What is dry eczema

Dry eczema, also known as sebum-poor eczema, is characterized by peeling, dryness, and inconspicuous exudates. Lipid-poor eczema tends to occur in the limbs, sides and trunk of infants and young children. For the lower extremities of the elderly, dry eczema is also more likely to occur, mainly due to dry skin, dehydration of the stratum corneum and inflammation of the dermis. Clinically this inflammation is relatively mild, mainly flaky light red patches with some scaling on the surface, and usually the condition is free of itching or presents with mild itching. For the treatment of lack of lipid eczema, you need to take oral antihistamines, such as loratadine and cetirizine, as well as topical hormone creams, such as mometasone furoate cream, under the guidance and advice of a doctor. Normally, it is important to take good care of the skin and use topical medical moisturizers. In terms of diet, it is important to avoid spicy and irritating foods, avoid alcohol and salt water to stimulate the skin, do not use hot water to wash and burn, so as to avoid the disease recurrence and deterioration. Patients in the use of drugs need to be under the guidance of the doctor, to avoid blind use of drugs to cause adverse consequences.
