There are various specialized prescriptions for treating eczema, including both internal and external applications of traditional Chinese medicine. A commonly used prescription is the modified Cnidium fruit formula, which consists of Cnidium monnieri, Sophora flavescens, and other herbs. After decoction, it is used to steam and wash the affected area, providing significant therapeutic effects for eczema. Additionally, there is Liu He Powder, composed of powdered chloramphenicol tablets, prednisone tablets, and other ingredients, which is applied topically and particularly suitable for acute eczema. At the same time, dietary therapies such as coix seed porridge and red date with hyacinth bean porridge can effectively alleviate eczema symptoms by regulating dampness within the body. When using these specialized prescriptions, it is recommended to do so under the guidance of a physician to ensure safety and effectiveness.
