The treatment for neurodermatitis, which is a skin change that occurs due to the act of scratching or continuously rubbing the skin, in order to be really effective, it is necessary for the individual to stop scratching himself.
To help the individual to stop scratching, the use of an antiallergic remedy and a corticoid ointment will help as these remedies help to resist itching and protect the skin.
Treatment of acute neurodermatitis
In the treatment for acute neurodermatitis the use of steroids based on corticosteroids is recommended. The cream should be applied in a thin layer with light local massage, 2 times a day, for a period of up to 7 days.
If within this period the cream does not take effect or if symptoms worsen, it is recommended to change to another medication, but always under the supervision of the dermatologist.
To supplement the treatment, it is recommended to drink plenty of fluids and use moisturizers immediately after bathing. During the bath, you should avoid hot water and the use of scrubs or bushings so as not to attack the skin further.
In addition, it is recommended that the individual:
- Take a bath with warm or cold water, as hot water may cause an allergic reaction;
- Drink plenty of water to keep skin well hydrated;
- Spend a good moisturizer all over the body to prevent dehydration of the skin.
The use of moisturizing creams all over the body soon after bathing helps to decrease dryness of the skin, reducing irritation. But to increase hydration of the skin, it is suggested to use a small amount of liquid soap and take at least 2 liters of water per day.
