Before talking about the treatment of neurodermatitis, there are many ways to control the “inflammation” and “itching”.
However, easy to relapse is the worry of patients!
The same is true of
other chronic dermatitis.
“Three points of treatment, seven points of nursing”, for patients with neurodermatitis, it is particularly important to do a good job of daily care and prevention.
Reducing relapse requires comprehensive management, including lifestyle modification, adherence to medical supervision, and avoidance of triggers.
Five tips to help you stay away from neurodermatitis!
I. Decompression:
Learn effective stress management techniques such as deep breathing, yoga, meditation, etc., as stress is a common factor in the onset of neurodermatitis.
Tension and anxiety can aggravate the vicious circle of “itching-scratch-itching”. Psychological counseling should be given to those with mental anxiety to encourage them to live regularly, reduce staying up late, cultivate hobbies and reduce mental stress.
Routine treatment combined with psychological intervention can significantly reduce the recurrence of pruritic skin diseases.
2. Strengthen moisturizing:
In many chronic dermatitis, skin barrier function is impaired, transdermal water loss (TEWL) increases, and epidermal water content decreases sharply, which affects physiological function and makes inflammation difficult to heal.
The
use of non-irritating moisturizing cream or lotion, especially immediately after bathing, is conducive to locking skin moisture and alleviating dryness, becoming a good helper for external use, reducing irritation and recurrence.
Of course, if it is an acute stage, do not use the parts with erosion and exudation, and follow the dermatological principle of “dry to dry, wet to wet” for external use.
3. Mild cleaning:
Choose gentle cleansing products to create a beautiful environment for the skin and reduce the adverse effects of dust, microorganisms and other irritants on the skin. Sweat is also a common cause of itching.
Avoid excessive showering. While it’s important to keep clean, too much is too little.
It is recommended to use warm water close to body temperature instead of hot water, which is cool when hot, but actually adds firewood to inflammation. No special circumstances, a few minutes can be, do not need too many fancy tools, you desperately rub off is not necessarily “dirty mud”, but the precious sebum membrane, many big companies star skin care products are expensive, the formula is as close as possible to the skin ingredients (bionic), the result is easily discarded by you.
4. Avoid known triggers:
Not just certain foods, such as trying to avoid alcohol.
Attention
should also be paid to the effects of environmental factors (changes in heat and cold, humidity), specific materials (such as wool), and various contacts.
Dress appropriately: Wear soft, breathable clothing and try to avoid rough or synthetic materials that come into direct contact with the skin.
Control the indoor environment: Use a humidifier or dehumidifier to maintain a suitable indoor humidity level to help reduce symptoms.
Patients
with gastrointestinal dysfunction should be corrected, and patients with infectious lesions should be treated actively.
5. Compliance with medical supervision.
Many people roar when they come. It seems that they are seriously ill, irritable and have sleep disorders. They can’t go on. After treatment, they just get better and don’t take it seriously. They can’t control their hands and mouths. Medication depends on their mood. This recurrence is bound to be a big probability event.
Medication: According to the doctor’s guidance, rational use of internal and external medication to control inflammation and relieve symptoms. Skin lesions and improvement of pruritus should be observed and evaluated. After the control of skin lesions, do not rush to stop the drug, can gradually reduce the intensity of use, take the next step program.

Regular follow-up visits: Keep in touch with the doctor and visit regularly to assess the condition and adjust the treatment plan. For patients with complete relief of pruritus, outpatient follow-up is recommended every 1 to 2 months. Adverse drug reactions should be monitored regularly in patients with systemic use of sedative and psychotropic drugs. In the course of treatment, if the patient’s condition changes or does not adapt, he should go to the outpatient clinic at any time.
Everyone
‘s situation is different, and there is no one medicine for everyone.
The most important thing is to work closely with doctors to develop their own prevention and treatment plans, many chronic diseases not only rely on drugs, but also need daily health management.
