The full name of HPV is Human Papillomavirus. HPV is the pathogen of genital warts, but HPV is not synonymous with genital warts. Some patients may be infected with the HPV virus and remain in a latent state without showing any symptoms; therefore, it cannot be said that HPV is the same as genital warts. Additionally, when HPV infects the skin, it may not cause genital warts but can appear as common warts, flat warts, or even seborrheic keratosis. Thus, HPV does not equal genital warts; it can also manifest as other types of skin warts.

What to eat for eczema

Patients with eczema can choose some foods that have the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, removing dampness and relieving itching, strengthening the spleen and aiding digestion, cooling the blood and calming the liver. However, dietary therapy only plays a supporting role in treatment and is not a professional method. Therefore, patients with eczema must actively seek treatment under the guidance of a doctor.

How to cure eczema?

To effectively treat chronic eczema, it is essential first to identify specific triggers and avoid contact to prevent recurrence. Under the guidance of a doctor, oral antihistamines can be administered, commonly options include chlorpheniramine maleate, cetirizine, loratadine, ebastine, and epinastine. In severe cases, infusion therapy might be an option, utilizing calcium gluconate injection or procaine vein blockage. For topical medications, one might choose corticosteroid creams such as desonide ointment or hydrocortisone butyrate cream, or opt for non-steroidal options like Mentholatum Dermacare Cream or Moisture-Removing Anti-Itch Cream. When eczema occurs, it can also be beneficial to combine traditional Chinese medicine and differential diagnosis with Western medicine for better results. Additionally, a light and bland diet is recommended.

Treatment of Vulvar Eczema

For the treatment of vulvar eczema, I believe the most important thing is to keep the vulva clean and dry. Regular cleaning of the vulva is necessary, and it should be kept as dry as possible. Additionally, try to avoid using sanitary pads as much as possible, because they can reduce breathability. Our clothing should also be as loose and breathable as possible, and avoid wearing synthetic underwear. Moreover, if there is itching and pain associated with vulvar eczema, topical corticosteroids can be applied to the vulva to relieve these symptoms and help heal the eczema. (The use of medications should be under the guidance of a doctor.)

What should I do if eczema is caused by excessive dampness?

For patients suffering from eczema caused by excessive dampness, initially, using a warm towel compress can help alleviate symptoms. It is also important to bathe frequently, maintain cleanliness, and keep dry to effectively prevent and improve the condition. Alternatively, spending more time in the sun, using a sauna, or soaking feet in warm water can also provide some relief. These methods can effectively prevent and treat the condition. Excessive dampness is often related to habitual overexertion and improper diet.
