Introduction
Qishenlian Eczema Ointment may be used under a physician’s guidance when an infant exhibits eczema symptoms—such as erythematous skin lesions, papules, and pruritus—without other severe skin damage or infection. This ointment functions to clear heat, dry dampness, dispel wind, and detoxify, thereby helping to alleviate eczema symptoms. Concurrently, the affected area should be kept clean and dry, and any factors that may irritate the skin or exacerbate infection should be avoided.
Under normal circumstances, if an infant develops eczema without skin breaks or open wounds, the Qishenlian Eczema Ointment may be used under medical supervision. However, if skin breaks or open wounds are present, the use of Qishenlian Eczema Ointment is not recommended. Prior to using this ointment, consultation with a physician or pharmacist is advised. The rationale is as follows:
When an infant exhibits eczema symptoms—such as erythematous patches, papules, and pruritus—and there are no other severe skin breaks or signs of infection, Qishenlian Eczema Ointment may be applied under a physician’s guidance. This ointment possesses properties of clearing heat, drying dampness, dispelling wind, and detoxifying, thereby helping to alleviate eczema symptoms. Concurrently, the affected area should be kept clean and dry, and exposure to skin irritants or factors that might exacerbate infection should be avoided.
If skin breaks or signs of infection are present, Qishenlian Eczema Ointment should be avoided, as its ingredients may irritate the wound and potentially worsen the infection. In such cases, prompt medical evaluation and treatment per physician instructions are essential.
When applying the ointment, use only a moderate amount directly on the affected area; excessive application may cause skin irritation or other adverse reactions.
