The weather is cold and dry. How do old people and children prevent eczema?

The coldest time in winter has come. Cold is accompanied by dryness, and some diseases begin to come to you. Skin will become dry after contact with cold air, which will induce eczema, allergic dermatitis and other uncomfortable symptoms in winter.

The reporter learned that only on February 26th, 65438, nearly 40 eczema patients were admitted to the dermatology clinic of Jiangsu Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine, most of whom were elderly and children.

Grandpa eczema is often repeated. It was originally caused by winter swimming.

Grandpa Tang is 70 years old this year, and he is usually in good health. Every winter in recent years, symptoms such as erythema and papules will appear on both lower limbs. He will feel itchy and his skin will be particularly dry. The symptoms of elevated body temperature will subside by themselves in the coming year.

After the winter of this year, Uncle Tang was once again troubled by the above symptoms and had to come to the dermatology department of Jiangsu Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine. Zhou Lin, an attending dermatologist, found that Grandpa Tang had flaky erythema and papules on his calf, and his skin was dry and peeling. Only after asking did I know that Grandpa Tang likes swimming in winter, because long-term soaking in water causes skin oil loss, which leads to dry skin and further induces eczema sicca.

Old people should not bathe too often, and babies should not wear too much.

Eczema sicca, also known as seborrheic eczema, is caused by more water loss on the body surface and less secretion of sebaceous glands and sweat glands, which mostly occurs in the elderly. Zhou Lin suggested that the elderly should not bathe too often in winter, at most twice a week, and use soap, shower gel and other cleaning products as little as possible, and then wash them with clear water.

When the weather gets cold, many parents put too much clothes on their babies, which can also cause eczema. 90% of baby eczema is caused by allergies, but the allergic factors are complicated, so it is difficult to determine the cause of allergies. High temperature and friction can irritate the skin and aggravate eczema, so don't wear too thick clothes for your baby. It is best to wear breathable cotton clothes. Don't judge whether a baby is hot or cold by touching his hand. According to the temperature of the child's back, keep warm and don't sweat.

The treatment of eczema includes oral administration, external washing and regular protection.

Eczema is called wet sore, soaking sore and so on in traditional Chinese medicine. The pathogenic factor of this disease is internal damp-heat, and exogenous pathogenic wind is bound to the skin, which leads to poor blood circulation, disharmony between camp and health, and common rheumatic fever syndrome. Traditional Chinese medicine often treats eczema patients by oral administration and fumigation. In diet, patients with eczema should avoid spicy, irritating and greasy food, eat less allergic seafood and fruits, and usually eat more green leafy vegetables. In addition, strengthening skin moisturizing is the key, and non-sensitive formulas such as vitamin E cream and vaseline can be applied. And do some exercises to improve the body's immunity, thus improving eczema.
