Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I can't sleep, which greatly affects my work efficiency. My friend recommended checking with a neurology department. How can systemic sclerosis be completely eliminated to see results?Doctor's answer:
Systemic sclerosis cannot be cured, but symptoms can be relieved through medication. Systemic sclerosis is a common rheumatic systemic disease, primarily characterized by skin thickening, fibrosis, and damage to multiple organs such as the heart, lungs, and digestive system. There is no specific medication for this disease. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment mainly involves oral herbal remedies, and it can also be supplemented with external herbal steam baths to directly apply medication to the affected skin surface, promoting softening, sweating, and the excretion of toxins through sweat. Additionally, treatments such as acupuncture and laser therapy can be combined. Generally, patients undergoing comprehensive treatment begin to see gradual softening of the affected skin within about a week.
