What to do if there are fish scales on the calves

The most common cause of fish scales on the calves is ichthyosis, which is a relatively stubborn skin disease. There is currently no complete cure. At this time, you must make timely adjustments, strengthen treatment, and strengthen care in daily life. Traditional Chinese medicine has a good effect in this regard. You must insist on effective treatment, pay attention to the course of treatment, pay attention to skin cleanliness in daily life, and strengthen diet and other aspects.

TCM tips for removing ichthyosis

Traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions are commonly used for fish scale skin, and both internal and external application are helpful for fish scale skin. The following are some traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions that I have collected and compiled. You can use them according to your condition. 1. You can use 10 grams of cinnamon twig, 15 grams of salvia miltiorrhiza, 15 grams of rhubarb, 12 grams of radix polygoni lobatae, 10 grams each of rehmannia root, prunus mume, hemp seed, and walnut kernel. Grind the above medicines into powder and mix them evenly. Take 8 parts of lard and 6 parts of honey, heat, stir and cool, then rub the affected area twice a day. Use it for half a month continuously to effectively relieve the symptoms. To cure ichthyosis, you can use Shi's Herbal Cream, which is pure Chinese medicine, externally. Apply it to the skin 3-5 times a day. If you persist for a month, the ichthyosis problem can be solved. This recipe has miraculous effects. 2. Boil 20g of Lithospermum officinale, 10g of Licorice, 10g of Safflower, 30g of Angelica sinensis, 30g of Peach Kernel and 30g of Bletilla striata in water until concentrated. Mix an appropriate amount of glycerin and apply it to the affected area. This method is moisturizing and effectively relieves itching

Things to note when having ichthyosis

1. Use cotton fabrics for underwear, and avoid wearing chemical fiber fabrics. 2. Do not use alkaline soap when taking a bath and do not rub your skin! In the north, or in winter, you can use a humidifier indoors. The indoor temperature should not be too high. 3. When washing the affected area, be gentle and do not peel off the dandruff forcibly to avoid local infection, such as redness, swelling, heat, and pain, which will affect treatment and prolong the course of the disease. If conditions permit, you can take a hot spring bath and apply skin care oils to soften the skin, reduce scaling and itching, and prevent the skin from becoming too dry. Avoid using heavily alkaline soaps and irritating drugs. 4. Eat foods containing vitamins, such as fresh fruits and vegetables. Generally speaking, patients with ichthyosis should avoid shrimp, seafood, alcohol, and spicy foods. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that shrimp and seafood are fishy in nature and can easily turn into heat and cause wind; wine, onions, garlic, peppers and other foods are warm in nature and can help disperse heat, and their spicy taste can disperse the heat. A preference for these foods or improper eating can cause disharmony between the spleen and stomach and induce or aggravate the disease. But don't be too strict or too broad in your dietary restrictions, as this will not only affect your health, but also be detrimental to your recovery. Patients should pay attention to increasing nutrition, eat more carrots, fresh vegetables, fruits, animal liver, egg yolks, and legumes, and avoid smoking and drinking.
