Patient's question:
Doctor, I'd like to ask if this is a skin condition, as it always peels and is most noticeable in winter. I've tried applying various medications, but none have worked. It turns red when exposed to hot water, and it doesn't cause any pain or itching. It started recurring when the child was one year old, and even now, they cannot touch soaps or detergents! I'd like to ask what this condition is and what methods can permanently cure it!Doctor's answer:
The condition of the child may be due to fungal infection, eczema, or nutritional imbalance, which could be causing the symptoms you have described. It is advisable to consult an experienced traditional Chinese medicine practitioner to determine the appropriate herbal treatment, such as decocting and washing with Kушен Tang from "Collected Experiences in the Treatment of Sores" (《》). Pay attention to dietary nutrition and avoid picky eating. If the condition does not improve with this approach, you can apply vitamin C injection locally.
