Patient's question:
Child, itchy all over, especially worse in the evening when taking a nap compared to daytime. They have to keep scratching, mainly concentrated in private areas, armpits, and wrists, almost scratching all over the body. After scratching, small red spots appear, sometimes even scratching until the skin breaks. Besides the skin itching, there are no other discomforts in the body. The itchy symptoms have persisted for nearly two years, and despite seeing many doctors and taking medication, there has been little relief. An automated immune test at the hospital showed an immunoglobulin E (IgE) result of 732, with units of IU/ml, which indicates an abnormal value. I hope the doctor can find a solution. The child can't sleep all night long, scratching until dawn, and lacks energy during the day to attend tutoring. The child is 7 years old (in lunar years).Doctor's answer:
The situation you mentioned, the child is still allergic. Additionally, it may also be related to dry skin. Apply more moisturizer to the child frequently, allowing the skin to remain moisturized for quick recovery. After it improves, it will be less prone to flare-ups. You can cook oats into a sticky porridge and use it to bathe the child, adding it to the bath water. This is beneficial for repairing the skin barrier.Additionally, pay attention to digestion and nutrition. Eat more lean meat, eggs, milk, fruits, vegetables, nuts, and other foods, which are beneficial for repairing the skin barrier.
