How to treat keratosis pilaris? Diet is key

Follicular dermoidosis is a skin disease that occurs with seasonal changes. If you want to cure it completely, diet is the key. Timely supplementation of vitamin A can relieve dry skin; also pay attention to sun protection.

Hair follicle death is a term in Western medicine, while Chinese medicine often calls it "skin necrosis". It often appears as a symptom in a group of "Qi stagnation and blood stasis" syndromes, and most of them are comprehensive physical problems. If the treatment can be slowed down by promoting qi, activating blood circulation and removing blood stasis, complete treatment will take quite some time.

First of all, improve your diet. Vitamin A can relieve dry skin. However, long-term use of vitamin A in capsules or other preparations can have certain side effects on the body. Then, we can supplement vitamin A through our daily diet. Carrots are the most effective vegetable for supplementing vitamin A.

How to eat carrots in the most nutritious and healthiest way? 1. Honey carrot juice. Wash and dice the carrots, squeeze out the juice, add honey, and drink it directly. 2. Stir-fry carrots. Wash and slice the carrots, put them into a pan with heated oil. Simply stir-fry and then serve. It should be noted that the frying time should not be too long. When eating carrots, be careful not to boil or steam them, as this will destroy most of the nutrients in the carrots.

Secondly, pay attention to sun protection and moisturizing. In daily life, try not to expose your skin to the scorching sun. Remember to drink plenty of water and replenish water.

Follicular necrosis is mainly caused by excessive keratinization of hair follicles due to lack of retinoic acid. The treatment depends on the severity of the condition. If the symptoms are relatively mild, you can start by applying only retinoic acid ointment (trade name: Divi Cream) externally. If the condition is more serious, oral medication is required. It is best to go to the hospital to see a regular dermatologist for treatment.
