Causes and treatment of itchy red spots on the skin

Itchy red spots on the skin may be caused by an allergic reaction or by diseases such as eczema. Therefore, if we want to treat itchy red spots on the skin, we should know the cause of the disease before we can choose the medicine. Generally, small red spots and itchiness on the skin are caused by allergic reactions. We should stay away from allergens and get an injection to treat the allergy.

In the treatment of skin pruritus, Western medicine mainly focuses on calming the itching. If your skin is already dry and itchy, remember not to scratch the affected area, as this will only make the itching worse and cause the area to expand. Maybe everyone has had this experience: sometimes when you suddenly enter a warm room from the cold outdoors, or when you take off your thick coat and lie down in bed before going to bed at night, your skin will suddenly feel itchy under the stimulation of cold and heat, and you can't help scratching it, but the more you scratch, the more itchy it becomes, and the more you scratch, the more severe the itching becomes, creating a vicious cycle.

If the itching is not very severe, try to endure it and don't scratch it casually. You can use some moisturizing products on the dry and itchy areas. If the itching is severe, you can also apply some anti-itching ointments/lotions with cooling ingredients such as mint (such as calamine lotion, cyproheptadine cream, triamcinolone urea ointment, etc.) to relieve the symptoms and gradually return the skin to normal; or you can use a towel soaked in cold water for local cold compresses to relieve the symptoms of itchy skin.

Symptoms commonly caused by parasitic infections include redness of the skin, flaky red spots, red bumps, flaky red rashes, etc. Parasitic infections are usually highly contagious. You can observe whether your family members or close friends have such symptoms. If so, the possibility is relatively high.

It may be eczema dermatitis. Chinese medicine believes that it is caused by rheumatism, heat and toxins in the body, blood deficiency, wind dryness, and poor menstrual flow, which lead to rheumatism in the skin. Mental factors, gastrointestinal dysfunction, secretory dysfunction, and local irritation can all induce this disease. Treatment needs to be both internal and external. The treatment of eczema is mainly anti-allergic. You can take oral ebastine, cetirizine and other antipruritic drugs. For external use of hormone ointments, Eucerin combined with allantoin has a good effect. As for dry skin itching all over the body, you can use some moisturizing cosmetics instead of external ointments. It is recommended to take some Chinese medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that it is mainly due to rheumatism in the skin, and it mainly focuses on dispelling wind and dampness. The most commonly used decoction is Siwu Xiaofeng Yin.

If there are small red spots on the skin that are very itchy, it is relatively simple to treat it if we want to. However, we need to be careful not to scratch the itchy areas with our hands to avoid skin cracking. Generally speaking, in our daily life, we just need to use the right medicine to treat small red spots on the skin.
