The same is psoriasis, and the way women and men are treated and cared for is different. It has been found that some methods are effective in men and ineffective in women, and may even be aggravated. In order to take care of female patients, I have specially summarized 4 precautions, all of which are dry goods.
First. Be careful when applying ointment
Female patients have thinner stratum corneum and are more sensitive to drugs, so apply a layer of moisturizer before applying ointment to relieve the irritation of the ointment. If the lesions are hypertrophied, you can apply ointment and wrap plastic wrap to prevent the recovery of the drug and increase the amount of penetration.
Second. Hormonal drugs should be used with caution
Glucocorticoid creams may cause side effects such as abnormal fat metabolism, weight gain, pigmented spots on the skin, irregular menstruation, and for pregnant women, may also affect the development of the baby. Glucocorticoid ointments mainly include mometasone furoate cream, halomethane cream, dexamethasone cream, be sure to consult a doctor before using these types of ointments.
Third. Be well-dressed
Wear clothes to choose soft fabrics, you can try to avoid the friction of clothes on the skin lesions. You can choose cotton, silk, knitted, polyester and other fabrics. Some female patients also have psoriasis in the intimate parts, so be sure to maintain hygiene and change underwear every day.
Fourth. Be careful with hair coloring and beauty
Do not color your hair during the treatment, and try to wear as little makeup as possible, because cosmetics and hair dyes contain phenolic chemicals, which can irritate skin lesions and aggravate the condition. In addition, some permanent shampoos contain p-phenylenediamine, which can damage the scalp and aggravate the symptoms of scaling and itching, remember to avoid it.
