Eczema is one of the most common skin diseases in life. It has a great impact on the patient's body and often causes great damage to the patient's skin.

1. The main symptom of eczema is itching. When the disease first occurs, it is usually characterized by papules and herpes, and sometimes there is exudation on the surface of the lesions. If eczema recurs, it will turn into chronic eczema. Chronic eczema will cause lichenification of the skin and the skin will become rough due to long-term scratching.

2. Eczema is also an allergic disease. To get rid of eczema, in addition to local medication and systemic treatment, you should also pay attention to discovering the causes of eczema and eliminating them. If you are allergic to seafood, try to avoid eating seafood, fish and shrimp. If you are allergic to pollen, try to avoid contact with pollen.

3. Some inflammatory diseases or parasitic diseases can also become the cause of eczema if they are not treated promptly for a long time. Such factors as chronic tonsillitis, periodontitis, gingivitis, and intestinal parasitic diseases may all lead to the occurrence of eczema. Therefore, after suffering from eczema, you should also pay attention to eliminating these causes.
