The late spring cold has gone and the south wind has returned. What should we do with such bad weather?

After enduring the late spring cold in the north, we welcomed the return of the south wind in the south.

In early spring, the weather in many parts of the country is hot and cold, and it is inevitable that there will be some abnormalities in the body - itching, blisters, and even a scar...

The professional doctor diagnosed that this was "eczema".

Oh, who can understand this wet trouble? If you like to walk barefoot at home and drink cold drinks outside, then... even if you don't live in a cold and humid place, eczema will hardly let you go.

Eczema is a common epidermal inflammation, which is divided into three stages: acute, subacute and chronic according to the manifestation of skin lesions.

In the acute phase, the skin lesions initially appear as dense millet-sized papules, papulovesicles or small blisters with a flushed base, which gradually merge into flakes and will cause exudation and erosion when scratched.

In the subacute stage, the skin lesions are mainly small papules, scabs and scales, with only a small amount of papulovesicles and erosions. In the chronic stage, the skin of the affected area is thickened and infiltrated, brown-red or pigmented, and may form scabs due to scratching.

Regardless of the stage, severe itching will accompany the appearance of eczema.

The typical symptoms of eczema are itching and polymorphic skin lesions.

In the early stages of eczema, the affected area will appear as patches of red spots, dense or scattered small papules, or blisters that are invisible to the naked eye.

During the recovery period of eczema, the itching, erosion, redness and swelling of the affected area will be alleviated, the pustules and blisters will disappear, and scabs will appear.

Eczema is also divided into localized eczema and generalized eczema. Localized eczema only occurs in specific parts, such as hands, face, scalp, etc.; generalized eczema will spread or disseminate to multiple parts of the body.

Immune imbalance, allergic factors, temperature and humidity intolerance, and protein allergy can increase the incidence of eczema.

Allergic factors are the most direct cause of eczema, which may be caused by external allergens or by genetic allergic constitution.

3. The habit of using hot water for bathing and the lack of hygiene will make eczema worse.

Frequent recurrence or aggravation in winter and spring is called seasonal eczema. Clinically, seasonal eczema is not a disease, but its seasonal characteristics are more prominent.

4 In my country, the incidence of eczema in children is about 10% to 20%, and in adults it is about 1% to 3%.

Eczema is not a simple rash, it may also be the beginning of an allergic process. Some patients may inherit special adaptive diseases such as allergic rhinitis, allergic asthma, and allergic conjunctivitis.
Therefore, it is necessary to actively treat eczema and block the allergic process.

The best way to treat eczema is to use eczema ointment, Wuji ointment, or calamine lotion. If the itching is severe, you can take loratadine orally. Pay attention to local hygiene, avoid scratching with your hands, and try not to eat spicy, irritating, or greasy foods.
