How to treat blood-heat-related skin diseases

The treatment of blood-heat-related skin diseases primarily follows the principles of clearing heat, cooling the blood, detoxifying, and relieving itching. Treatment methods include: 1. Medication: - Oral medications: Traditional Chinese herbs that clear heat and cool the blood, such as Salvia miltiorrhiza (Danshen), Red Peony Root (Chishao), and Imperata rhizome (Baimaogen), may be used. Antihistamines or anti-itch medications such as desloratadine or cyproheptadine can also be administered to alleviate symptoms. - Topical treatments: Depending on specific conditions—for example, calcipotriol ointment or tacrolimus ointment for psoriasis; calamine lotion or corticosteroid creams for eczema—to reduce symptoms. 2. Daily regulation: - Dietary adjustments: Emphasize light, nutritious foods such as lily bulbs, lotus seeds, and winter melon. Avoid spicy and greasy foods. 3. Lifestyle habits: Maintain a regular daily routine, ensure smooth bowel movements, avoid excessive heat exposure, gently wipe itchy areas with lukewarm water, and avoid scratching.
