, and on the day of the session, I apply a layer of foundation to ensure that the participants' attention is focused on the content of the session and not on my mouth and skin. My training cycle is not very regular, in general I average 1-2 classes per week. Tacrolimus when I have a class, bare face when I don't. That's an average of 2-3 days of tacrolimus every 1-2 weeks, 2-3 times a day. Skin naturally still comes and goes. Under my careful observation, I noticed a small pattern. On a bare face, the affected area would grow acne-like red bumps. With tacrolimus, the skin gets hot and itchy to the point of unconsciously wanting to scratch with my hands, while liquid inflammation oozes out, then crusts and peels. When I bare my face again, a new round of redness grows on the affected area. Because my hands are of the particularly indebted kind, I can never tolerate any bumps on the surface of the skin, especially when the affected area is scabbed or peeling, and as soon as I have nothing to do, my hands are driven by some force, and I keep picking at it, which is difficult to control. This is really not a good habit, so smartly I came up with a good idea in the later stages of treatment to cut my nails as protruding as Gwen's, so that the desire to pick could be nipped in the bud. How tragic it would be if a mature person could not control their bad behavior! Such a day after 1 month. the end of November, I actually found that the original large bump around the mouth has been disconnected, gradually become a few small pieces, the redness of the skin has also improved. Later I summarized this experience. When using tacrolimus, the medication can act as a kind of push on the premise that the skin is self-healing (bare face), and at the same time, it can cause the toxins to be eliminated quickly. If you don't have to pick at it with your hands, the scabbed area after running water will heal on its own in up to 7 days, otherwise it will leave a little black mark. In this way, the rebound phenomenon around my mouth was less than one round, and the effect of detoxification was more obvious than once. Until the end of December, the wound had gone from a few small red flakes, to multiple red spots. After recovering and discovering the efficacy of tacrolimus, I gradually gained confidence. I felt that if I didn't bare my face and used Tacrolimus 3 days a week and let nature take its course for the remaining 4 days, I might be able to recover faster. What is the best face oil to use if not bare face? On New Year's Day, I saw some posts online about a brand called Qichen. It's herbal, relatively mild, and claims to treat hormone-dependent dermatitis. So I bought the small set recommended by the owner online: the original liquid, serum and multi-effect cream, a **** 249 yuan, the net content of each tube is only 20g, can be used for about 20 days, the price is really not cheap. The boss of the questions I asked very patiently to answer, and finally also special comfort that the radical skin is able to use Qichen cure, but the cycle is relatively long, the shortest is also 3 months to see the effect of healing, the longest 2 years there are. I did a little math, if the 249 dollars for a small set can be used for 20 days, even if the results can be seen in 3 months, you need to buy at least 5 sets. That makes 249 times 5, or $1245, and that's only for just showing results. The good thing is that I only use it for the perioral area, and I've already had some results with tacrolimus, so I only bought one set and will be flexible in using it as I see fit. I didn't expect Qichen to cure radical skin, I just used it as a cleanser and face oil when I didn't use tacrolimus. The multi-action cream would have a cool sensation after application, which is still quite comfortable, at least it's no longer as dry and tight as it was when I was bare-faced. Another month has passed, the skin around the mouth has basically flattened out, with only a scattering of two or three stubborn red bumps, and the rest are the sometimes red and sometimes black acne marks from yawning and picking. By now, I am confident of a full recovery from hormone-dependent dermatitis. The human body has its own great medicine. I believe that acne marks can be eliminated naturally with the change of time. I started searching online for ways on how to get rid of acne marks and implemented them as I did. For example, drinking lemon water, using a compressed mask dipped in white vinegar with water on the face, etc.. It was as if I saw that moment of triumph when the skin on the affected area was as good as new. I even meditatively heard a voice saying to me, "Your mouth will be completely healed by March 1, 2011." I saw a ray of light not far ahead and was confident that I would make a full recovery. Yes, positive psychology is always important. I was able to leave the house without a mask; I was able to go back to my parents' house without covering up; I was able to confidently give lectures to my students without foundation without caring whether their attention was on my mouth or not. The days I once had feel so luxurious to me now. Happiness has returned to me. I can't recall the painful experience of one whole year of purification. During the hellish physical and mental suffering, it was as if my mouth had been cursed by something, and no matter how much I prayed or treated it, nothing helped. At the beginning of my illness, I used all kinds of remedies. For example, I burned goat's beard into powder and applied it to the affected area with perfumed oil, and