The best treatment for red and broken skin

Erythroderma is actually a more complicated skin disease, mainly caused by eczema, dermatitis, allergies or worsening of other diseases. Symptoms include: skin itching, inflammation, redness, swelling and pain, desquamation, fever or swelling of other parts of the body. It is characterized by rapid onset, contagiousness, and a wide range that can spread to the whole body. It is generally divided into acute erythroderma and chronic erythroderma.

Erythroderma is a skin disease that develops relatively quickly. If not treated in time, it may be life-threatening to the patient. Therefore, the treatment of erythroderma must be taken seriously and the correct treatment method must be chosen. So, what kind of treatment is more effective for erythroderma?

The following is a detailed introduction:

Since erythroderma patients shed a lot of desquamation, lose protein, and have fever that consumes body water and heat energy, it is very important to replenish sufficient protein, water and electrolytes in time. The infusion speed should not be too fast to prevent heart failure due to excessive heart load, and blood electrolytes should be measured regularly. Since erythroderma patients exude more body fluids from the skin, they bring out a large amount of electrolytes. If not replenished in time, it may even be life-threatening.

Erythroderma patients have skin lesions all over the body, and the skin loses the ability to resist external bacteria. In addition, the use of corticosteroids reduces the body's resistance and makes it extremely susceptible to infection. Once the infection focus is found, sufficient and effective antibiotics should be given in time to try to control the infection in the short term.

Since the introduction of hormone therapy for erythroderma, the mortality rate of erythroderma has dropped significantly. Correct and timely use of corticosteroids can shorten the course of the disease, improve the cure rate, and prevent various complications. The principle of using hormones is sufficient dosage. Generally, 40 to 60 mg of prednisone is given daily. After the symptoms are controlled, the dosage of hormones should be gradually reduced, and the medication should not be stopped suddenly.

According to TCM syndrome differentiation and treatment, erythroderma can be divided into toxic heat accumulation, heat toxicity and dampness, and excessive heat damaging yin syndrome. Traditional Chinese medicine has its unique features in the treatment of erythroderma. It can control clinical symptoms such as fever and exudation, replace or reduce the dosage of hormones, prevent the premature occurrence of hormone side effects, enhance the body's immunity, prevent infection, etc. The harm of erythroderma is obvious to all. You must go to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible. Experts remind: The treatment of erythroderma must choose scientific treatment and a one-time cure. Never choose some methods with a long treatment cycle, which will make the patient suffer more and it is easy to relapse.
