Pyoderma can be treated through enhanced nutrition, local wet compresses, topical medications, oral medications, and ultraviolet irradiation:
1. Enhanced Nutrition: Pyoderma is an acute dermatitis caused by contact with the bodily fluids of the rove beetle. Patients may develop rashes and edematous erythematous patches. During the course of the disease, the patient's immunity is relatively weak; therefore, it is recommended to enhance nutrition. Consuming high-protein foods such as eggs, lean meat, and crabs can provide necessary nutrients, improve immunity, and aid in recovery.
2. Local Wet Compresses: Patients can also apply normal saline compresses to the affected areas to help reduce local inflammation and alleviate discomfort.
3. Topical Medications: When symptoms such as erythema and pruritus appear on the skin surface, treatment with topical medications under a physician's guidance may be used, such as calamine lotion, mometasone furoate cream, and halometasone cream.
4. Oral Medications: If the symptoms on the skin surface are severe, oral medications under a physician's guidance may be necessary to relieve symptoms, such as prednisone acetate tablets, dexamethasone acetate tablets, and loratadine tablets.
5. Ultraviolet Irradiation: Applying ultraviolet light to the affected areas can help accelerate the repair and recovery of skin tissue, reduce local inflammation, and improve discomfort.
