Contact Dermatitis Hydrogen Peroxide

"On Contact Dermatitis and Hydrogen Peroxide"

Modern physicians often encounter contact dermatitis. This disease, skin discomfort, itching or pain, red spots and rashes coexist, and the patient is miserable. Looking at its causes, there are many complicated, and the involvement of hydrogen peroxide cannot be ignored.

Hydrogen peroxide has strong oxidative properties. It is used for daily disinfection and sterilization, but it is not used properly, or it may cause contact dermatitis. If the skin touches it directly, its strong oxidative properties can damage the surface layer of the skin and break the skin's barrier. The skin is originally the key to the outside of the human body, and the barrier is broken, evil is easy to enter, and qi and blood are reversed, so dermatitis occurs.

There was a patient who washed the wound with hydrogen peroxide. After a while, the skin around the wound was red and swollen, itchy and painful, and it was diagnosed as contact dermatitis. The reason is that the concentration of hydrogen peroxide is improper, and when washing the wound, it is not properly protected, causing the skin to suffer from it.

The treatment of this disease should be based on the cause. The first priority is to stay away from the stimulation of hydrogen peroxide, and slowly wash the skin that touches the medicine with water to remove its residual medicine. If the dermatitis is mild, a cooling agent can be applied, such as purslane and yellow cypress, to clear away heat and dampness, cool blood and relieve itching. If the disease is severe, the erythema is pervasive, the blisters are overgrown, and the exudation is not limited, the decoction must be taken internally to detoxify and remove dampness, cool blood and eliminate wind. Commonly used medicines include Poria cocos, white fresh skin, raw land, windproof, etc., which are increased or decreased with the symptoms.

Husband doctors, when they understand the nature of the drug, use it properly to prevent its harm and promote its benefits. For contact dermatitis caused by hydrogen peroxide, it is especially prudent to diagnose and treat it early, so that the patient can quickly get rid of the pain.
