Introduction
For patients with eczema exhibiting patterns of damp-heat or blood deficiency with wind-dryness, taking Shiduqing Capsules may be beneficial. When eczema presents with skin erythema, papules, and pruritus, accompanied by symptoms of damp-heat such as dry mouth, constipation, red tongue with yellow coating, or manifestations of blood deficiency with wind-dryness such as recurrent rashes and dry, desquamative skin, the Shiduqing Capsules' functions of resolving dampness, clearing toxicity, nourishing blood, and moistening dryness may help alleviate symptoms and thus could be effective.
Generally, for eczema patients with damp-heat or blood deficiency with wind-dryness syndrome types, taking Shiduqing Capsules may be helpful. However, for other syndrome types, the effects may be limited. If any abnormalities occur, timely medical consultation is recommended. Detailed analysis is as follows:
Eczema表现为皮肤红斑、丘疹、瘙痒，且伴有口干、便秘、舌红苔黄等湿热症状，或皮疹反复、皮肤干燥脱屑等血虚风燥表现时，湿毒清胶囊的化湿解毒、养血润燥功效可辅助缓解症状，此时可能起到一定作用。
When eczema presents with damp-cold syndrome, characterized by skin blisters, clear exudate, and worsening symptoms in cold conditions, Shiduqing Capsules may not effectively address the condition due to their lack of warming properties to resolve damp-cold. Taking them may not significantly improve eczema symptoms and could potentially delay appropriate treatment.
Prior to using Shiduqing Capsules, eczema patients should identify their specific syndrome type to avoid blind medication use. If symptoms do not improve after a period of medication, timely medical consultation is necessary to adjust the treatment plan.
