Patient's question:
My pubic area is itchy, and almost every hair that touches the skin has dandruff-like flakes, but the dead skin is a bit dark brown in color.Doctor's answer:
Considering it may be symptoms of eczema, the current treatment for eczema still primarily relies on medication, such as antihistamines. Due to their effective anti-itching effects, they are a commonly used type of medication in clinical eczema treatment. There are many types of antihistamines, and it is generally recommended to use a single medication for treatment to avoid significant side effects. However, combined treatment with two medications is also acceptable when necessary.Applying topical medications that can help treat eczema is also a very important treatment measure. Commonly used medications include corticosteroid creams, tar-based preparations, and immunomodulators, such as clobetasol ointment and pimecrolimus ointment. These have achieved very ideal therapeutic effects in treating eczema. Corticosteroid creams also have side effects and potential for resistance, so strict control over the course of treatment and dosage is required when using them. We hope patients can pay attention to this point.
