The old saying, 'a stitch in time saves nine' is particularly true in the management of eczema. Early diagnosis and the recognition of an underlying cause can mean that more simple measures, such as moisturizers, may be sufficient to keep eczema under control, while the identification of an allergic stimulus can forestall further problems. Equally, being aware of what action to take when a course of treatment is ineffective, and having the ability to teach parents and families to realize when they need extra help, may allow changes to be made that will restore control of the condition more quickly. An understanding and empathetic ear may make all the difference when a patient is having to come to terms with eczema. This article discusses the aetiology and symptoms of different types of eczema, and summarises the range of available options for the management of this often disruptive condition.
俗话说，“一针及时省九针”，这在湿疹的治疗中尤为正确。早期诊断和识别潜在病因可能意味着更简单的措施，如保湿剂，可能足以控制湿疹，而识别过敏刺激可以预防进一步的问题。同样，当一个疗程的治疗无效时知道采取什么行动，并有能力教导父母和家人意识到他们何时需要额外帮助，可能会做出改变，从而更快地恢复对病情的控制。当患者不得不接受湿疹时，理解和同情的倾听可能会带来很大的不同。本文讨论了不同类型湿疹的病因和症状，并总结了针对这种经常造成困扰的病症的一系列可用治疗选择。
