Patient's question:
My daughter is 11 years old this year, but she has often had itchy hands and feet since she was a child, and then it would peel off. Her hands often looked like dry tree bark. When she saw a doctor, they said it was blood heat. I wonder what kind of disease is blood heat? How can it be treated?Doctor's answer:
In the current situation, it is necessary to go to the hospital promptly to see a doctor and follow their advice for the corresponding examination and treatment. Blood heat can be caused by working in very hot environments, exposure to excessive heat during hot seasons, excessive sun exposure, or excessive sweating without adequate fluid intake, prolonged thirst, dehydration, or consuming dry-heat foods such as fried or roasted dishes, or taking stimulants. It is recommended to seek treatment from a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner.
