Eyelid eczema prevention

Prevention: The disease occurs in the summer, and there are multiple allergies. The incidence of infants and young children is higher than that of adults.

1. Remove the cause

(1) Although the cause of eczema is not easy to be clear, we should still ask for a detailed history, conduct necessary systematic examinations, try to find possible causes and remove them.

(2) People with allergies should not only avoid contact with substances that are allergic to allergies in food, clothing, housing, etc., but also strengthen physical exercise to improve allergies.

2. Avoid stimulating factors

Once eczema occurs, as a patient, try to avoid irritating factors, including scratching, boiling water, soap scrubbing, drinking and spicy food, so as not to aggravate the condition of eczema.

3. Early diagnosis and early treatment

According to the clinical itching severe, pleomorphic damage, tendency to exude, good limbs flexion and easy recurrence, easy to diagnose. For densely distributed red papules, herpes, with severe itching, should be treated early. Since most of the early eczema belongs to the acute phase or the subacute phase, the external drug treatment should follow the corresponding principle.

4. Allergic constitution or family history of allergies, to avoid a variety of external stimuli, such as hot water scalding, scratching, sun exposure, etc., try to avoid sensitizing and irritating food.

5. Life should be regular, pay attention to work and rest.

6. Clothing should be loose to reduce friction and stimulation, and do not allow chemical fiber and wool to directly contact the skin.

7. Eczema, especially chronic ones, are mostly not cured after years of treatment, and patients often lose confidence. In fact, eczema is not an "incurable disease", because the cause of the disease is extremely complicated, which brings difficulties to treatment. Patients should work with a doctor to build a cure.
