What are the main areas to prevent eczema and dry skin?

Eczema is a very common skin disease in life. At present, the exact cause of eczema is still unknown in medicine, but prevention can still avoid the occurrence of this disease. So how to prevent dry skin caused by eczema?

Skin moisturizing

In autumn and winter, you should not take too many baths, the bath time should not be too long, the water temperature should not be too high (35-37℃ is appropriate), and use weak acid cleaning products. Apply skin care cream within five minutes after bathing. Skin care products in autumn and winter should contain oils, such as creams and ointments.

Keep warm

People who are prone to frostbite should strengthen the warmth of the extremities and exposed parts, and keep them dry. Washing with winter melon water before winter has a better preventive effect, but it is not advisable to heat or bake with fire immediately after freezing. Children and patients with allergic and itchy skin diseases should choose loose winter clothes made of cotton, and avoid woolen products.

Strengthen exercise

It can promote blood circulation and prevent dehydration caused by wind. Patients with frostbite should strengthen hand and foot exercises to enhance their adaptability to cold environments. Frequent massage of the facial skin can promote blood circulation, increase sebum secretion, and improve complexion.

Keep sunscreen

It is generally believed that sun protection is only a task for the summer, but this is not the case. Ultraviolet rays are the main cause of skin aging (accounting for about 90%). Prevent long-term sun exposure and insist on using sunscreen skin care products. The effect can be better verified after several years or even decades.

Maintain good living habits

Traditional Chinese medicine says that "what goes on inside will be reflected on the outside". The color and luster of the skin are the external manifestations of the body's qi and blood and the condition of the internal organs.

Night is the best time for the skin to rest, so you should get enough sleep and have a regular life.

Treating primary skin diseases

If the chapped hands are caused by the aggravation of hand eczema, in addition to paying attention to removing various inducements, such as reducing contact with acid and alkali substances and chemical products in daily life, active drug treatment is also required.

The above are just precautions for daily prevention and treatment. If you have any problems, it is best to go to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible. For example, itching is very common, but itching refers to the condition where there is no skin damage but only skin itching. The reasons are very complicated and need to be considered from many aspects. It is best to clarify with the doctor after consultation to avoid misunderstanding the condition.
