What medicine can I use for eczema during pregnancy

When treating eczema, we usually use both topical and oral medications, because only in this way can the treatment be quicker. Moreover, eczema is a skin disease that is very difficult to treat. Not only is the treatment process relatively long, but it is also prone to recurrence. The most fundamental method is to completely remove the moisture in the patient's body. So what kind of ointment can pregnant women with eczema use?

Western medicine mainly treats eczema with oral antihistamines, such as diphenhydramine, phenergan, chlorpheniramine, cyproheptadine, etc., which can be used alone or in combination, and can also be used with sedatives, vitamin C, etc. The dosage form of external medicine depends on the clinical manifestation of skin lesions. If there is obvious redness and swelling, and there is a lot of exudation, cold wet compress with solution should be selected. For erythema and papules, lotions, emulsions, mud pastes, oils, etc. can be used; for blisters and erosions, oils are needed; for scales and scabs, ointments are used; for lichenification, mud pastes, ointments, emulsions, film-coatings, tinctures and plasters are mostly selected.

You can apply calamine lotion or oscillating lotion. Chinese medicine also has a certain effect in treating eczema. You can choose to use purple grass decoction for external washing.

Try to reduce adverse external stimuli, such as scratching, external soap, hot water washing, etc.; clothing should be loose, light and soft, and avoid wearing wool or nylon fabrics. Try applying zinc oxide ointment to the affected area.

Eczema is a relatively difficult skin disease to treat, and it mainly depends on Chinese and Western medicine as well as self-regulation.

①Try to find the cause of the disease as much as possible, isolate the allergen, and avoid further stimulation. Remove lesions and treat systemic chronic diseases such as indigestion, intestinal parasitic diseases, diabetes, mental and neurological abnormalities, varicose veins in the lower legs, etc.

② Pay attention to skin hygiene, do not use hot water or soap to clean skin lesions, and do not use irritating antipruritic drugs.

③ Avoid alcohol, spicy and irritating foods, avoid foods that are easy to cause allergies and difficult to digest, such as fish and shrimp, and pay attention to the relationship between diet and the onset of the disease.

④ Combine work and rest to avoid excessive fatigue and mental stress.

Suggestions:

1. Choose foods that can clear away heat and dampness. Such as mung beans, red beans, amaranth, shepherd's purse, purslane, winter melon, cucumber, lettuce, etc., eat less fish, shrimp, beef, mutton and spicy food.

2. Eat more foods rich in vitamins and minerals. Such as sauerkraut juice, carrot juice, fresh fruit juice, tomato juice, vegetable puree, fruit puree, etc., to regulate the baby's physiological functions and reduce skin allergic reactions.

3. To maintain normal digestion and absorption capabilities, food should be light, with less salt and sugar, so as to avoid excessive accumulation of water and sodium in the body, aggravating the exudation, pain and itching of the rash, and causing skin erosion.
