What should I do about allergic eczema on the skin?
Eczema is an allergic skin disease with multifactorial triggers. The skin lesions in eczema may present in various forms, including erythema, papules, vesicopapules, blisters, as well as exudation, crusting, and scaling, accompanied by varying degrees of itching. Based on the duration of the disease, eczema can be classified as acute, subacute, or chronic, and can occur anywhere on the body. It is necessary to enhance skin moisturizing care and provide symptomatic treatment such as anti-allergy and anti-inflammatory measures. Oral medications such as levocetirizine tablets, total glucosides of paeony capsules, and tripterygium glycosides tablets can be used. For the skin lesions caused by eczema, topical steroid ointments can be applied for early symptom control, which can later be switched to non-steroidal medications, such as ketoprofen cream, oxibendazole cream, and compound heparin sodium cream, etc. (Please follow the doctor's prescription for medication use.)
What foods should be avoided with scrotal eczema?
Scrotal eczema is a type of allergic disease, which due to its unique location of onset, requires special attention in the selection of topical medications while undergoing anti-allergic treatment. In terms of diet, it is necessary to avoid spicy and irritating foods, drink more water, and consume plenty of fresh vegetables and fruits. Oral administration of levocetirizine tablets and moisturizing anti-itch capsules, total paeony glycoside capsules, and other medications are used. On top of basic skin care, non-steroidal medications such as pimecrolimus cream and compound heparin sodium cream should be applied to the affected areas. Avoid excessive scratching and washing with hot water, and wear loose cotton underwear. Eczema is a polygenic-related hypersensitivity disease with complex triggers and symptoms that tend to recur. It is not easy to cure completely, requiring comprehensive management and patience. Treatment should not be rushed and must be conducted under medical guidance.
Can physiological saline be used for wet compresses on rosacea?
Rosacea belongs to a type of inflammatory lesions. During the acute phase, saline can be used for wet compresses and anti-inflammatory symptomatic treatment can be provided. It is recommended to avoid spicy and irritating foods, protect from the sun, avoid emotional agitation, and routinely use medical skincare products such as sensitive moisturizing series. Oral medications include clarithromycin slow-release tablets, vitamin A acid capsules, and hydroxychloroquine sulfate tablets. At the site of the skin lesions, topical applications like Bimamose cream and other medications can be used, along with physical therapy measures, including desensitization treatments using sensitivity therapy instruments, as well as anti-inflammatory treatments with yellow light exposure and intense pulsed light therapy. Rosacea is prone to recurrence and fluctuating conditions, requiring patience and long-term management.
Which vitamin B should be taken for itchy skin?
For skin itching, one can usually choose to take oral vitamin E capsules to strengthen the repair of the skin barrier. Daily care should be based on moisturizing, actively investigating the factors that cause itching, monitoring blood sugar, avoiding spicy irritants, wearing cotton underwear, and providing symptomatic treatment such as itch relief. Oral medications like cetirizine tablets, moisturizing and itch-relieving capsules, and vitamin B1 tablets can be used. In the area of the skin that itches, topical applications like dampness-removing and itch-relieving creams and calamine lotion can be used to soothe the itching. Avoid using hot water for washing and excessive scratching. Pay attention to moisturizing skin care, and timely application of medical skin care products such as anti-itch moisturizing lotion after bathing. (Medication should be used under the guidance of a physician.)
Will syringoma disappear on its own?
Syringoma is a type of benign tumor that originates from sweat glands, commonly found around the eyes, and predominantly seen in adult women, especially those over 40 years old. Generally, it is asymptomatic. Syringomas do not disappear on their own and require physical treatment methods for removal. This condition does not affect health, but for cosmetic reasons, removal can be accomplished using laser methods. Histopathologically, the distal sweat ducts exhibit tadpole-like changes. It is important to avoid picking or squeezing them, as using medications is ineffective; only physical treatment measures can facilitate their removal.
Filiform warts are caused by what?
Filiform warts, also known as skin tags, often have a certain family history and are common among overweight adults, particularly around the neck area. It is important to enhance skin cleanliness. Partially, the cause is a viral infection by the Human Papillomavirus, abbreviated as HPV. When necessary, physical treatments such as cryotherapy with liquid nitrogen or laser removal commonly used in clinical settings can be adopted to remove the warts. These methods are complemented by immune modulation, such as taking oral thymopentin enteric capsules, and applying interferon gel on the affected skin area to inhibit viral replication. The contagiousness is not very strong. It is advised to disinfect underwear and avoid harmful stimuli such as scratching or squeezing. (Please follow medical advice when using medications.)
What should I do if rosacea recurrently flares up?
Rose acne is a type of chronic inflammatory skin disease that can manifest as recurrent symptoms. It requires anti-inflammatory symptomatic treatment, enhanced skin cleansing, and moisturizing care, and the coordinated use of soothing and moisturizing dermatological products. Sun protection is necessary, and spicy and irritating foods should be avoided. Oral medications such as cetirizine tablets, total paeony glycoside capsules, hydroxychloroquine sulfate tablets, and doxycycline hydrochloride capsules may be used. When necessary, retinoic acid drugs can be applied, and growth factor gel can be used topically to repair skin lesions. In addition to regular dietary habits, physical therapies such as yellow light irradiation should also be incorporated.
Can common warts be removed by soaking in vinegar?
Common warts are infections caused by the human papillomavirus, commonly known as "prickly warts." Using vinegar to soak them is ineffective. It is necessary to enhance local cleanliness, with physical treatment methods being the first choice, such as cryotherapy with liquid nitrogen or combined photodynamic therapy. Treatments may also include laser or surgical options, supported by immunological aids, such as oral thymopentin enteric capsules, and possibly supplemented by Avi A to promote the regression of the warts. Additionally, topical applications of interferon gel and tazarotene cream help inhibit viral replication and soften the keratin layer, respectively. Treatment usually requires about three to four weeks, with follow-up visits every one to two weeks. The cryotherapy can be administered in multiple sessions to prevent picking and the formation of injuries. (Medication should be used under the guidance of a physician.)
How to treat dry and itchy skin?
For dry skin accompanied by itching, which is diagnosed as dry eczema, it is necessary to enhance skin moisturizing care, drink more water, and timely use medical skin care products such as soft moisturizing cream after bathing with warm water. It is encouraged to drink Ophiopogon japonicus, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables and a moderate amount of nuts, avoid spicy, stimulating, and fried foods, and take oral medications such as cetirizine tablets, moisturizing and anti-itch capsules, vitamin B1 tablets, and vitamin E. For itchy areas of the skin, topical application of dampness-removing and itch-relieving cream, heparin sodium cream, and other medications can be used. The key is to strengthen the daily repair of the skin barrier and reduce the use of alkaline substances. (Medication should be used under the guidance of a physician.)
How to treat suppurative paronychia?
Paronychia is a bacterial infection that requires enhanced cleaning of the nail groove and administration of anti-infection symptomatic treatment. Rest, a light diet, and nutritional support are important. Oral or intravenous antibiotics should be used, with cephalosporins recommended. Additionally, combating anaerobic bacteria is necessary. This can be coordinated with surgical dressing changes and local treatment. Iodine disinfection may be employed, and incision and drainage may be necessary to promote pus discharge. Ichthyol ointment may also be used to help draw out the pus. During treatment, increased water intake and improved cleanliness and care of the nail groove are recommended, along with avoiding dirty water to aid recovery.
