What is dampness and poison

Disease is the most detrimental aspect of life for people, because disease can cause physical damage, causing people great pain symptoms, and disease requires treatment and can hardly be cured by relying on one's own resistance. There are many types of diseases, among which humidity-related diseases are relatively common and often bring great pain and trouble to the body. Let’s take a look at what dampness and toxins are. I hope everyone can understand it.

Dampness and toxins, also known as eczema, is an inflammatory skin disease, named after the tendency of the rash lesions to exude moisture. The causes of dampness and toxins can be divided into internal and external causes. Internal factors such as chronic digestive system diseases, mental stress, insomnia, excessive fatigue, mood changes, endocrine disorders, infections, metabolic disorders, etc.; external factors such as living environment, climate change, food, etc. can all affect the occurrence of eczema. The disease has a protracted course and is difficult to cure and prone to relapse.

Dampness and toxicity is an itchy and severe skin inflammatory reaction caused by a variety of internal and external factors. The skin lesions are characterized by polymorphism, symmetry, itching and easy recurrence. The causes of the disease are complex and are often the result of the interaction of internal and external factors. Specifically:

The clinical symptoms of dampness and toxicity vary greatly and the causes are complex. Eczema is classified based on the manifestations of skin lesions and the extent of skin lesions. Different types of eczema have different symptoms.

According to the different manifestations of skin lesions during the course of the disease, it is divided into three types: acute, subacute and chronic.

(1) Acute eczema: The skin lesions initially appear as numerous densely packed millet-sized papules, papulovesicles or small blisters with a flushed base, which gradually merge into patches. Due to scratching, the tops of the papules, papulovesicles or blisters may be scratched to reveal obvious punctate exudation and small erosive surfaces with unclear edges. If secondary infection occurs, the inflammation will be more obvious and may form pustules, pus scabs, folliculitis, furuncles, etc. The patient feels severe itching, which is common on the head, face, behind the ears, distal extremities, scrotum, and perianal area, and is often distributed symmetrically.

(2) Subacute eczema: After the inflammation of acute eczema is alleviated, the skin lesions are mainly small papules, scabs and scales, with only a small amount of papulovesicles and erosions. Still have severe itching.

(3) Chronic eczema: It often turns into chronic eczema due to repeated attacks of acute or subacute eczema. It may also start as chronic eczema. The symptoms include thickening and infiltration of the skin in the affected area, brown-red or pigmentation, rough surface, scaling, or scabs due to scratching. Conscious itching. It is commonly found in the calves, hands, feet, elbows, popliteal fossa, vulva, and anus. The course of the disease is uncertain, prone to relapse, and difficult to heal.
