Neurodermatitis, also known as chronic simple lichen, is a common chronic inflammatory dermatoneurosis characterized by paroxysmal severe itching and lichenoid changes in the skin. The cause of the disease may be related to various internal and external factors such as neuropsychiatric factors, gastrointestinal dysfunction, endocrine disorders, diet, and local skin irritation. Women with neurodermatitis can become pregnant, but the severe itching associated with neurodermatitis can lead to adverse reactions in the mental and sleep states of pregnant women, so it is recommended that pregnant women with neurodermatitis should seek active treatment.

Does garlic treat neurodermatitis?

Neurodermatitis, also known as chronic simple lichen, is a common chronic inflammatory skin disorder characterized by episodic intense itching and lichenification. The causes may be related to various internal and external factors, including neuropsychiatric factors, gastrointestinal dysfunction, endocrine disorders, diet, and local irritation. Clinically, treatment involves the careful selection of topical medications based on the characteristics, location, and type of skin lesions. Common topical medications include corticosteroid ointments, tar ointments, and moisturizing anti-itch ointments. Folk remedies often use garlic to treat neurodermatitis. In traditional Chinese medicine, garlic is known for its insecticidal and itch-relieving properties, but it is quite irritating. Intense irritation on the skin can cause redness, blisters, swelling, and itching, leading to allergic dermatitis. Therefore, it is not recommended to use garlic for treating neurodermatitis.

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.
