Many people have skin problems, often choose to ignore it, search on the Internet, and find that some "miracle medicines" will be recommended on the Internet, not only claiming low prices, but more importantly, the medicine is eliminated, and everyone who sees it is excited. But in fact, there is no "miracle drug" in dermatology!
1. Exaggerated miracle medicine - calamine
Some people say that calamine is an "anti-itching artifact" only known to dermatologists, and it is believed that it can treat a variety of common diseases, such as mosquito bites, hives, prickly heat, chickenpox, sunburn, and sweat soaking.
But in fact, although calamine has a relatively mild effect, it usually only relieves discomfort symptoms such as itching to a certain extent. It does not particularly help to control skin inflammation and skin infections, and does not treat the disease itself. In addition, calamine lotion may cause and aggravate dry skin, which can lead to dryness-related itching.
2. Erythromycin, which is "exaggerated".
Some people regard erythromycin as a new generation of "Internet celebrity miracle medicine", especially emphasizing that it is only 2 yuan a piece, cheap and easy to use, whether it is a mosquito bite, acne, rotten corners of the mouth, or cracked feet, it is recommended that you wipe a touch of erythromycin. What's even more outrageous is that it will also let you use it as a lipstick.
But in reality, erythromycin is mainly used to treat bacterial infections such as bacterial folliculitis occasionally, for a short period of time. Quite a few people, such as those with acne (acne), have developed resistance to erythromycin in their skin flora. Sometimes even erythromycin is not very effective, and erythromycin is no longer a routine medication for acne.
3. Exaggerated miracle medicine - Vaseline
Vaseline also has a place on the altar, and some people even stand for it - "I have long told you that Vaseline is a panacea".
But in fact, Vaseline is mainly for sealing and moisturizing, and can be used in cases of dry skin, dry lips, skin abrasions, etc. While it is indeed safe, it has no medicinal effect and should never be used as a cure.
4. Zinc oxide, which is "exaggerated".
Zinc oxide - another dermatological "panacea", is called by some people as "the first magic weapon of dermatology", "a good helper for dermatologists", used to remove blackheads, exfoliate, whiten and conceal, and prevent infection......
But in fact, zinc oxide is mainly used in a few classic scenes, such as children's red buttocks and neck rash protection. It is only an auxiliary nursing effect, if the lesion is obvious, protection alone is generally not enough, and drugs are also needed.
5. Exaggerated miracle medicine - antibacterial and anti-itch cream
Such products are often advertised as natural plant-based formulas, herbal formulas, and skin antibacterial creams with no added hormones. In the propaganda of some businesses, these products can make patients say goodbye to skin problems, and even "the treasure of tens of millions of skin disease patients". Searching for "antibacterial cream" on the e-commerce platform, you can find countless products, but almost all of them are elimination products, not real ointments.
But in reality, products like antibacterial and antipruritic creams are as far away as they are, and they are not worth the risk. They are often exposed to problems, such as illegal addition of hormones, false claims of efficacy, and promotion and application of drugs.
Again, a reminder to everyone! There is no miracle medicine in dermatology, don't be superstitious about any kind of "miracle drug"! In modern medicine, it is difficult to find a "miracle drug" in the true sense, and there is no medicine that can work wonders for many diseases at the same time and is absolutely safe.
For common skin problems, such as acne, eczema, athlete's foot, and hair loss, doctors often prescribe medications or recommend over-the-counter medications for targeted treatment. When prescribing medication, the doctor will evaluate the condition, look at the extent of the lesion, the severity and related symptoms, make a comprehensive assessment, and then carry out individualized treatment. Therefore, it is necessary to consult a doctor for advice before taking medication.
