Allergic dermatitis is an inflammatory skin disease related to allergies. Therefore, patients with allergic dermatitis definitely need to pay attention to their diet: First, it is recommended to eat more foods rich in vitamins and protein, such as apples, pears, and lean meat. Moreover, it is advised not to drink alcohol or alcoholic beverages, as alcohol can stimulate the worsening of allergic symptoms and increase dermatitis reactions. Lastly, eating more fresh vegetables and fruits is beneficial.

Symptoms of dermatitis eczema

Dermatitis and eczema are diseases of the same nature, both classified as hypersensitivity disorders. Their clinical symptoms manifest as pruritic papules and plaques all over the body, accompanied by scaling and varying degrees of itching. The triggering factors are multifaceted, including genetics, environment, metabolism, and more, necessitating the strengthening of skin barrier repair. Daily care is based on moisturizing, recommending the use of medical skincare products such as soft moisturizing creams, and providing symptomatic treatments such as anti-inflammatory and antihistamine to regulate immunity. Medications including oral ebastine tablets, total glucosides of paeony capsules, and tripterygium glycosides tablets, as well as topical tacrolimus ointment, are suggested. (The use of medications should be under the guidance of a physician.)

What is eczematous dermatitis?

Eczematous dermatitis is a manifestation of dermatitis, with the main clinical manifestations being millet-sized papules, vesicopustules, or vesicles on the skin, accompanied by erythema that can merge into patchy areas. Frequent scratching can lead to exudation, erosion, secondary infection, and in severe cases, the formation of pustules and crusts. Eczematous dermatitis is a type of allergic skin disease. It is usually necessary to identify the specific allergens involved. One can visit a hospital to check for allergens and then undergo treatment with antihistamines as directed by a doctor. If there is significant exudation, topical treatment can include wet dressings with lactic acid, ichthammol solution, or boric acid solution. Treatment can also be supplemented with traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine combined, based on differential diagnosis.

How to treat diaper rash dermatitis?

Diaper dermatitis is primarily a type of contact dermatitis that occurs because the diapers soaked with urine and feces are not changed in time. Decomposition materials in urine and feces irritate the skin, causing inflammation. The main treatment involves keeping the buttocks dry and changing diapers frequently. It is necessary to wash the buttocks, genital area, and surrounding skin with clean water daily, and to rinse the anus and surrounding skin with water after bowel movements. Diapers should be thoroughly rinsed with clean water and not wrapped with plastic on the outside. If using disposable diapers, choose ones that are soft, not rough, and breathable. If there is a bacterial or fungal infection, topical antibiotics or antifungal medications should be used. For mild cases with only redness, consider keeping the buttocks dry. In cases where there is significant erosion, some medications may be used for intervention. If there is skin redness, topical calamine lotion can be applied. If the diaper dermatitis is severe and the baby is fussy and uncomfortable, it is advised to visit a hospital for a doctor to provide treatment based on the specific condition of the baby.

How to cure allergic dermatitis completely?

To fundamentally treat allergic dermatitis, it is essential to first clarify the cause and identify which allergen triggers it to avoid contact. In terms of treatment, it often involves a combination of oral and topical medications. Oral medications typically include antihistamines, such as loratadine dispersible tablets, cetirizine tablets, or fexofenadine hydrochloride tablets. These can be supplemented with compound glycyrrhizin tablets or vitamin C tablets, calcium gluconate, or treatment based on Traditional Chinese Medicine differential diagnosis. For topical use, corticosteroid ointments or calcineurin inhibitors can be chosen to help. Regular skin care is crucial, using moisturizing lotions to maintain the barrier function of the skin, making it less susceptible to irritation and reducing the chance of recurrent allergic dermatitis. (Medication should be used under the guidance of a physician.)

How to treat eczema dermatitis in pregnant women?

Pregnant women's eczema is a relatively common disease during pregnancy. Eczema is a rash-like change in the skin that occurs after pregnancy. First, we must exclude a pregnancy-specific disease called cholestasis of pregnancy. Cholestasis of pregnancy primarily manifests as skin itching, starting initially in the palms and soles of the feet and can spread to various parts of the body, with abdominal itching being the most severe. It differs from eczema mainly in that eczema usually involves changes in the skin, but the itching from cholestasis of pregnancy does not show obvious changes on the skin surface. If cholestasis of pregnancy is excluded, we can manage the condition based on the dermatologist's advice. For mild cases, some topical medications, such as calamine lotion, can be used without significant effects on the baby. If the eczema is severe or even affects sleep, sedative medications may be used before bedtime, or some oral antihistamines can help treat the condition. (Please follow the doctor's prescription when taking any medication.)
