My name is Xiao A, and I am an ordinary girl.
I went to college late this summer and had three roommates. In winter, their skin was constantly desquamating. I always asked them to apply more skin cream and share their skin care experiences with them, but they all shook their heads and sighed and told me their stories:
I am little B, I am a psoriasis patient
I found myself with psoriasis in my third year of high school. At first, it was just a small red hill the size of mung beans. Later, it became bigger and bigger. The surface peeled off layer by layer and looked like a layer of frost. At the worst, many parts of my body were covered with dark red patches that bulged one by one. I got up in the morning to shake the quilt and the dandruff flew like snow.
After going to the hospital, I didn’t know that this is what is commonly known as psoriasis, which is called psoriasis. It is not caused by what’s tinea at all, but the epidermal keratinocytes will never develop mature, so they always fall off layer by layer.
I asked the doctor if it was caused by the high pressure in Senior Three, and the doctor said it was not. Mental stress can be an inducement, but psoriasis is more related to heredity and immunity.
Skin cream alone won’t work. I have been treated for a period of time, Take medicine, wipe medicine, shine light… but the doctor said that the disease usually has to be treated for half a year, I had no patience. So I believed in a mysterious can of tea brought by menstruation from my hometown. At first, it was really good to eat it, and the rash was relieved immediately. However, after eating it, I didn’t get the tea for a period of time. During this period of time, I relapsed all over my body. When I went to the hospital for reexamination, the doctor said that many folk earthworks actually contained glucocorticoid, which was immediately effective after eating it. After a long time, many complications occurred, and it would rebound after stopping using it.
Regular therapy is not immortal, but regular therapy is the most reliable method verified clinically.
So I restarted my life of reporting to the hospital once a month. Fortunately, my illness is much better now than it was a few months ago. I will no longer believe what’s secret recipe and folk prescription. I believe that although the course of psoriasis is long, as long as I cooperate with the doctor, I will always control the illness.
My name is Xiao C and I am a ichthyosis patient.
Unlike little B, I started to desquamate when I was less than 3 years old. Every time it started from the limbs-the outside of the arm and the front of the leg-the skin surface dried into diamond-shaped cracks. Then desquamation. In the winter when I was 3 or 4 years old, my illness reached its peak, even my scalp and back were covered with scales. After that, although it rarely developed to the whole body, my skin was still not good and I was often allergic.
Doctors say this is ichthyosis, an autosomal dominant disease.
No wonder, if you think about it carefully, several people in my family still have this problem. The doctor also said that ichthyosis patients are prone to skin allergy, and some people are accompanied by allergies to other systems, such as asthma.
The disease is caused by genes. At present, there is no treatment method at the gene level. Long-term moisturizing care is required.
So stop talking to me about cream, I’ve been wearing vitamin E urea cream for more than ten years, It’s almost 24 hours a day. It’s winter, The climate is dry and still a little chapped after smearing, but it is much better than when I was a child. The doctor said that the disease will be better when sebum secretion is strong in adulthood. Now science is developing so fast that scientists may have developed gene therapy for ichthyosis when I am old and sebaceous gland secretion decreases again.
My name is Little D, and I am a seborrheic dermatitis patient.
It is different from small B and small C, Their skin was dry and desquamated, My skin is greasy and desquamate, The same is true of hair. At first, on the hair follicles around the hairline, I thought it was acne, Youth, but then the scope gradually expanded, I found that the situation seems not so simple: other people’s acne on the face, just greasy acne, mine even have in the scalp, also off greasy scales. In fact, summer oil more off more, but winter shampoo less look more dandruff, so now you are found.
Doctors said this is called seborrheic dermatitis. Due to excessive sebum secretion, the flora on the skin surface is out of balance, and a large number of proliferating bad bacteria decompose free fatty acids to stimulate the skin and cause inflammation.
The doctor also specially checked my hormone level to prevent my sebum secretion from abnormal sex hormone level, but fortunately I am not. I probably just like drinking too much.
I really like drinking, every time I say only a little, finally I unconsciously drink too much. After the diagnosis, I was still unconvinced. When the wine bug was terrible, I secretly got drunk several times. As a result, I really felt the disease deteriorated obviously the next day every time.
Later, I did not dare to drink, nor did I dare to eat high-sugar and high-fat foods. I ate a lot of vegetables every day to fill myself. I also use skin cream, but the most effective thing is to maintain this kind of nun life.
No way, I don’t want to develop into rosacea one day, and I have to go to the hospital to do laser.
Small A Voice
Once upon a time, I only felt that my skin was not white enough and thin enough. I gave some oil in summer and took off some dandruff in winter. It turned out that there were still some people whose skin was sick and was taking off dandruff all the time. I didn’t understand their pain, and I still gave directions and thought I knew it very well.
I dare not think that if I recommend what’s “unique skin care recipe”, it will actually suit me and not suit them, but it will hurt them in the end. Fortunately, they all went to the hospital.
I will never be a good teacher again.
Do you have such patients around you? Have you been a good teacher or have you sincerely advised them to see a doctor?
