What medicine is used for neurodermatitis of the eyelid?

Neurodermatitis, also known as chronic simple lichen, is a common chronic inflammatory skin disease characterized by paroxysmal severe itching and lichenoid changes in the skin, which are symptoms of a dysfunctional neurogenic disorder. The causes of the disease may be related to various internal and external factors such as neuropsychiatric factors, gastrointestinal dysfunction, endocrine disorders, local foreign body irritation, diet, etc. For neurodermatitis occurring on the eyelids, our first advice to patients is to avoid scratching and rubbing as much as possible, as these actions are major triggers or aggravating factors; secondly, use mild, minimally irritating topical medications such as moisturizing and anti-itch drugs, tar-based medications, and herbal ointments. It’s recommended to use corticosteroid creams sparingly or not at all. When applying medication, use them thinly and sparingly to minimize absorption due to the thin and highly vascular nature of the eyelid skin. In severe cases, oral antihistamines and calcium supplements can be used in combination.

Can laser treat neurodermatitis effectively?

Neurodermatitis is a type of allergic disease, mostly developed from dermatitis, eczema, or common allergic reactions. It is generally treated with oral and topical medications, which can control or cure the condition. There is generally no need for laser treatment. Although the skin of neurodermatitis may thicken and proliferate, and the treatment results may be slow, laser treatment can cause extensive damage to the epidermis, making it more difficult to heal later. It is essential to receive proper treatment in the dermatology department of a regular hospital for neurodermatitis. Instead of using laser, treatment can include oral and topical medications, along with options like red or blue light therapy or liquid nitrogen freezing. After recovery, it's important to regulate your diet and lifestyle habits, avoid staying up late, exercise appropriately, and not wash with hot water.
