Understanding Dermatitis
Dermatitis refers to inflammation of the skin, which can manifest in various forms including atopic dermatitis (eczema), contact dermatitis, and seborrheic dermatitis. It causes red, itchy, and inflamed skin. In our partner clinics in Beijing and Shanghai, we use a multidisciplinary approach involving dermatologists, allergists, and immunologists to identify triggers and provide appropriate treatment.
Advanced Diagnostics in China
Accurate diagnosis is the first step toward effective treatment. Our hospitals offer:
- Patch Testing: Identifying allergens causing contact dermatitis.
- Skin Biopsy: Confirming diagnosis and ruling out other conditions.
- Allergy Testing: Blood and skin prick tests.
- Microscopic Examination: Identifying fungal or bacterial causes.
Treatment Options
Depending on the diagnosis, treatment may involve topical medications, systemic therapy, phototherapy, or an integrative approach combining Western medicine with Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) to address underlying imbalances and reduce inflammation.
- Topical Corticosteroids: Reducing inflammation and itching.
- Moisturizers: Restoring skin barrier function.
- Antihistamines: Controlling itching.
- Integrative TCM: Herbal formulas to clear heat and dampness.
