What to do before eczema treatment

Before undergoing eczema treatment, patients need to understand what eczema is. As an inflammatory skin disease, patients may experience dry skin, red rashes, itching, peeling, and sometimes even accompanied by scaly patches and blisters. Therefore, there are different types of eczema depending on the symptoms, the most common being atopic dermatitis, which is prone to recurring conditions, making eczema treatment more difficult.

Allergy is one of the most important causes of eczema. To increase the skin's resistance, keeping the skin moisturized is one of the most effective ways. Therefore, eczema treatment requires consistent skin cleansing, and if possible, it is recommended to purchase a humidifier to maintain the room temperature. Regular cleaning of the home, especially bedding may have a large number of dust mites, which is a trigger for sensitization, and clothing should be made of cotton.

Due to the many causes of eczema, the progress of eczema treatment varies from patient to patient, even with the use of medication. Currently, oral medications are more effective and convenient, but as the condition changes from severe to mild, the dosage of the medication will also change. It is important to adjust the dosage of the medication under the guidance of the doctor, and avoid reducing the dosage or even stopping the medication, as this may result in the return of eczema, which will seriously affect the effectiveness of the treatment.
