Neurodermatitis is a type of allergic disease, mostly developed from dermatitis, eczema, or common allergic reactions. It is generally treated with oral and topical medications, which can control or cure the condition. There is generally no need for laser treatment. Although the skin of neurodermatitis may thicken and proliferate, and the treatment results may be slow, laser treatment can cause extensive damage to the epidermis, making it more difficult to heal later. It is essential to receive proper treatment in the dermatology department of a regular hospital for neurodermatitis. Instead of using laser, treatment can include oral and topical medications, along with options like red or blue light therapy or liquid nitrogen freezing. After recovery, it's important to regulate your diet and lifestyle habits, avoid staying up late, exercise appropriately, and not wash with hot water.

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.

Can neurodermatitis be completely cured?

The onset factors of neurodermatitis may be related to various factors such as neuropsychiatric factors, diet, local skin irritation, gastrointestinal dysfunction, and endocrine disorders. It tends to form a vicious cycle of itching, scratching, and more itching during the onset process. Therefore, the characteristic of this disease is that it progresses slowly, persists for a long time without healing or recurs repeatedly.
