How to treat skin diseases caused by dampness and toxicity

To treat skin conditions caused by dampness and toxicity, it is important to keep the skin clean and dry, and avoid excessive scratching and irritation.

Appropriate medications, such as antihistamines and antibiotics, should be used to relieve symptoms and control infection. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) also demonstrates certain effectiveness in treating such skin disorders, for example, using herbal formulas that clear heat, detoxify, promote diuresis, and relieve itching, administered both orally and topically.

During treatment, patients should follow medical advice and pay attention to adjustments in diet and lifestyle habits to promote recovery.
