What is the body lacking in neurodermatitis?
Neurodermatitis, also known as chronic simple lichen, is a common chronic inflammatory skin disease characterized by paroxysmal severe itching and lichenoid skin changes due to nervous dysfunction. The causes of the disease may be related to neuropsychiatric factors such as irritability, overthinking, tension, depression, fatigue, and poor sleep. It is also associated with gastrointestinal dysfunction and endocrine disorders. Additionally, local skin irritations such as friction from stiff collars, exposure to chemicals, infection sites, soaking in sweat, and sun exposure are related, as well as diet, including alcohol consumption, and the avoidance of spicy or stimulating foods like chili peppers, and allergenic foods such as crabs and other seafood. These factors can all contribute to the development of neurodermatitis, which is not related to any deficiency in the body.
Do you need to take medicine for skin allergies?
Whether or not you need to take medication for skin allergies depends on the amount and area of your allergies. If the allergic area is small and limited, we can generally use topical medications and avoid oral medications. However, if the allergic area is extensive and covers a large area, we usually recommend timely oral medications and, if necessary or in severe cases, intravenous administration.

What ointment should be used for seborrheic dermatitis?
Seborrheic dermatitis, also known as seborrheic eczema, is a chronic papular scaly superficial inflammatory skin disease that occurs in areas where sebum is secreted. It can be accompanied by varying degrees of itchiness and commonly occurs on the scalp, face, chest, back, and other areas rich in sebaceous glands. The general principle for topical treatment of seborrheic dermatitis involves degreasing, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and anti-itching measures. Commonly used topical medications include combined formulations containing corticosteroids and antifungals such as compound ketoconazole and compound econazole. When these are not effective, calcineurin inhibitors such as tacrolimus or pimecrolimus can be used. In cases with exudation and erosion, products like zinc oxide ointment, boric acid zinc oxide menthol cream, and erythromycin eye ointment may be selected.
What fruits to eat for seborrheic dermatitis?
Seborrheic dermatitis is a chronic papular and scaly superficial inflammatory skin disease that occurs in areas of the skin where sebum is secreted, often accompanied by varying degrees of itching. The causes are generally believed to be related to increased sebum secretion or changes in its chemical composition, as well as colonization and infection by Malassezia. Other factors such as stress, diet, alcohol consumption, deficiency of B-complex vitamins, fatigue, emotional stress, infections, etc., can all influence the onset and development of the disease to varying degrees. Clinically, patients are advised to maintain regular life habits, ensure sufficient sleep, adjust their diet, limit polysaccharides and fats, avoid spicy and stimulating foods, avoid alcohol, and consume more vegetables and fruits. As for what types of fruits to eat, it is generally better to choose fruits rich in B-complex vitamins, such as tomatoes, bananas, grapes, kiwis, pears, walnuts, chestnuts, oranges, etc.
AIDS is a disease caused by the invasion of the HIV virus into the immune system.
After the HIV virus enters the human body, it reproduces and replicates in the blood system, then attacks the human immune system, causing a severe deficiency in immune function, leading to a decrease in the body's resistance. When the immune system is weakened, it will be accompanied by invasions of various pathogens and even the occurrence of various malignant tumors.
Can people with skin allergies eat peanuts?
If you have skin allergies, be a little cautious with peanuts. If you have never been allergic to peanuts, eating them while having a skin allergy should not be a problem. Peanuts have high nutritional value and can be compared to animal foods such as eggs, milk, and meat, earning them the nickname "longevity fruit." Traditional Chinese medicine says that peanuts can strengthen the spleen and stomach and moisten the lungs to reduce phlegm. Clinically, we still see patients who are allergic to peanuts. Therefore, if you have been allergic to peanuts before, you should avoid eating them.
"AIDS negative" means what?
HIV negative means that the HIV antibody test is negative, indicating that the person is not infected with HIV. However, this test result is conditional; the test must be conducted after the window period of HIV, which is between the 4th to 8th weeks. Further tests may be necessary at 3 or 6 months if needed.
How to completely cure genital herpes virus?
Genital herpes is a chronic, recurrent, and difficult-to-cure sexually transmitted disease caused by the infection of the urinary and genital mucous membranes and perianal skin by the herpes simplex virus. Currently, there are no drugs or methods in clinical practice that can completely eliminate the herpes simplex virus, so the genital herpes virus cannot be completely killed, and genital herpes cannot be completely cured.
How to treat symptoms of seborrheic dermatitis?
Seborrheic dermatitis is a chronic papular and scaly superficial inflammatory skin disease that occurs in areas where sebum is secreted. It is often accompanied by varying degrees of itching and commonly affects areas with abundant sebaceous glands, such as the head, face, and trunk. The disease is chronic and may recur periodically. Treatment generally includes three aspects: Firstly, patients should be informed to maintain a regular lifestyle, get sufficient sleep, avoid various mechanical irritations, use less hot water and strongly alkaline soaps for bathing, and pay attention to their diet. They should try to reduce or limit the intake of polysaccharides, alcohol, and spicy foods, while consuming more vegetables and fruits. Secondly, topical medications are used, generally choosing formulations that contain corticosteroids and antifungal agents, such as compound miconazole and compound econazole. If the response is inadequate, calcineurin inhibitors such as tacrolimus and pimecrolimus can be used. Zinc oxide ointment, boric acid and zinc oxide camphor ointment, and erythromycin ointment can be used when there are exuding erosions. If the scalp is affected, shampoos containing ketoconazole or selenium sulfide may be used. Thirdly, oral medication treatments typically include supplementation with B vitamins such as vitamin B2, B6, complex B vitamins, or zinc-containing formulations. For severe itching, antihistamines can be taken orally. Oral itraconazole may be used for fungal infections or widespread lesions. Tetracycline or erythromycin may be used for bacterial infections.
