How to treat eczema for many years

Eczema is a common skin disease. For some people, eczema is prone to recurring, which has a great impact on the patient's physical health and psychological health. For patients with eczema for many years, if they want to get a complete cure, they must pay attention to good treatment. In addition, they must pay more attention to self-care, pay attention to a good attitude, be steady and accurate in the use of medication, and prevent side effects of drugs.

1. Antihistamines for the treatment of eczema:

Antihistamines can effectively relieve the itching experienced by patients when treating eczema, so they are currently a very commonly used drug in clinical practice. Among them, H receptor antagonists are the main representative. Commonly used drugs for the treatment of eczema include H1 receptor antagonists, such as diphenhydramine, cyproheptadine, chlorpheniramine, etc., acrivastine, cetirizine, mizolastine, etc. H2 receptor antagonists, such as cimetidine, ranitidine, famotidine, etc. In addition, although doxepin is a tricyclic antidepressant, it also has an antihistamine effect, so it can also have a certain therapeutic effect in the treatment of eczema.

2. Glucocorticoids for the treatment of eczema:

Which method will be more effective in treating eczema? Glucocorticoids are currently the second-line drugs for the treatment of eczema in clinical practice. Because they contain hormonal components, excessive use will not only fail to achieve the desired effect in treating eczema, but will actually induce further deterioration of the disease. Therefore, when the disease continues to recur, short-term treatment with small doses will achieve very good results. Among them, the therapeutic effect achieved by ointments is particularly ideal, mainly including prednisone ointment, dexamethasone ointment, etc., which can effectively treat eczema.

3. External medications for eczema:

Local flushing with normal saline, 3% boric acid, and 1:2000-1:10000 potassium permanganate solution can effectively relieve itching when treating eczema. In addition, calamine lotion has astringent and protective effects. Therefore, when applied locally in the treatment of eczema, it can not only relieve itching, but also improve the exudation situation. It is also a commonly used topical medicine in the treatment of eczema. The above article is all about "What method is better for treating eczema". I hope it can bring some help to everyone. Patients must develop good eating and living habits, exercise more, and improve their own immunity. At the end of the article, I wish everyone can get rid of the trouble of the disease as soon as possible.
