Eczema is a relatively common inflammatory disease of the epidermis and superficial dermis caused by a variety of factors. It is not easy to treat because of the large number of rashes that appear on the skin during its onset and its tendency to recur. Once suffering from eczema, many patients have a lot of concerns or doubts: Is eczema developing because of toxic blood in the body? Can this disease be transmitted to family members? When eczema causes itching, using hot compresses and scalding is the best and effective way to stop itching? These are the mysteries that some eczema patients want to solve. Myth 1: Eczema patients’ blood is toxic Many patients think their blood is toxic to suffer from eczema, which is a misconception caused by a lack of medical knowledge. Eczema is polymorphic and is related to skin allergies, sensitivity, allergic rhinitis, asthma, work or school stress and other factors, some of which are not caused by a single factor. Some people have good skin, but after improper diet or sun exposure, it can also cause eczema or make the existing eczema worse! The actual fact is that there is no such thing as a poison. The second misconception is that eczema is contagious, which is not based on medical evidence. Eczema is usually genetic, and if a grandparent has eczema, the chances of a father or son having eczema are generally much higher. However, eczema itself is not contagious, but eczema is a kind of allergic skin disease, generally allergic body has a certain degree of contagious. The first thing you need to do is to use a hot compress to stop the itching. When eczema causes unbearable itching, use hot water to bathe the affected area (or apply a hot compress) and the itchy part will immediately feel much more comfortable. However, this comfort is only temporary, after the affected area will be more and more itchy. This is because bathing with soap and hot water for too long, the sebum that protects the surface of the body will disappear, causing the skin to dry out, and the peripheral nerves to become sensitive and excited, and the phenomenon of itchiness will occur. Therefore, the hotter you wash, the more dry and cracked the skin will be, and the eczema situation is worse. Some acute inflammatory skin diseases, such as acute eczema skin damage itself has epidermal capillary dilation, congestion edema and other pathological changes, if repeatedly scalded with hot water, more likely to aggravate the skin damage; local capillary dilation and congestion edema, may cause lesions vesicles, water, secondary infection, and even hot water scalding can cause more serious erysipelas. Myth 4: Eczema patients can not eat eggs? Eggs are a source of sensitivity for many diseases and can also trigger the condition for eczema? Many people will ask if eczema patients can eat chicken or eggs. A small percentage of people have allergic reactions to eggs, but it is not ‘specific’ and not every patient, including those with eczema, will develop an allergy if they eat eggs. Treatment plan for eczema It is advisable to use hormone-free creams to apply the treatment for acne, eczema and dermatitis The key to treating acne, eczema and dermatitis is to block the pathogenic body, repair damaged tissues, activate the renewal of skin cell tissues, and deeply improve the resistance of the skin in the diseased area, rebuild the ecological environment of skin tissues, restore the normal metabolism of the skin, and avoid recurring attacks. In this process, it is best to improve the immune system and change the allergic constitution in order to eradicate the disease and to avoid the toxic side effects caused by prolonged oral administration of western hormones and topical creams. For most skin disorders, the general doctors often choose hormonal topical drugs and other western drugs to treat, but its addiction, dependence and toxic side effects are very harmful. Pay attention to good care, pay attention to a light diet, avoid spicy and stimulating food, avoid eating allergenic items, such as seafood and shellfish food should be prohibited; try to reduce external stimuli, such as hand scratching, external soap, hot water scalding, etc.; clothing should be loose, light and soft, do not wear too many clothes, keep the skin dry, avoid wearing woolen products or nylon fabrics. Stay away from allergens, try to find the cause of the disease and remove it.
