Is yellow discharge from eczema good or bad?

If you live in a relatively humid environment for a long time, you may develop eczema. Children are generally more prone to eczema, but adults can also develop it. After discovering the problem of eczema, people may also find that they have yellow discharge. At this time, people will feel nervous because they don’t know whether yellow discharge due to eczema is good or bad. Let’s give people a detailed analysis below.

Yellow discharge from eczema is generally a serious condition. Eczema is an inflammatory skin disease caused by allergies, characterized by infiltrative erythema, accompanied by symptoms such as blisters, exudation, erosion, and itching. It recurs repeatedly and presents a chronic change. If blisters, exudation, and other symptoms appear after topical medication, it means that the symptoms have worsened, rather than being a sign of detoxification.

Eczema can recur and affect the quality of life. A small number of patients will develop erythroderma, which can even be life-threatening. Through proper prevention and treatment, eczema is completely controllable. The key to treating eczema is to identify and eliminate the cause and prevent recurrence. Patients with eczema should pay attention in their daily life and treatment.

1. Eczema is not contagious. Eczema is not caused by unhygienic conditions. Instead, washing too frequently or taking a bath in very hot water will damage the skin barrier, inducing and aggravating the condition.

2. Persist in using moisturizers to prevent recurrence. After long-term observation, the Dermatology Department of Ruijin Hospital found that using moisturizers with skin barrier protection function after bathing can play an auxiliary role in treatment and significantly reduce recurrence.

3. Wear soft cotton underwear to avoid scratching and rubbing the skin.

4. The proportion of eczema patients allergic to cod was the highest, followed by egg yolk and egg white, then peanuts, soybeans, shrimp, crab, rice, wheat, chicken and milk. The incidence of allergies was relatively the lowest. Among the six allergic inhalers, dust mites had the highest allergy rate, followed by cockroaches, then green ants and cross-linked fungi, and the least common were mulberry, sycamore and sedge. But unless there is conclusive evidence, do not abstain from certain foods easily to avoid malnutrition.

5. Treatment should be reasonable with topical glucocorticoids, and do not be overly afraid of their side effects; in the acute attack accompanied by large amounts of exudation, small doses of hormones can be injected or taken orally for a short time to control acute inflammation. For eczema occurring on the face, non-hormonal products such as Weikaning or Yushiting, which are pure Chinese herbal formulas, are preferred and have significant effects. Narrowband ultraviolet radiation is also a very effective method, which can effectively control the disease and reduce the use of hormones. Severe eczema on the hands and feet can be treated with PUVA (ultraviolet irradiation after external application of photosensitizer) and semiconductor laser irradiation.
