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.

How to treat diaper rash dermatitis?

Diaper dermatitis is primarily a type of contact dermatitis that occurs because the diapers soaked with urine and feces are not changed in time. Decomposition materials in urine and feces irritate the skin, causing inflammation. The main treatment involves keeping the buttocks dry and changing diapers frequently. It is necessary to wash the buttocks, genital area, and surrounding skin with clean water daily, and to rinse the anus and surrounding skin with water after bowel movements. Diapers should be thoroughly rinsed with clean water and not wrapped with plastic on the outside. If using disposable diapers, choose ones that are soft, not rough, and breathable. If there is a bacterial or fungal infection, topical antibiotics or antifungal medications should be used. For mild cases with only redness, consider keeping the buttocks dry. In cases where there is significant erosion, some medications may be used for intervention. If there is skin redness, topical calamine lotion can be applied. If the diaper dermatitis is severe and the baby is fussy and uncomfortable, it is advised to visit a hospital for a doctor to provide treatment based on the specific condition of the baby.

How to cure allergic dermatitis?

To cure allergic dermatitis, the first step is to identify the allergen. Once identified, you can avoid it and use medication in combination, which can completely cure this type of dermatitis. When allergic dermatitis occurs, it is crucial to actively eliminate the allergen and supplement with oral antihistamine medications, as well as traditional Chinese medicine. Treatment should involve a combination of Chinese and Western medicine. Allergic dermatitis must be detected and treated early. Treating this allergy-related skin disease in its mild stages can prevent recurrence. It is also important to persist with medication under a doctor's guidance, as stopping medication midway through treatment or due to fear of side effects can lead to a relapse. For those suffering from allergic dermatitis, diet should also be considered; avoid seafood, shellfish, and spicy or irritating foods.

The difference between neurodermatitis and allergic dermatitis

Neurodermatitis, also known as chronic simple lichen, is a common chronic inflammatory skin disease characterized by paroxysmal severe itching and lichenoid skin changes. Its main causes may be related to various internal and external factors such as neuropsychiatric factors, gastrointestinal dysfunction, endocrine disorders, diet, and local skin irritation. It commonly occurs on the neck, elbows, lumbosacral area, inner thighs, perineum, and around the anus. The skin lesions are characterized by pinpoint or rice grain-sized polygonal flat papules that are pale red, tan, or normal skin color, with a hard and glossy texture. They may be covered with a small amount of scale and, over time, can merge into large plaques, leading to thickened, rough skin with lichenoid changes. Allergic dermatitis is an hypersensitivity reaction skin disease caused by contact with various allergens, characterized by diverse skin lesions such as erythema, papules, vesicles, swelling, and itching, which can occur all over the body. However, localized allergic dermatitis, if treated improperly or not treated in a timely manner, or due to repeated scratching, can potentially develop into neurodermatitis.

Symptoms of Allergic Dermatitis

Allergic dermatitis is a common skin disease characterized primarily by allergic skin reactions, manifesting as numerous small and large papules on the body, and may also include symptoms of itching. If itching is significant, scratching is likely to occur, which can lead to bleeding, scabbing, and flaking of the small papules. After developing allergic dermatitis, it is crucial to promptly identify the allergen and treat the condition accordingly, avoiding contact with foods that may trigger allergies.
