Is it true that potatoes can treat skin diseases?

Fruits and vegetables contain a lot of nutrients that are good for your skin. So is it true that potatoes can treat skin diseases? There is a folk saying that mashed potatoes can be used to treat dermatitis and eczema. The method is to wash the potatoes, peel them, grind them into mash, stick them on the affected area, and then cover them with gauze. Change it three times a day for a week. It is especially effective in treating dermatitis and eczema. Is this true?

This method is popular and is credible, but generally speaking we do not recommend patients to use it this way, as mashed potatoes are not very effective in treating dermatitis and eczema. And if not handled properly, it will delay the patient's best treatment time. There are many types of dermatitis and eczema, and not all of them can be treated with mashed potatoes. It is recommended that everyone go to the hospital for detailed examination and treatment.

Eczema is a common disease. Secondly, eczema is a skin disease caused by allergens. If eczema patients are constantly exposed to allergens, it will cause the spread of eczema. So in order to prevent the spread of eczema, patients should first find out the allergens and stay away from them. After eczema occurs, patients should pay attention to skin cleanliness and hygiene, and avoid scratching with hands or washing with hot water to avoid further irritation; they should also pay more attention to diet, avoid spicy and irritating foods and seafood, and should not touch tobacco and alcohol; they should also have confidence in recovery and maintain a good attitude. Mentality is an important factor in recovery from illness.

When the disease flares up without medication, patients with dermatitis and eczema can relieve symptoms by wiping the skin with salt water. Do not eat fish, shrimp, seafood, coriander, chili pepper, etc. Never use hormonal drugs such as dermatitis. Long-term use will cause the skin to darken. The melanin deposited in the skin is difficult to fade, affecting the appearance. Don't scratch it with your hands, as there are many bacteria on your hands and it is easy to get infected. So we should pay attention to our lifestyle habits.

The use of potatoes to treat dermatitis and eczema also depends on the individual's skin type and condition. Patients are advised to use them with caution. Some dermatitis and eczema are suitable for use, while others are not. Patients are advised to follow the doctor's methods for treatment and get rid of the troubles of dermatitis and eczema in time for treatment. I wish you a speedy recovery!
