Having eczema can be handled through basic treatment and medication as prescribed by your doctor.
The purpose of basic treatment is to eliminate the factors that induce and/or aggravate eczema in life. This includes avoiding spicy food and alcohol during the onset of eczema, avoiding scalding and washing to stimulate the skin lesions; avoiding contact with various suspected disease-causing factors, such as detergents and laundry detergents; using emollients after bathing to protect the skin barrier; and choosing clothes made of natural materials, such as cotton, and other methods.
Topical medication is preferred to topical glucocorticosteroids, which vary according to the period of eczema development, the site of occurrence and the age of the patient. Mild eczema, pediatric patients, facial lesions, etc. generally use weak or moderate glucocorticosteroids, such as hydrocortisone, etc.; severe eczema is appropriate to use strong glucocorticosteroids, such as dexamethasone.
If the symptom area is large, oral antihistamines such as cetirizine and loratadine can be prescribed.
Suffering from eczema, it is recommended to go to the dermatology department of the hospital in a timely manner, follow the doctor’s instructions to standardize the treatment, do not take medication without authorization.
