How to reduce inflammation for inflamed and swollen skin

There are several ways to reduce inflammation and swelling caused by skin inflammation. Below are some recommendations: 1. Topical medications: Apply ointments such as mupirocin ointment or fusidic acid cream, which can help alleviate local inflammation and swelling. 2. Cold compress: Use an ice pack or a clean towel wrapped around ice cubes and gently apply it to the affected area for 5–10 minutes, several times daily. This helps constrict capillaries and reduce inflammatory exudation. 3. Oral medications: Antihistamines—For redness and swelling caused by allergies, drugs such as cetirizine or loratadine may be taken. 4. Daily care: Keep the skin clean and dry, and use mild, non-irritating skincare and cleansing products. Adjust your diet to include light foods and avoid spicy, greasy, raw, or cold foods.
