How to treat insect bite dermatitis?
Insect bite dermatitis, medically also known as papular urticaria, generally presents with mild symptoms. It appears as a red welt with possible small blisters in the center. This type of dermatitis typically improves with the application of calamine lotion. For severe redness and pain, antiallergic medication such as loratadine can be taken, and topical corticosteroids may be applied. More severe symptoms may include blisters, erosion, and rupture. In such cases, it is advisable to seek treatment at a dermatology department of a formal hospital where the affected area can be cleaned with iodine and treated with infrared therapy, supplemented appropriately with oral traditional Chinese medicine that clears heat and detoxifies, such as Potentilla chinensis anti-inflammatory oral solution.

What is eczematous dermatitis?
Eczematous dermatitis is a manifestation of dermatitis, with the main clinical manifestations being millet-sized papules, vesicopustules, or vesicles on the skin, accompanied by erythema that can merge into patchy areas. Frequent scratching can lead to exudation, erosion, secondary infection, and in severe cases, the formation of pustules and crusts. Eczematous dermatitis is a type of allergic skin disease. It is usually necessary to identify the specific allergens involved. One can visit a hospital to check for allergens and then undergo treatment with antihistamines as directed by a doctor. If there is significant exudation, topical treatment can include wet dressings with lactic acid, ichthammol solution, or boric acid solution. Treatment can also be supplemented with traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine combined, based on differential diagnosis.

How to treat seborrheic dermatitis on the face?
Seborrheic dermatitis is a chronic, superficial inflammatory skin disease with papular and scaly lesions that occurs in areas with excessive sebum secretion, often accompanied by varying degrees of itching. When seborrheic dermatitis affects the face, our clinical treatment mainly includes three aspects. The first is topical medication treatment, which can involve the use of low-concentration tacrolimus ointment or pimecrolimus cream, as well as zinc oxide oil, nitrofurazone ointment, zinc oxide and boric acid ointment, etc. If necessary, short-term use of compound preparations containing glucocorticoids and antibiotics, such as compound miconazole ointment and compound econazole ointment, may be employed. The second is oral medication, which can supplement B-group vitamins, primarily B2, B6, or a compound vitamin B, as well as zinc-containing preparations. For severe itching, antihistamines can be taken orally. In cases of bacterial infection, antibiotics such as erythromycin or tetracycline can be used, and can be supplemented with traditional Chinese herbal decoctions. The third aspect is to inform patients to maintain a regular lifestyle with sufficient sleep, limit high-carbohydrate and high-fat diets, avoid spicy and irritant foods, avoid alcohol consumption, eat more vegetables and fruits, avoid various mechanical irritations, and use less hot water and highly alkaline soap when washing the face.

Symptoms of dermatitis eczema
Dermatitis and eczema are diseases of the same nature, both classified as hypersensitivity disorders. Their clinical symptoms manifest as pruritic papules and plaques all over the body, accompanied by scaling and varying degrees of itching. The triggering factors are multifaceted, including genetics, environment, metabolism, and more, necessitating the strengthening of skin barrier repair. Daily care is based on moisturizing, recommending the use of medical skincare products such as soft moisturizing creams, and providing symptomatic treatments such as anti-inflammatory and antihistamine to regulate immunity. Medications including oral ebastine tablets, total glucosides of paeony capsules, and tripterygium glycosides tablets, as well as topical tacrolimus ointment, are suggested. (The use of medications should be under the guidance of a physician.)

Angular cheilitis dermatitis is a deficiency of what?
Angular cheilitis is generally more common in the dry seasons of autumn and winter, because the skin around the lips is quite delicate. During the dry air of autumn and winter, the lips cannot withstand prolonged irritation, leading to dryness, peeling, and even bleeding of the lips. It can also occur in some patients who have long-term malnutrition, insufficient intake of vitamins, and some trace elements, leading to inflammation and erosion at the corners of the mouth, with no specific underlying causes identified. It is recommended that patients focus on regulating their diet and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Drinking more water, eating fresh vegetables and fruits, avoiding staying up late, and developing good living habits are advisable. Taking certain vitamins and trace elements as needed, and applying anti-inflammatory ointment to the affected areas can help with inflammation and repair.

