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.)
What should I do about alopecia areata?
Alopecia areata, commonly known as "ghost shaving," has an unknown cause and its onset mechanism is related to the immune system. Factors such as fatigue, anxiety, nervousness, and lack of sleep can all trigger this condition, and it requires supportive symptomatic treatment such as immune modulation. Oral administration of L-cysteine tablets, vitamin B6 tablets, and compound glycyrrhizin tablets, along with topical application of 5% minoxidil spray in the affected area, as well as chondroitin sulfate polysulfate cream or pimecrolimus cream, combined with physical therapy measures like helium-neon laser irradiation, are recommended. It is also important to rest, consume dark-colored foods including black sesame, black fungus, and black rice, and maintain a good emotional state. (Note: The use of medications should be under the guidance of a physician.)
What should I do if a patch of alopecia areata doesn't grow back?
Alopecia areata, commonly known as "ghost shaving," is a type of immune-related skin disease. It is important to rest, provide immune modulation and other symptomatic treatments, eat more black-colored foods, and maintain a good mood. Take oral thymopeptide enteric capsules, cysteine tablets, vitamin B6 tablets, folic acid tablets, and other medications. For the bald areas, apply a 5% concentration of minoxidil spray and heparin polysulfate mucopolysaccharide cream. The purpose is to improve scalp microcirculation to stimulate hair follicles and promote hair regeneration. Simultaneously, supplementary physical therapy measures can be used, including traditional Chinese medicine techniques such as plum-blossom needle tapping and local treatment with 308 nm excimer laser radiation, three times a week, for a total of ten sessions per treatment course.
What is causing the itchy alopecia areata?
Alopecia areata, commonly known as "ghost shaving," often manifests itching symptoms which usually indicate a local inflammatory response. It requires comprehensive treatment including regulation and immunity, attention to rest, ensuring adequate sleep, and maintaining a good mood. It's advisable to consume more black foods and take oral medications like compound glycyrrhizin tablets and folic acid tablets. For the affected alopecia areata areas, topical applications of minoxidil spray, dermatan sulfate chondroitin sulfate cream, or pimecrolimus cream can be used. Additional physical measures include treatment with fractional laser and helium-neon laser radiation. If necessary, local injections of compound betamethasone injection solution or triamcinolone acetonide can be administered to achieve anti-inflammatory effects.
Can soaking feet in white vinegar cure athlete's foot?
Using white vinegar for foot soaking is not a treatment for athlete's foot, which is an infection caused by dermatophyte fungus, commonly known as tinea pedis. Standard and effective antifungal treatments are required. It is necessary to enhance foot hygiene, frequently change socks and shoes, keep the feet dry and ventilated, and use antifungal medications such as oral terbinafine hydrochloride tablets. Apply antifungal creams like luliconazole cream and miconazole cream to the affected areas. Adequate dosage and course of treatment are needed to prevent the recurrence of symptoms, often requiring continuous application for more than three weeks. Athlete’s foot is prone to occur in summer as fungi thrive in warm, moist environments. Therefore, cleanliness is considered a fundamental caregiving measure. (Medication should be used under the guidance of a physician.)
Can allergic purpura be cured completely?
Allergic purpura is a type of vasculitis that recurs symptomatically, but most cases can be cured with systematic and standardized medication. This disease has complex classifications including skin type, gastrointestinal type, joint type, and renal type. The simple types generally have milder symptoms and are easier to cure; however, complex damages often exhibit a clinical characteristic of being difficult to cure. It is important to rest, control physical activity, and follow a cautious and reasonable diet, avoiding cold foods and seafood. Treatment involves anti-inflammatory measures, improving the permeability of peripheral blood vessels, and supporting immune regulation.
Can people with flat warts eat eggs?
Flat warts are caused by a viral infection, and it is safe to eat eggs, which are not contraindicated. Treatment should include antiviral medications and immune regulation to support symptomatic relief. Flat warts commonly occur in children and young women and are mostly found on the face and extremities. It is important to use sunscreen, maintain skin cleanliness, avoid scratching to prevent the spread of the virus, and disinfect clothes and surrounding objects. Oral medications such as pidotimod granules, thymosin enteric capsules, and spleen peptide lyophilized powder can be used, along with topical treatments like interferon gel and miquimod cream at the site of the lesions. Photodynamic therapy for the skin, which involves applying a photosensitizer weekly and using appropriate light sources for irradiation, is an additional treatment option, typically administered in three sessions per course. Pre-treatment methods such as scraping off the wart may be performed before photodynamic therapy. (The use of medications should be under the guidance of a physician.)
Can athlete's foot blisters be popped?
The term "athlete's foot" refers to the common name for tinea pedis, a skin infection caused by dermatophytes. It can manifest as various types of skin lesions, such as blisters. In cases like blistering athlete's foot, it is important to enhance local cleanliness of the blistered area while avoiding harmful actions such as forcibly picking or squeezing, to prevent secondary bacterial infection of the wound. Symptomatic treatment with antifungal agents is necessary, including oral itraconazole capsules and other antifungal medications. For topical treatment, applying a wet compress of boric acid solution followed by triamcinolone acetonide econazole cream, or a compound Cannale cream can be used, but these should be applied for a short term only. If symptoms improve after three to five days, the treatment should be switched to antifungal creams such as ketoconazole cream or terbinafine cream, with a treatment period of at least two weeks.
What should I do if my athlete's foot is very itchy?
Athlete's foot, also known as tinea pedis, can manifest as intense itching of the skin. First, it is necessary to enhance the cleanliness of the foot skin, avoid various irritating causes, and provide standard and effective antifungal symptomatic treatment. Oral antifungal medications such as itraconazole or terbinafine can be used, and various antifungal ointments can be applied to the affected area, such as the commonly used naftifine-ketoconazole cream, terbinafine cream, luliconazole cream, and miconazole cream. The treatment should last more than two weeks to avoid the recurrence of symptoms. Everyday, it is necessary to frequently change shoes and socks, maintain dryness, ventilation, and good breathability, and avoid dampness. (Medication should be used under the guidance of a doctor.)
Causes of itching on the lower legs in summer
The causes of itchy skin on the lower legs during summer are usually related to various factors such as sun exposure and sweating. Diagnosed as summer dermatitis, it is necessary to apply sunscreen and provide symptomatic treatment with anti-allergy, anti-inflammatory, and anti-itch measures. Avoid irritating factors such as scalding washes and scratching, as well as excessive use of soaps. Furthermore, after bathing, it is timely to use medical skincare products, such as soft moisturizing cream or anti-itch moisturizing lotion, to maintain hydrated skin. Oral administration of drugs like levocetirizine tablets, moisturizing and anti-itch capsules, and vitamins is recommended. Topical applications in the itchy areas of the skin can include moisture-removing anti-itch cream or compound heparin sodium cream. Avoid the use of hormone-based medications as much as possible to prevent side effects such as hairiness and skin atrophy.
