Dr. Wang Xiaoyan
Patients with generalized pruritus should pay attention to daily skin care, reduce mental stress and anxiety, and minimize contact with irritants. Diet should be carefully managed—spicy foods should be avoided, and alcohol consumption is prohibited. Patients with a history of allergies should avoid known allergens as much as possible. For pruritus caused by dry skin, environmental modifications are important: bathing frequency should be reduced, skin moisturization enhanced, and personal hygiene maintained. Implementing these measures effectively helps prevent symptom exacerbation.
