While there is currently no cure for dermatitis eczema, symptoms can be effectively controlled and recurrence reduced through proper treatment and daily management, allowing patients to live normal lives. It is recommended to develop a long-term management plan under the guidance of a doctor.
Specifically, controlling the disease mainly relies on the following methods:
1. **Adhere to standardized treatment:** Using prescription ointments (such as steroid or non-steroidal ointments) can effectively relieve redness and itching. It is necessary to use them according to the course of treatment and avoid stopping the medication on your own or abusing the medication.
2. **Proper Skin Care:** Use moisturizing cream daily to hydrate and repair the skin barrier; avoid excessively hot water when showering, refrain from vigorous rubbing, and choose gentle cleansing products.
3. **Avoid triggering factors:** Observe carefully and try to avoid contact with substances that may aggravate eczema, such as certain cosmetics, dust, pet hair, or certain foods.
4. **Maintain healthy habits:** Regular sleep patterns, stress relief, and wearing loose-fitting cotton clothing can help reduce the frequency of attacks.
While eczema may recur, there's no need to be overly anxious. Please consult a dermatologist to adjust your treatment plan based on your individual situation, and keep a record of daily skin changes to find a skincare routine that suits you. Long-term, patient management is key to maintaining stable and healthy skin.
