Internal and external treatment of eczema

  Eczema is one of the most common allergic skin diseases, characterized by a polymorphic rash, symmetrical distribution, intense itching, and a tendency to become chronic. The disease has recurrent episodes and seriously affects patients’ physical and mental health and quality of life, which is called “wet sores” or “dip sores” in Chinese medicine. Our clinic uses a combination of Chinese and Western medicine to treat chronic eczema and has achieved good results.  Chinese medicine believes that eczema is caused by an intolerant endowment, combined with dietary disorders, internal injuries, dampness and heat, or external wind, dampness, heat and other evils fighting against the skin. Chronic eczema recurring attacks are mostly due to blood deficiency, wind dryness and stasis or spleen deficiency and dampness. Due to the weakness of the body after a long illness, the lack of yin and blood, the lack of nourishment for the skin or the weakness of the spleen and stomach and the injury to the spleen after a long illness, the spleen is deficient in its transportation and water and dampness are trapped in the skin, causing eczema. It has the ability to nourish blood, tonify blood, and dispel wind. It has the function of nourishing blood, replenishing blood, dispelling wind and moistening dryness to relieve itching. The clinical use of Atractylodes macrocephala, Gentiana macrophylla, Dampi and Danshen replaces Doklam, Chaihu, Peppermint and Jujube in the original formula, while the composition of other drugs remains unchanged. Cang Zhu and Gentiana Macrophylla can strengthen the effect of dispelling wind and removing dampness, while Dan Pi and Dan Shen strengthen the effect of invigorating blood circulation and resolving blood stasis. In this formula, Thornbush, Bupleurum, Cicada, and Bai Xian Pi are used to dispel wind and relieve itching; supplemented with Angelica and Radix Paeoniae to cool the Blood and harmonize it. This formula is a combination of Siwu Tang and Feng Wan San, which treats the root of the problem by taking into account both internal and external factors, and dividing the exterior and interior. This formula is based on the development of the coup d’oeuvre by Thornbush, Bupleurum and Cicada, which can penetrate the wind evil on the surface; because of blood heat and stagnation, Angelica sinensis is used to harmonize the camp and invigorate the Blood. The combination of these herbs has the function of removing toxins, clearing wind and heat, eliminating dampness and subduing swelling. The combination of Siwu Tang treatment implies that the treatment of wind is preceded by the treatment of blood, and that the wind will be eliminated when the blood moves.  Western medicine believes that eczema is caused by a variety of internal and external factors, the effective removal of bacteria and fungi is conducive to the treatment of eczema dermatitis-type skin diseases. The main component of Halometasone cream is Halometasone, a potent topical glucocorticoid containing a halogen base, with anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic, vasoconstrictive and anti-proliferative effects, which can quickly reduce and eliminate itching and other symptoms.  If you use western medicine to treat the symptoms of eczema on top of Chinese herbal medicine to treat the root cause, adjusting the inner environment that causes eczema, treating both inside and outside, taking into account both the symptoms and the root cause, the effect will be more obvious and long-lasting.
