How to treat male eczema?

Eczema is a common skin inflammation, and patients usually experience symptoms of itching all over the body. There are many factors that cause eczema, and it is easy to recur, which troubles many people. In fact, the cleanliness of the skin is an important factor affecting the probability of skin diseases. In addition to keeping yourself clean, there are other ways to treat it. Today, I will talk to you about the treatment of male eczema.

The treatment of eczema aims at anti-inflammatory and anti-itching. Commonly used drugs include antihistamines and sedatives. In the acute stage, calcium, vitamin C, sodium thiosulfate intravenous injection, or procaine for intravenous occlusion can be used. For patients with acute generalized eczema who have not responded to multiple treatments, short-term use of corticosteroids can be considered. Once the acute symptoms are controlled, the dosage should be reduced and withdrawn as appropriate to prevent adverse reactions caused by long-term use of hormones. In case of infection, the addition of corresponding antibiotics should be considered.

Choose the appropriate dosage form for the symptoms. For external use, the drugs should be cleansing, antipruritic, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, astringent and keratinizing agents according to the needs and characteristics of the rash. When there is no exudation, calamine lotion can be used. When there is a lot of exudation, 3% boric acid solution can be used as a cold wet compress. When the exudation decreases, creams containing corticosteroids and wet compresses can be used alternately.

There are many methods of treating eczema with traditional Chinese medicine, and the treatment varies according to the manifestations of different stages. For acute eczema, if the dampness and heat are severe, and the redness, swelling and exudation occur, it is advisable to clear away heat and purge fire, cool blood and promote dampness, and the prescription is Longdan Xiegan Decoction with modifications. For subacute eczema, it is advisable to strengthen the spleen and promote dampness, and the prescription is Chushi Weiling Decoction with modifications. For chronic eczema, it is advisable to nourish blood and dispel wind, activate blood circulation and moisten dryness, and the prescription is Siwu Xiaofeng Decoction with modifications. The acupoints commonly used in acupuncture therapy include Quchi, Zusanli, Weizhong, and Xuehai; ear acupoints include lung point, Shenmen, subcortical and endocrine points, etc.

Of course, everyone has a different constitution, so when choosing a treatment method, you must choose it according to your own situation. Especially when choosing Chinese medicine treatment, because each Chinese medicine has its own medicinal properties, although they all have the effect of treating eczema, they may not be suitable for everyone. Therefore, when seeing a doctor, you must explain your own situation to the doctor.
