Folliculitis medication method

Folliculitis is a skin disease that can quickly develop into abscesses. Folliculitis begins as red papules, which may cause itching and mild pain in the affected area. The main area where folliculitis occurs is the area where adults have more hair. Patients must not scratch hard, and must pay close attention to their diet. Do not eat irritating or oily foods, and eat more fruits and vegetables to increase their immunity.

Folliculitis is caused by internal accumulation of damp heat. In addition, Chinese medicine believes that It may be caused by external heat toxins accumulating in the skin; or it may be caused by physical weakness and loose pores, which lead to external heat evil. Common clinical syndromes include:

Swelling and pain, 1. Damp-heat type: Symptoms include scattered red papules on the buttocks or limbs. The urine is short and red, the stool is constipated, the tongue coating is thin and yellow, and the pulse is stringy.

After warming and softening, apply it to the affected area while it is still warm and press lightly. Change the dressing once every 23 days. If the boils break and pus comes out, change the dressing 1-2 times a day, and apply it 1-2 more times after the pus is drained so that the hard nodes at the root can be completely absorbed.
