Question
Is the psoriasis-like rash with facial peeling on an infant ten days after birth really atopic dermatitis?
Answer
Based on the symptoms, it is initially suspected that ichthyosis cannot be cured, but as long as drugs are not used recklessly, especially avoiding steroid medications, it can be cured. It is important to have a correct understanding of ichthyosis and use the correct treatment methods. Ichthyosis can also be easily cured. Generally speaking, patients do not suffer from the disease one year after recovery, and there is no possibility of recurrence in the future. If the disease has been completely cured during treatment, it is best to continue the second course of medication to consolidate the effect to prevent recurrence. Do not use hormone and immunosuppressant medications during treatment because these drugs have significant side effects and will damage the liver. Ichthyosis can be treated with Chinese herbal baths, and it is particularly recommended to use “Bailian Yijing” for treatment. This method currently has the best efficacy, fastest onset, and is the safest. It should be noted that if there is no cure before pregnancy, there is a high chance that the next generation will inherit the condition. The chance of inheriting the condition will be greatly reduced one year after recovery. Additionally, it is important to exercise regularly, maintain a good lifestyle, drink plenty of water, eat foods rich in vitamin A, protect the skin from cold and keep it moisturized, and avoid excessive dryness of the skin, which all help to alleviate the condition. Do not use hormone and immunosuppressant medications during treatment because these drugs have significant side effects and will damage the liver.
