Don’t think that stress is only for adults. In fact, children and young people with eczema can also be very troubled. Although they face less pressure in life and work, the views and influence of their peers are great. A parent once took an 8-year-old boy to see a doctor. The boy’s eczema had caused the skin to become red, itchy, peeling, and even damaged, causing bleeding and water. I saw that he was wearing a cold shirt and school uniform jacket on a hot day, so I asked him if he was afraid of the cold. Unexpectedly, he replied: “No, I’m so hot that my whole back is covered with sweat, but I’m afraid that the rotten skin will scare my classmates, and I’m also afraid that strangers on the street will look at my skin.” I said, “Your body is in war. The skin will be broken, and it will slowly return to smoothness after winning the battle. Do you have a favorite superhero?” The little boy’s eyes glowed: “Dinosaurs.” Do you think they are ugly?” He firmly replied: “No.” I said: “So you don’t have to feel bad about yourself. To win the battle against eczema, the clothes should not be too thick and the clothes should be as loose as possible. Let the sweater touch the skin. Can you cooperate with me, drinking bitter tea and not wearing cold shirts?” He pulled his mother and acted like a baby: “If I cooperate, can I buy a dinosaur model after seeing Chinese medicine?” The boy’s mother said: “As long as If your eczema can be cured, I will take off the moon if you want it. If you successfully take the medicine for a week, I will reward you with the latest and largest model.”
The little boy’s physique is hot and humid. After taking the traditional Chinese medicine of clearing away heat and promoting dampness, cooling blood and detoxifying, the symptoms of water seepage, itching and inflammation of the skin were reduced. After 5 months of treatment, the wounds all over the body were basically healed.
