AIDS is divided into four stages.
AIDS clinical stages are divided into four phases: acute infection phase, asymptomatic infection phase, AIDS prodrome, and AIDS phase. The acute infection phase refers to the period after a person is infected with HIV, where symptoms similar to a common cold can appear after half a month, and the symptoms generally disappear after a month. Two months later, HIV antibodies can be detected through blood tests. After this, the person enters the asymptomatic infection phase, which on average can last for 7-8 years, and in some cases, up to about 10 years, followed by the AIDS prodrome, and the final phase is the AIDS phase.
How can chronic neurodermatitis be treated?
Neurodermatitis is a common chronic inflammatory skin disease characterized by paroxysmal severe itching and lichenoid changes in the skin. Its treatment generally involves several aspects: First, patients are advised to avoid scratching, rubbing, and other irritants, as well as receive psychological therapy to break the vicious cycle of itching and scratching; second, topical medications should be selected rationally based on the location, characteristics, and type of skin lesions, with commonly used topical medications including corticosteroid ointments, tar ointments, and moisturizing anti-itch ointments. For widespread lesions, treatment options like medicated baths, mineral baths, and ultraviolet light therapy may be considered; third, systemic medications, primarily oral antihistamines, calcium supplements, vitamin C, and others, may be used in conjunction with glutamine, vitamins B1, B12, and complex vitamin B supplements. If sleep is affected, sedative and sleep-inducing medications may be taken before bedtime.
Is seborrheic dermatitis itchy?
Seborrheic dermatitis, also known as seborrheic eczema, is a chronic papular scaly superficial inflammatory skin disease that occurs in areas with excessive sebum secretion. It is common in adults and newborns, often occurring in sebaceous gland-rich areas such as the head, face, and trunk. The causes of the disease may be related to increased sebaceous gland secretion or changes in the chemical composition of the sebum. It is also associated with colonization and infection by Malassezia yeast. Factors such as stress, diet, deficiency in B vitamins, and alcohol consumption can also affect the occurrence and development of this disease to varying degrees. The characteristic rash starts as follicular papules, which gradually enlarge and merge into dark red or yellow-red patches, covered with greasy scales or crusts. Exudation, crusting, and erosion may occur, presenting eczema-like symptoms, and can be accompanied by varying degrees of itching.
How to completely cure neurodermatitis?
The causes of neurodermatitis may be related to various factors such as neuropsychiatric factors, inappropriate diet, local irritation, gastrointestinal disturbances, and endocrine disorders. Furthermore, scratching and chronic friction may be the main triggers and aggravating factors. During the course of the disease, an itchy-scratch-itchy vicious cycle is prone to form. Therefore, in clinical practice, when treating neurodermatitis, in addition to applying topical medications and oral formulations, we emphasize the avoidance of scratching and other irritations. Providing patients with psychological therapy is essential to break the itchy-scratch-itchy vicious cycle, thus reducing the recurrence of neurodermatitis.
Treatment methods for neurodermatitis
The treatment of neurodermatitis includes three aspects. The first aspect is instructing patients to avoid various stimuli such as scratching and rubbing and providing certain psychological treatments to break the vicious cycle of itching and scratching. The second aspect involves the use of topical medications. Depending on the characteristics and location of the rash, appropriate use of steroid ointments and anti-itch moisturizing creams is advised, and occlusive treatment methods may be employed in severe cases. If the rash covers a large area or is widespread, options like ultraviolet light exposure, medicinal baths, or mineral baths can be considered. The third aspect is the treatment with systemic medications, which may include oral antihistamines, calcium supplements, vitamin C, and so on.
Can garlic treat neurodermatitis?
Neurodermatitis, also known as chronic simple lichen, is a common chronic inflammatory skin disease characterized by episodic severe itching and lichenoid skin changes due to neurofunctional disorders. Clinically, topical medications are chosen based on the characteristics, location, and type of skin lesions. Commonly used topical medications include corticosteroid ointments, tar-based moisturizing ointments, and anti-itch ointments. From the perspective of Chinese medicine, garlic can be used topically to kill insects and relieve itching, but it has strong irritants that can cause skin redness, blisters, and itching. Therefore, we do not recommend patients to use garlic to treat neurodermatitis.
Is seborrheic dermatitis easy to treat?
Seborrheic dermatitis is a chronic, pustular, scaly superficial inflammatory skin disease that occurs at sites of sebum overflow. It can be accompanied by varying degrees of itching. The exact cause of the disease is not completely clear, but it is generally believed to be related to an increase in sebum secretion or changes in its chemical composition. Additionally, colonization and infection with Malassezia are also somewhat related. Other factors such as mental state, diet, alcohol consumption, deficiency of B vitamins, infections, and fatigue can also influence the occurrence and development of the disease to varying degrees. Clinically, seborrheic dermatitis is a challenging condition, generally managed symptomatically. Although it can be clinically cured, it is a chronic condition that may still recur.
How to treat neurodermatitis
The treatment of neurodermatitis consists of three aspects. First, patients should be advised to avoid scratching, rubbing, and other irritations, and appropriate psychological treatment should be provided to interrupt the vicious cycle of itching and scratching. Second, the use of topical medications should be based on the location and characteristics of the rash. Hormonal ointments, anti-itch moisturizing ointments can be rationally selected, and occlusive treatments can be applied in severe cases. If the rash is widespread, treatments such as medicated baths and ultraviolet light exposure may be chosen. Thirdly, the treatment involves systemic medications, mainly including oral antihistamines, calcium supplements, vitamins, and so on.
What ointment to apply for neurodermatitis?
Neurodermatitis, also known as chronic simple lichen, is a common chronic inflammatory skin disease characterized by episodic severe itching and lichenoid skin changes. The characteristic skin lesions mainly consist of polygonal, flat papules that range in color from pale red, pale brown to normal skin tone. They are relatively hard and shiny with a small amount of scale on the surface. Over time, the lesions can merge into plaques, and the local skin becomes thickened and rough with lichen-like changes. Therefore, in clinical practice, various topical medications are rationally used based on the characteristics, types, and locations of these lesions. The common types of topical medications include glucocorticoid ointments, tar ointments, and moisturizing antipruritic ointments. Commonly used medications include hydrocortisone butyrate ointment, desonide ointment, mometasone furoate ointment, halometasone ointment, fluticasone propionate ointment, 10% black soybean distillate ointment, 5%-10% Konju butter or coal tar ointment, pine distillate ointment, urea vitamin E ointment, etc.
Will donating blood result in contracting AIDS?
Donating blood in Chinese hospitals and official blood donation centers does not result in HIV infection because there is HIV screening before donating. During blood donation, the syringes used are disposable. However, if blood is donated at unauthorized or illegal centers, the transmission of HIV cannot be guaranteed.
