Eczema is called "wet toxic sore" or "wet sore" in Chinese medicine. The so-called "poison" refers to some heat poisons that cause rejection and sensitive reactions in the body. These heat poisons may be caused by food, drugs or daily necessities (such as paint, chemical glue, mothballs, etc.). As for "wet", it means that the body is not functioning properly because of wet. Because the human body is 70% water, if the running of water is stagnant, the body will be in a "wet" state, with symptoms such as heavy limbs, edema, disharmony between the spleen and stomach, and thin stool.
The treatment of eczema mainly includes removing inducement, protecting skin function, drug therapy, local external application, anti-inflammation, traditional Chinese medicine treatment and so on. Consult a professional doctor for specific medication.
1. At present, eczema is considered to be related to external stimuli, such as sunlight, humid environment and microbial infection. Therefore, the most simple and controllable general treatment for eczema is to remove the influencing factors, such as sun protection when going out, keeping the living environment clean and humid, cleaning mites regularly and eating less seafood.
2. Protect the skin function barrier. If the skin barrier of eczema patients is damaged, it will increase the risk of infection. Therefore, drugs can promote skin repair or hydration to reduce the occurrence of eczema.
3. The drugs for eczema mainly include calamine lotion, ethacridine solution and other local drugs. Patients with chronic eczema are advised to add glucocorticoid ointment to play an anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory role, and calcineurin inhibitors such as tacrolimus can also be used.
4. Systematically use antihistamines to relieve itching, such as cetirizine, vitamin C for anti-oxidation and anti-allergy.
5. Chinese medicine treatment can use compound glycyrrhizin and so on.
Eczema patients should see a dermatologist in time and don't take medicine blindly.