found a Chinese medicine practitioner to massage my spleen and stomach. Not only did I have to spend money on begging, but I also lost the most precious time to go to the hospital for treatment. People say that ten percent of the disease, three percent of the body disease, seven percent of the heart disease. The real pain is often in the experience of time and again after the treatment and frustration, from the heart of a kind of fear and vulnerability after being overcome by bad luck. Only those who have personally experienced it can feel it. Fortunately, my friends around me did not treat me as an alien, and they have been anxious to find a solution for me. In the middle of the treatment, I was also invited by a friend from the vegetarian circle to participate in a course of fasting and detoxification treatment. This is a healthy dietary detoxification method that has become more fashionable lately. Drinking only fruit and vegetable juices and eating a small amount of fruit every day for seven consecutive days to regulate body functions and flush out toxins. I threw myself wholeheartedly into the whole process, and after seven days, although there was no change in the skin around my mouth, my body showed remarkable detoxification, and my spleen, stomach and digestive system returned to normal. Grateful for my friends! The detoxification process is detailed in the link titled "Seven Day Single Diet Diary": /diary/view.php?classid=0&uid=7691565&did=35414731&pos=3&start=0& ;type=lis Healing Heart In addition, there is a silent force that pushes me when I am in the most pain and helplessness. That is my most beloved spiritual teacher and my Master. I once heard my master tell a true story. When she was young, she went alone to the Himalayas to worship her teacher and seek the Way. She lived in a simple tent every day, and her belongings were very simple: a spoon, a steel cup and two sets of change of clothes. The climate in the Himalayas is very extreme, and one night a violent storm suddenly broke out, with enough wind to blow the Master's tent and all his belongings into the sky. The Master was a small woman with a soft and delicate appearance. Seeing this, she hurriedly got up and went to the outside of the tent, shielding the key parts of the tent with her whole body, in order to ensure that her only humble shelter would not be blown away. The wind grew stronger and stronger, like a vicious devil who wanted to devour the tent and her whole being. At this moment, this thought suddenly rose up inside the Master's heart: I am not afraid of you! Come on! I am not afraid of you! While thinking this, he used all his strength to protect himself and the tent. Soon, the hurricane disappeared without a trace like a defeated descending soldier. Every time I think of this story, that scene flashes in my mind: a weak woman bravely engaging the ferocious environment in the midst of a blistering wind and rain. That image has long been etched in the depths of my memory, surfacing at my most vulnerable moments and reminding me in time, "There is a strength in this world called fearlessness." Yes, adversity can make the strong stronger and the weak weaker. The best way to overcome fear is to face it. I am fortunate to have a Master who gives great strength. He is like a bright light in the dark night, and every time I feel disillusioned and helpless, I am able to regain my courage and overcome my inner fears brought about by external circumstances. When I overcame these fears, I really realized that there is nothing in the world, and that all the gods and horses are floating clouds. Yes, when you are awake, you can help yourself, and when you are lost, you can be helped by your teacher. Gratitude! My master! Conclusion During the year of fighting with hormone-dependent dermatitis, I used "Skin Light" from March to August 2010, until the end of August when I came back from the hospital, then I completely cut off the hormone creams, and formally used Tacrolimus in October until March 1, 2011, when I recovered completely. The price of Tacrolimus (0.1%) is $179, which is not cheap, but it works. From start to finish I only bought one tube and applied a thin layer to the perioral area 2-3 times a day. I've been using it on and off for 5 months since October 2010 and still have about a tenth left to use up. I am now completely weaned off any medication, including Tacrolimus, and can breathe free air to my heart's content. The above is only a personal account of my illness and treatment period. It may be one of the millions of ways to cure hormone-dependent dermatitis. I apologize for any inconvenience. Lastly, please tell your friends and family to be careful with hormone creams, collectively known as the "opiates of the skin", such as Skin Light, Dermatopin, Parasone, Dermatoprost, Euthyrox, Eloxone, Lipitor, Ensure Skin Cream, Ciclofenac, Sokon, Trimet, Dermatoprost, and so on. These creams can cause dependence once they have been applied to the skin, especially the face, for more than 5-7 days. In order to give you a clearer and more graphic understanding of hormone-dependent dermatitis, I used my cell phone to record the entire process from the beginning to the end of the detoxification process. The purpose of contributing my coloring here for free to all of you is to keep everyone away from hormones and never have the same lousy experience as I did. May all hormone dependent dermatitis sufferers recover soon! Just this article to all hormone-dependent dermatitis patients and unknown friends! February 2011 in Beijing and Yi
