What should I do if I suffer from seborrheic eczema?

Most people think that eczema is the skin disease that is most likely to occur in spring and summer because eczema is a skin inflammation caused by excessive moisture in the skin and high temperature. However, there is a type of eczema that causes skin inflammation due to the opposite pathological reasons. This is seborrheic eczema. This type of eczema causes the patient's skin to become dry, cracked and inflamed, and the incidence rate is highest in winter. Let’s take a look at what to do if you suffer from seborrheic eczema?

Seborrheic eczema is also known as winter pruritus and fissure eczema. Due to various reasons, the skin surface loses moisture and sebum secretion decreases.

As the weather becomes increasingly drier in winter, the secretion of moisturizing ingredients such as sweat and sebum in the skin decreases, causing the skin to become less elastic and lose its luster, stimulating the itch nerves and subsequently, causing sebaceous eczema.

symptom:

Symptoms of seborrheic eczema include redness, dryness, itching, and peeling of the skin. This type of eczema may cause tiny cracks similar to broken porcelain, which are especially obvious on the anterior shins of both lower legs. There is often a tingling and ant-like sensation, and scratches and bleeding due to scratching.

Experts remind that the weather is dry in winter and the sebaceous glands shrink. Taking a bath too frequently will make the skin drier. Citizens should reduce the number of baths appropriately to avoid suffering from sebaceous eczema.

TCM advice

Damp-heat syndrome: For general itching and papule types, it is recommended to use antipruritic and antibacterial methods as the main approach. You can use Dianwang Yinxuanjing spray on the affected area. People with eczema should avoid drinking alcohol, coffee, spicy and fried foods, and should eat a light diet with more fruits and vegetables. Eat less hot fruits such as durian, mango, longan, lychee, etc. to avoid adding fuel to the fire of the disease. Patients can eat more heat-clearing and dampness-removing foods such as mung beans, winter melon, lotus seeds, and bitter melon.
