What is neurodermatitis?
neurodermatitis is a skin condition characterized by a chronic cycle of itching, in which the patient experiences itching, scratches and irritates the skin that triggers more itching. It may be difficult to heal, because the patient's behavior is often necessary to solve the problem. Treatment of neurodermatitis can be ensured by a dermatologist who can handle skin irritation, and a psychologist who can help the patient solve behavior problems. People may complicatedly scratch or worry about the skin and scalp, causing scaly lesions to appear, and these lesions will then itch, which will lead the patient to scratch and set the cyclic problem. Other causes of neurodermatitis include situations that irritate the nerve endings, such as chemical exposure, tight clothing, prolonged pressure, etc. In these cases, irritated nerds begin to transmit a signal that itch, even if there is nothing that could cause irritation or itching.
This condition is also known as the Simplex Chronicus. The patient usually develops reddish, scaly skin, which may include hard nodes of irritated skin. If patients are sufficiently scratching, open ulcerations can create and provide opening for bacteria for entering the body. The skin is also commonly dry and scaly. Neurodermatitis may occur anywhere on the body. Weapons are a common place as well as the scalp. In people with a history of skin problems, neurodermatitis often occurs in old problem areas. For example, someone who has the history of hive development and hand irritation will develop a lesion on his hand.
The treatment of neurodermatitis involves topical use of antibiotics and steroids to control inflammation and potential infections. Skin soothing creams can also be used to calm itching so that the patient experiences less irritation. Finally, the patient must be less scratched. Some patients are capable of controllingAt scratching alone, while others use techniques such as cutting short and gloves, so they are less likely to damage their skin. The vision of a psychologist can also help a patient who wants to learn not to scratch.
In patients who have developed neurodermatitis because they feel nervous or nervous, tranquilizers may sometimes benefit. These drugs help the patient remain calm and can reduce the feelings of stress and upset that contribute to the development of scratching behavior. Ideally, patients who require sedatives should also see a psychologist to learn the techniques of stress management and solve problems that cause stress.
