Can Eczema Patients Take Wet Toxin Removing Capsules?
Generally, whether eczema patients can take Shiduqing Capsules depends on the specific syndrome type. If the eczema belongs to the syndrome of wind-dryness due to blood deficiency, taking Shiduqing Capsules is usually appropriate. However, if the eczema belongs to other syndrome types, such as the syndrome of dampness-heat immersion, it is not suitable to take Shiduqing Capsules. Detailed explanations are as follows:
If eczema presents symptoms such as dry, flaky skin, significant itching, accompanied by scratch marks and blood crusts, and has a long disease course, it belongs to the syndrome of wind-dryness due to blood deficiency. In this case, taking Shiduqing Capsules is more appropriate. Shiduqing Capsules have the effects of nourishing blood, moisturizing dryness, relieving wind, and alleviating itching, which can help relieve symptoms of dry and itchy skin caused by this type of eczema.
When eczema presents symptoms such as skin erythema, papules, blisters, exudation, and severe itching, and is diagnosed as the syndrome of dampness-heat immersion, Shiduqing Capsules are not recommended. This type of eczema requires treatment with medications that clear heat and remove dampness. Taking Shiduqing Capsules may fail to relieve symptoms and could even interfere with recovery due to an incompatible syndrome match.
When suffering from eczema, in addition to selecting appropriate medication based on the syndrome type, daily care should also include maintaining clean and moisturized skin, avoiding scratching and washing with hot water. Wearing loose, breathable cotton clothing can reduce skin irritation.
