What to do if eczema produces yellow fluid

Eczema is a skin disease with a relatively high incidence rate, which is mainly caused by excessive moisture in the body or high surrounding temperature. If eczema is severe and persists for a long time, yellow fluid may even be discharged. If this happens, you must not handle it on your own or apply ointment at will, but go to the hospital for treatment in time. In addition, in daily life, you can also relieve the symptoms of eczema through certain care methods!

1. The harm of yellow water discharge from eczema

Eczema is a common disease in life. Eczema is an inflammatory disease of the skin surface and the shallow layer of dermis. It is generally divided into acute eczema and chronic eczema according to the time of onset. Both types of eczema are recurrent and difficult to cure. The wounds are prone to oozing yellow fluid, and infections may occur when the yellow fluid touches the wound. They can easily develop into chronic skin diseases, causing a lot of trouble to patients.

2. What to do if eczema produces yellow fluid

When eczema causes yellow discharge, patients need to use some topical anti-inflammatory drugs for treatment. If eczema produces yellow fluid, the symptoms are more serious and you should go to a dermatologist for treatment.

Some patients like to apply hormone-containing ointments on their own. In fact, the use of such medicines requires consulting a doctor to master the appropriate course of treatment. Do not use them repeatedly, otherwise there will be side effects such as darkening and roughening of the skin.

If eczema causes yellow discharge, patients need to pay attention to skin cleansing in daily life. Do not use shower gel or soap when bathing. These irritating liquids will cause pain and infection in the affected area, and are not conducive to recovery. You only need to use a clean towel to wipe the affected area. Patients also need to keep their underwear clean to prevent bacteria on the clothes from infecting the wound.

3. Nursing methods for eczema

1. Avoid scratching. Scratching can cause the skin to be constantly exposed to mechanical stimulation, causing it to thicken and even cause infection. Scratching also has a reinforcing effect. The more the patient scratches, the more itchy it becomes, and the more itchy it becomes, the more he scratches, forming a vicious cycle and prolonging the course of the disease.

2. Avoid washing with hot water. In the acute stage of eczema, due to the expansion of capillaries in the skin, there will be varying degrees of skin redness, swelling, papules, and blisters. Washing or soaking with hot water will increase the redness and swelling, increase the amount of exudate, and worsen the condition. Therefore, patients with dermatitis and eczema should take a warm shower and avoid soaking in hot water or rubbing hard.

3. Try to find the cause of the disease, isolate the allergens, and avoid further stimulation. Remove lesions and treat systemic chronic diseases such as indigestion, intestinal parasitic diseases, diabetes, mental and neurological abnormalities, varicose veins in the lower legs, etc.

4. Pay attention to skin hygiene, do not use hot water or soap to clean skin lesions, and do not use irritating antipruritic drugs. 5. Avoid alcohol, spicy and irritating foods, and avoid foods that are easy to cause allergies and difficult to digest, such as fish and shrimp. Pay attention to the relationship between diet and the onset of the disease.

6. Combine work and rest to avoid excessive fatigue and mental stress.
