Itch in the ears, chin and pubic meridians

Some people will experience symptoms of facial itching, and when their face itches, they cannot scratch it hard with their hands, because it is easy to scratch their face and leave scars, which has a great impact on the appearance of their face. The itching of the ear and chin meridians is generally caused by some endocrine disorders in the human body. Next, I will introduce to you why the symptoms of itching of the ear and chin meridians occur.

Allergic eczema is a common allergic inflammatory skin disease with the clinical characteristics of polymorphic rash, which tends to exude fluid and is symmetrically distributed. The itching is unbearable, the disease is prone to recurrence, and the course of the disease is long. It may not heal for many years and can easily develop into a chronic disease. The cause of the disease is quite complicated. Most of them are caused by the influence of certain external factors or internal factors. It is recommended to actively check for allergens and provide symptomatic treatment.

Causes

The cause of the disease is relatively complex and is generally related to the individual factors of the patient. Clinically, it is divided into internal and external factors: internal factors include allergic constitution, mental and neurological disorders, excessive fatigue, mental stress, endocrine and digestive dysfunction, lesion infection, sweating, dry skin, chronic disease metabolism such as diabetes, etc.; external factors include food (such as milk, protein, fish and shrimp, etc.), air (such as pollen, dust), contact chemicals (such as cosmetics, spices, dyes, detergents, etc.), ultraviolet radiation, bacterial infection, scratching stimulation, etc.

Clinical manifestations

Eczema can occur at any age and in any part of the body, in any season, and is prone to occur on the hands, feet, ears, breasts, vulva, and limbs, but often recurs or worsens in winter. It is characterized by symmetry, severe itching, easy recurrence, and some patients may have exudate or dryness, cracking, and desquamation at the affected skin lesions. Over time, it can lead to skin hyperplasia and hypertrophy. Eczema is not contagious.

1. Acute eczema

The skin presents with erythema, papules, vesicles, pustules, flaky patches with unclear borders, and may have yellow exudate and bright red erosions. In severe cases, secondary infection or pustules and local lymph node enlargement may occur.

2. Chronic eczema

The skin is dark red, rough, dry, and has grayish white scales that fall off easily and may be localized like coins. The skin texture becomes wider and deeper, pigmentation is accompanied by lichenification, itching is severe, and exudation is not obvious. The skin may become cracked, scratched, and bloody, or the skin may become infiltrated and thickened.

treat

In treatment, we should first understand the cause of the disease and try to avoid the stimulation of harmful factors.

1. Topical medications: Different topical medications should be used for different manifestations of eczema. If there is exudate on the skin lesions, cold wet compresses are recommended, such as 3% boric acid or 1/8000 potassium permanganate solution wet compresses. If the exudate has been significantly reduced after wet compresses, zinc oxide oil can be applied externally. After the rash is dry and the exudate has stopped, creams containing steroid hormones can be applied externally. For dryness and desquamation, you can choose moisturizers such as vaseline; for skin hyperplasia, infiltration and hypertrophy, you can use patches containing steroid hormones. If it is a bacterial infection, it is recommended to use antibiotic ointments such as mupirocin at the same time.

2. Oral medications: antihistamine cetirizine, taken orally once a day; or loratadine, taken orally once a day.

3. Pay attention to skin care, avoid using hot water or soap to clean and irritate skin lesions, and do not use irritating anti-itching drugs indiscriminately. Pay attention to the combination of work and rest, and avoid excessive fatigue and mental stress.

4. Pay attention to avoid spicy and irritating foods, and avoid fish, shrimp and other allergic and indigestible foods.