How to completely cure seborrheic dermatitis of the scalp?
Seborrheic dermatitis, also known as seborrheic eczema, is a chronic, superficial inflammatory skin disease characterized by papular scaly rashes, predominantly occurring in areas rich in sebaceous glands such as the head, face, and trunk. The exact cause of this disease is still not fully understood. It is mainly believed to be related to an increase in sebum secretion or changes in its chemical composition. Additionally, colonization and infection by Malassezia yeast, along with factors like stress, diet, deficiency in B vitamins, and alcohol consumption can all influence the occurrence and development of this condition to varying degrees. Due to these factors, the disease has a chronic course and may relapse repeatedly. Seborrheic dermatitis occurring on the scalp, although clinically curable, can still experience flare-ups. Its symptoms mainly include oily hair, scalp papules, erythema, dandruff, and itching. Clinical treatment primarily involves the use of shampoos containing ketoconazole, selenium sulfide, or salicylic acid. This can be accompanied by oral antihistamines, supplementation with B vitamins, or zinc-containing preparations. It is crucial to maintain regular life habits, ensure sufficient sleep, restrict diets high in polysaccharides and fats, increase the consumption of vegetables and fruits, avoid alcohol and spicy irritant foods, use less hot water and strongly alkaline soaps for bathing, and avoid various types of mechanical irritation to reduce the recurrence of scalp seborrheic dermatitis.

Difference between allergic dermatitis and neurodermatitis
Neurodermatitis is a common chronic inflammatory skin disease characterized by episodic severe itching and lichenoid skin changes. Its causes may be related to various factors including neuropsychiatric factors, diet, local skin irritation, gastrointestinal dysfunction, and endocrine disorders. It commonly occurs in the neck, elbows, knees, sacrococcygeal region, perineum, and around the anus. The lesions are characterized by pinhead- or rice-grain-sized polygonal flat papules, which are pale red, pale brown, or normal skin colored, with a hard and glossy texture. They may be covered with a small amount of scale, and over time, the lesions can merge into large plaques, with the local skin becoming thickened and rough, showing lichenoid changes. Allergic dermatitis is an allergic reaction disease caused by contact with allergens. Its lesions are diverse, which can be erythema, papules, vesicles, swelling, and accompanied by itching. Therefore, localized allergic dermatitis due to improper treatment, lack of timely treatment, or repeated scratching, can develop into neurodermatitis.

What are the symptoms of seborrheic dermatitis?
Seborrheic dermatitis, also known as seborrheic eczema, is a chronic, superficial inflammatory skin disease characterized by papular and scaly inflammation that occurs in areas of sebum secretion. It can be associated with varying degrees of itching and is commonly seen in adults and newborns. The main symptoms include hair follicle papules appearing in areas of sebum secretion such as the scalp, face, chest, and back, which then merge into dark red or yellow-red patches. These patches are covered with greasy scales and crusts, which can lead to exudation, crusting, and erosion, manifesting eczematous changes. In severe cases, the lesions can spread throughout the body, leading to diffuse erythema and significant desquamation. At this stage, it is referred to as seborrheic erythroderma. This condition is chronic and may have recurrent episodes.

Seborrheic dermatitis facial symptoms
Seborrheic dermatitis, also known as seborrheic eczema, is a chronic papular and scaly superficial inflammatory skin disease that occurs in areas where sebum is secreted, and it can be accompanied by itching of varying degrees. The causes of the disease are generally believed to be related to increased sebum secretion or changes in the chemical composition of the sebum. It is also associated with colonization and infection by Malassezia yeast. Factors such as stress, diet, deficiency of B vitamins, and alcohol consumption can also affect the onset and progression of the disease to varying degrees. When seborrheic dermatitis occurs on the face, its symptoms primarily manifest as initial follicular papules that gradually merge and expand into dark red or yellowish-red patches. These patches have oily or dry scales and in severe cases may exhibit exudation, crusting, erosion, presenting eczema-like changes.
