Red spots around ankles

If some red spots appear around the ankles, it is generally caused by eczema. At this time, it can be treated with certain medications and some anti-allergic ointments can be applied. This situation may also be caused by allergic dermatitis, pruritus or neurodermatitis. You should pay attention to improving your body's immunity and pay attention to diet. Don't eat spicy and irritating foods at this time.

1. Diagnosis is mainly based on medical history, rash morphology and course of disease. The skin lesions of eczema are generally polymorphic, mainly composed of erythema, papules, and papulovesicles. The rash is obvious in the center and gradually spreads to the surrounding areas. The boundaries are unclear, diffuse, and there is a tendency to exudate. Chronic cases will show infiltration and hypertrophy. The course of the disease is irregular, with recurrent attacks and severe itching.

2. Treatment: The causes of eczema are complex, and it is easy to relapse even after improvement, making it difficult to cure. Because the clinical morphology and location are unique, the medication varies from person to person. 1. General principles of prevention and treatment: look for possible causes, such as work environment, living habits, diet, hobbies, thoughts and emotions, as well as the presence or absence of chronic lesions and visceral organ diseases. 2. Internal therapy: Use antihistamines to relieve itching, and use two together or alternately if necessary. Generalized eczema can be treated with oral or injected corticosteroids, but they should not be used for a long time. 3. Topical therapy: Select appropriate dosage forms and drugs according to the condition of skin lesions. For acute eczema, local washing and wet compresses with normal saline, 3% boric acid or 1:2000-1:10000 potassium permanganate solution, and calamine lotion for astringency and protection. Subacute and chronic eczema should be treated with appropriate glucocorticoid creams, tar preparations or immunomodulators, such as tacrolimus ointment and pimecrolimus ointment. Add antibiotic preparations for secondary infection.

Experts can only give some suggestions: seafood, chili peppers, beef, mutton, strong liquor, etc. can easily aggravate the disease, but it does not mean that it will definitely aggravate your own disease. It is generally recommended to observe yourself. If there is nothing wrong with eating them, you can eat them. This is also why some doctors tell patients not to eat this or that, and that they can only eat boiled cabbage every day. However, the disease still gets worse when it should. This is actually a misunderstanding. The most important thing is to keep the skin clean, prevent skin infections, avoid overwork, and maintain an optimistic and stable mood.
