Why doesn't dermatitis get better?
After interviewing multiple dermatitis patients, we broadly summarized them into 2 causes:
➊ Confused with other skin diseases, symptomatic treatment was not possible at first
In the early stage of dermatitis, many people tend to mistake skin redness and rashes for dry air, mosquito bites, skin care product allergies, etc., or simply think that they have acne.
Morphologically: the typical characteristics of dermatitis also include papules, erythema, blisters and other symptoms, and may also be accompanied by some dry skin and itching, which is indeed easy for ordinary people to confuse.
The affected area may be this, this, or so 👇

➋ Hormone drug abuse
In terms of really dealing with the discomfort of dermatitis, the pit that everyone is often prone to step on is: the abuse of hormone drugs.
Dermatologists encounter too many patients in the outpatient clinic, and they have to spend more time on standardized treatment because they are too eager to "miracle effect", which leads to the abuse of hormone drugs.
How to deal with recurrent episodes of dermatitis
In the scientific treatment of dermatitis, it is not that hormones cannot be used, but that they should be used in a standardized manner.
If itching is significant, a professional dermatologist generally recommends antihistamines (eg, loratadine, cetirizine) as an anti-itch and anti-inflammatory drug first. If the skin lesions are severe, further systemic therapy with corticosteroids (e.g., hydrocortisone) is indicated.
What kind of medicine is used?
How many cycles does it take to use a single pill?
Is it possible to choose lotion for itching and pain?
The detailed medication regimen cannot be generalized through the above few sentences, and needs to be viewed in combination with the actual skin condition of the individual.
Because we have found that many people who suffer from dermatitis are also troubled by other skin problems, such as:
Seborrheic dermatitis is accompanied by acne
Every outbreak of dermatitis is accompanied by a rosacea flare-up
Not only does the face have dermatitis problems, but it also produces a lot of oil

Why was it not treated in the first place
The dermatitis also got better
Seeing this, I want to tell you honestly: the "good" here is likely to be an illusion.
The etiology of dermatitis is relatively complex, and many reasons such as exposure to allergens, damage to the skin barrier, and abnormal immunity can cause dermatitis, especially if you don't know the triggers, even if you look good on the surface, you may make a comeback if you continue to leave it alone.
However, although it is prone to recurrence, dermatitis can usually be well controlled with the help of a dermatologist.
What skincare products I am using now that I can't use?
What should I pay attention to when applying makeup?
What are the specific foods to avoid?
All of the above can be asked when consulting a doctor, and the doctor will also explain to you in detail, in general, the fight against dermatitis is inseparable from the cooperation between you and the doctor.
Therefore, when you have a dermatitis attack, don't try to wait for it to heal on its own, and don't toss it yourself, consult a professional dermatologist, greatly reduce the time and energy invested in this matter, and regain healthy skin as soon as possible.
