Eczema is a disease of multiple skin lesions. The usual symptoms are red skin, severe itching, and repeated illnesses, which can easily lead to chronic skin problems, such as thickening of the skin, peeling, or long-term itching.

Eczema is divided into three types: acute, subacute and chronic. Acute eczema, the symptoms are dark red on the surface of the skin, severe itching and very severe skin exudation. For subacute eczema, the skin will not be too red, and it will begin to collect water or have fewer blisters, but it has begun to peel. In the chronic stage, lichen-like lesions appear on the skin, that is, skin thickening, pigmentation, dry and peeling skin, and very severe and prolonged skin itching.

Chinese medicine believes that eczema is caused by congenital inadequacy and improper dietary conditioning. Regarding daily skin care, pay attention to a light diet and avoid excessive consumption of seafood, beef and lamb. In the household environment, try to avoid contact with allergens, including pollen, pet hair, household paint, cleaning products and chemicals.

For personal care, do not use overheated bath water and strong bath products, and do not use too strong a jet of water to rub the affected area of the skin. Remember to apply appropriate skin moisturizers after bathing. The skin on the affected area needs to be kept dry and wear loose and comfortable clothing. Finally, remember to have good doctor-patient cooperation and discuss the best treatment plan with your doctor. Patients are recommended to use three skin moisturizers, including coconut oil, avocado oil and moringa seed oil. Among the three, Moringa seed oil has the best anti-inflammatory effect and excellent skin moisturizing effect.
