Patients with eczema can choose some foods that have the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, removing dampness and relieving itching, strengthening the spleen and aiding digestion, cooling the blood and calming the liver. However, dietary therapy only plays a supporting role in treatment and is not a professional method. Therefore, patients with eczema must actively seek treatment under the guidance of a doctor.

Breast eczema and eczematous carcinoma

Breast eczema and eczematous carcinoma are very different and completely distinct from one another. Firstly, breast eczema is an inflammatory skin disease, whereas eczematous carcinoma is a malignant skin disease. Additionally, breast eczema typically presents with eczematous skin manifestations like erythema, papules, and vesicles, while eczematous carcinoma may also present with breast lumps. Finally, in terms of treatment, breast eczema can be completely cured, whereas eczematous carcinoma cannot be completely cured if it progresses to a late stage.

Can eczema spread?

Generally, based on the distribution characteristics of eczema rashes, we can divide it into localized eczema and generalized eczema. Localized eczema occurs in specific areas, such as the hands, ears, vulva, perianal area, breasts, elbow pits, popliteal fossae, and lower legs. These eczema cases generally do not spread but are relatively fixed. Generalized eczema, however, can be locally scattered or spread throughout the body. When care is improper, due to excessive scratching, scalding with hot water, failure to treat promptly or incorrectly, excessive use of steroids, or if it is accompanied by other internal diseases (such as diabetes, hyperthyroidism, etc.) that are not well controlled, then the range of the eczema rashes might spread throughout the body.

How long does it take to cure acute eczema?

The healing time for genital warts varies from person to person. Genital warts can easily recur, and therefore, the healing time can be longer for some and shorter for others. If there is no recurrence at all, genital warts can potentially be cured within a week using physical treatment methods. Since there is no recurrence, wound healing is considered recovery. For some people, the warts may recur repeatedly, and the healing time could extend beyond a year. For recurrent genital warts, in addition to removing the warts themselves, immunomodulatory drugs can be used for treatment. Oral medications such as imiquimod or thymosin may be administered to enhance the body's resistance and reduce recurrence. Additionally, sexual partners must be treated simultaneously to prevent mutual infection and continuous reoccurrence. (Specific medications should be used under the guidance of a physician.)

The difference between prickly heat and eczema

Prickly heat and eczema, although both are skin-related diseases, have significant differences. Firstly, looking at the causes, prickly heat mainly results from excessive sweat due to overheating and high temperatures which cannot escape. Eczema, on the other hand, is caused by a variety of internal and external factors such as allergies, seasons, and weather, leading to an allergic skin disease. Regarding treatment, prickly heat can be addressed with prickly heat powder or some cooling ointments, which often result in a cure. In contrast, eczema is typically treated with antihistamines or astringent medications. (Please use medication under the guidance of a doctor)
