What is seborrheic dermatitis?
Seborrheic dermatitis is a diagnosis commonly affecting areas with excess sebum secretion such as the scalp, face, chest, and back. It frequently occurs in young adults and is associated with inflammatory reactions. It requires enhanced cleaning of the scalp and trunk skin, avoiding various irritants, and providing anti-inflammatory treatments and regulation of lipid metabolism. Dietary restrictions typically include avoiding spicy, stimulating, and high-calorie foods, while increasing the intake of green vegetables and coarse fibers. Oral medications such as compound glycyrrhizin tablets, vitamin B6 tablets, niacin tablets, and doxycycline hydrochloride capsules are recommended. For skin lesions, topical application of tacrolimus ointment or pimecrolimus cream, and dibenzoyl hydroxy acid cream are advised, with an emphasis on avoiding the use of steroid medications to prevent difficult-to-control symptoms. (Please follow medical advice when using medication.)
Can urticaria papulosa be washed with hot water during bathing?
The so-called papular urticaria is an allergic reaction associated with insect bites. It is advised not to wash the affected area with hot water; instead, bathing with lukewarm water is acceptable. Key preventive measures include managing the environment to avoid further insect bites and administering anti-allergy and anti-itch treatments. Oral medications such as loratadine syrup, prednisone acetate tablets, and vitamin C tablets are recommended. At the site of the skin lesions, topical medications such as fluticasone propionate, triamcinolone acetonide econazole cream, desonide cream, or antipruritic moisturizing cream can be used. If secondary symptoms such as ulceration and blister formation occur, it is necessary to enhance the cleanliness of the rash to prevent secondary bacterial infections by applying saline solution, Kangfuxin solution, or Phellodendron solution on the eroded areas. (Medication should be used under the guidance of a physician.)
What should I do about vitiligo?
Vitiligo belongs to a category of pigmentary disorders, which can affect social interactions and psychological well-being to some extent, but does not affect health and growth. Therefore, it is necessary to approach this condition with scientific rationality. First, it is important to prevent skin trauma, rest adequately, stabilize the body's immune status, and manage sun protection. Symptomatic treatment includes oral administration of drugs such as compound glycyrrhizin tablets and folic acid tablets. Tacrolimus ointment should be applied externally to the lesions. Treatment can also be supplemented with traditional Chinese medicine, including Bai Ling tablets and Qu Bai Ba Bu Qi tablets, although liver and kidney functions must be monitored. Additionally, therapy may include 308 nm excimer laser irradiation, two to three times a week, for a total of 10 to 14 sessions per treatment course.
What should I do if I have acne on my chest?
Because the chest is an area prone to seborrheic overflow, it can develop inflammatory lesions such as acne, and it is necessary to strengthen skin cleaning and provide anti-inflammatory symptomatic treatment. Oral medications such as clarithromycin sustained-release tablets and vitamin A acid ester capsules are recommended, while topical application of cloriodoquine cream or adapalene gel at the affected area can be supplemented with local treatments like red and blue light therapy and glycolic acid skin peeling. In daily life, it is important to bathe frequently, change undergarments regularly, and use selenium sulfide cleansers for skin cleaning. One should consume more green vegetables and dietary fiber, and avoid excessive spicy and high-calorie foods, including fried foods and sweets. For lesions on the chest, avoid squeezing to prevent scarring.
Can athlete's foot spread to other parts of the body?
Athlete's foot, commonly known as tinea pedis, is an infection by dermatophytes and is contagious. For example, it can be contracted through the shared use of public items such as slippers and towels. It is important to enhance personal skin hygiene. Do not share personal items, and promptly and effectively disinfect contaminated items using methods such as disinfectants and exposure to sunlight. For the treatment of athlete's foot, the key is to provide adequate and appropriate antifungal symptomatic treatment. If necessary, oral antifungal medications such as itraconazole dispersible tablets or terbinafine hydrochloride tablets may be used. For topical treatment, creams like luliconazole or terbinafine cream can be applied to the affected areas.
What should I do about pseudoverruca wet?
Pseudovestibular papillomatosis, also known as vestibular papillae, is commonly found in adult women and appears with changes resembling fish roe; the texture is relatively soft. Generally, there are no subjective symptoms. Clinically, it is necessary to differentiate it from genital warts, and, if necessary, an acetic acid white test can be conducted to further clarify the diagnosis. This condition is not an infectious disease but is considered a congenital variation that may be related to local inflammatory stimulation, and generally does not require special treatment. It is recommended to test the vaginal discharge routine to determine if there is concomitant gynecological inflammation. If there is a condition such as candidal vaginitis, corresponding treatment should be undertaken. In necessary cases, topical application of Kangfuxin solution can be used.
What should I do about folliculitis?
Folliculitis refers to an inflammatory change in the skin appendages, which is quite common and can occur on the scalp as well as in areas of abundant sebum secretion such as the face, chest, and back. It is more prevalent in males, with symptoms generally more severe than in females. A low-fat diet is advised, avoiding spicy foods, and consuming more green vegetables and coarse fibers to regulate lipid metabolism, in addition to anti-inflammatory and other symptomatic treatments. Oral medications such as ebastine tablets, compound glycyrrhizin tablets, and vitamin B6 tablets can be used in combination with systemic antibiotics like clarithromycin extended-release tablets and doxycycline hydrochloride capsules. Traditional Chinese medicines like tanshinone can also be utilized, along with topical applications such as clindamycin phosphate gel and fusidic acid cream. (Please follow medical advice when using medications.)
What should I do if my flat wart breaks?
Flat warts are a type of viral infection. If broken, the contagiousness increases. The key is to enhance skin cleanliness and provide symptomatic treatment such as immune regulation and antiviral therapy. Oral medications like thymopeptide enteric capsules can be taken. For damaged areas, topical application of compound Phellodendron liquid or Kangfuxin liquid can be used for astringent cleaning. After the surface liquid has dried, interferon gel or butenafine cream can be applied. The treatment of flat warts varies from person to person and can occur in different parts of the body, generally in exposed areas such as the face, hands, and back, and is more common in females, but can also affect children. Dietary supplements such as porridge made from coix seeds can be included.
Can hair that has fallen out grow back?
Hair loss can still grow back, but it's important to identify the cause of hair loss and determine the type of clinical hair loss. Common types include seborrheic hair loss, androgenic hair loss, telogen effluvium, and alopecia areata. It's important to rest, ensure sleep quality, eat green and black foods, avoid oily and high-calorie foods, and keep the scalp clean. Consider taking oral supplements like cysteine tablets, folic acid tablets, blood-nourishing hair growth capsules, or lipid-removing hair growth tablets. For topical treatment in the area of hair loss, you can apply Seven Ingredients Turmeric Acne Lotion, Compound Indomethacin Tincture, or a 2% or 5% minoxidil spray.
How long does it generally take for a small patch of alopecia areata to recover?
Alopecia areata, commonly known as "ghost shearing", is often related to immune factors in its causes and mechanism of onset. It is important to rest and provide symptomatic treatment with immune modulation. Generally, recovery can be expected within about a month. Oral medications such as cysteine tablets, folic acid tablets, vitamin B6 tablets, and pimecrolimus granules can be taken. In the area affected by alopecia areata, topical application of dermatan sulfate polysaccharide cream, tacrolimus ointment, combined with the use of minoxidil solution is recommended to promote local circulation and thereby facilitate hair regrowth. Additionally, other physical therapy measures can be supportive, including traditional Chinese medicine treatments such as plum-blossom needle tapping and local intense pulsed light therapy. (Medication should be used under the guidance of a doctor.)
