Patient's question:
I have been experiencing frequent dizziness lately, and I can't seem to eat properly either. My mental state isn't great either. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they said it's a blood-related issue. Could eczema trigger leukemia?Doctor's answer:
Eczema generally never causes leukemia. Leukemia is primarily a malignant tumor that occurs in the bone marrow. It is confirmed through bone marrow puncture tests. Eczema is primarily related to allergies, leading to dermatitis, and has no connection with leukemia. Eczema is a skin disease, while leukemia is an inflammatory condition of the blood system. Eczema is mainly treated with anti-allergic and anti-inflammatory pain-relieving medications to alleviate symptoms, whereas leukemia requires chemotherapy or bone marrow transplantation.
