Neurodermatitis, also known as chronic simple lichen, is a common chronic inflammatory skin disorder characterized by episodic intense itching and lichenified skin. The causes of this disorder may be related to various internal and external factors, including neuropsychiatric factors, endocrine disturbances, gastrointestinal dysfunction, diet, and local skin irritants. If you are not allergic to eggs, you can generally eat eggs with neurodermatitis. However, you should consume less alcohol and avoid spicy, hot foods, and foods that may trigger allergic reactions such as shrimp, crab, and other seafood.

Symptoms of scrotal neurodermatitis

Neurodermatitis is a common chronic inflammatory disease characterized by episodic severe itching and lichenoid skin changes, frequently seen in young and middle-aged adults. It often occurs in areas such as the neck, lateral sides of both elbows, sacral region, thighs, perineum, and around the anus. When it affects the scrotal area, its base layer can appear as pinpoint or rice-grain-sized polygonal flat papules, in light red, light brown, or normal skin color, generally firm and shiny. The surface may have small amounts of scale. Due to repeated scratching and rubbing, the lesions can gradually merge into large patches, and the local skin becomes thickened and rough, forming lichenoid changes accompanied by severe itching.

What vitamins should be taken for neurodermatitis?

The clinical characteristics of neurodermatitis primarily include lichenoid changes on the skin and episodic severe itching. Therefore, clinically, we generally administer oral antihistamines and calcium supplements. However, since the etiology might be related to neuropsychiatric factors, we often also combine these with oral vitamin B1, vitamin B12, complex B vitamins, vitamin C, and glutathione, among others.

What medicine is used for neurodermatitis of the eyelid?

Neurodermatitis, also known as chronic simple lichen, is a common chronic inflammatory skin disease characterized by paroxysmal severe itching and lichenoid changes in the skin, which are symptoms of a dysfunctional neurogenic disorder. The causes of the disease may be related to various internal and external factors such as neuropsychiatric factors, gastrointestinal dysfunction, endocrine disorders, local foreign body irritation, diet, etc. For neurodermatitis occurring on the eyelids, our first advice to patients is to avoid scratching and rubbing as much as possible, as these actions are major triggers or aggravating factors; secondly, use mild, minimally irritating topical medications such as moisturizing and anti-itch drugs, tar-based medications, and herbal ointments. It’s recommended to use corticosteroid creams sparingly or not at all. When applying medication, use them thinly and sparingly to minimize absorption due to the thin and highly vascular nature of the eyelid skin. In severe cases, oral antihistamines and calcium supplements can be used in combination.
