快速止癢及改善異位性皮膚炎食療方

快速改善異位性皮膚炎(Atopic Dermatitis)患者皮膚嚴重過敏的問題。

異位性皮膚炎患者只喝綠豆湯不吃綠豆！

異位性皮膚炎患者大多有先天體質因素，也和外在過敏因子有關，在季節變換、過度疲勞、緊張激動、心情抑鬱的時候，特別容易發作。很多異位性皮膚炎的患者，都伴隨著一年四季容易感冒的困擾，還經常有胃腸機能不佳、皮膚乾燥、體質瘦弱等問題，因為免疫力幾乎都耗在對抗皮膚的過敏反應上。

異位性皮膚炎患者應盡量避免食用牛肉、奶、蛋等過敏原的食物

Atopic Dermatitis異位性皮膚炎發作時，因為非常的癢，多半難以控制地抓搔，結果可能破皮導致發炎。這是一種很嚴重的皮膚過敏，必須避免過敏原，在我們的飲食當中，有三項是這類患者必須百分之百避開的，它們是牛肉、牛奶和雞蛋。有的患者還需禁忌其他食物，例如海鮮也是常見的過敏原之一。整體來說，建議避免吃煎炸類、加工類的食物，例如肉鬆、香腸、火腿、泡麵、起司等都應該盡量少吃。

熱薏仁湯是治療異位性皮膚炎的第一道食療。薏仁對皮膚很好，它有利濕排毒的功能，又沒有過冷的問題，熱薏仁湯可以幫助身體排除過敏原。

異位性皮膚炎患者急性發作時，服用綠豆水可快速止癢

皮膚炎患者泡綠豆水喝，可快速止癢。找一個保溫杯，將洗淨的綠豆放進杯中，然後像泡茶那樣，用熱水沖泡綠豆，直到把綠豆殼的成分泡出來，但是不可將綠豆燜到爆開、煮爛。把綠豆水濾出來當開水喝，最好不要加糖，以免作用降低，若實在不敢喝，可以加一點點冰糖。

薏仁湯和綠豆水的療效差不多，但服用後，以綠豆水發揮作用較快速，如果處於皮膚炎急性發作期，可以先服用綠豆水食療方。

註：異位性皮膚炎是一種過敏體質，皮膚會反覆出現溼疹及搔癢，檢查會有血清免疫球蛋白E(IgE)升高，或合併有氣喘或過敏性鼻炎等症狀。癢疹出現在四肢彎曲及身體皺折處，如手肘、膝蓋、脖子、鼠蹊等處。患部皮膚會變得乾厚、搔癢。而發癢的感覺會因壓力大或到晚上而加劇。

Atopic Dermatitis

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is the most common type of eczema, affecting more than 9.6 million children and about 16.5 million adults in the United States. It’s a chronic condition that can come and go for years or throughout life, and can overlap with other types of eczema.

In people with AD, for complex reasons science hasn’t fully sorted out, the immune system becomes disordered and overactive. This triggers inflammation that damages the skin barrier, leaving it dry and prone to itching and rashes that may appear purple, brown or grayish hue in darker skin tones and red in lighter skin tones.

Research shows that some people with eczema, especially atopic dermatitis, have a mutation of the gene responsible for creating filaggrin. Filaggrin is a protein that helps our bodies maintain a healthy, protective barrier on the very top layer of the skin. Without enough filaggrin to build a strong skin barrier, moisture can escape and bacteria, viruses and more can enter. This is why many people with AD have very dry and infection-prone skin.

Who gets AD and why?

Atopic dermatitis typically begins in childhood, usually in the first six months of a baby’s life. Even though it’s a common form of eczema, it’s also severe and long-lasting. When you or your child have atopic dermatitis, it may improve at times; but at other times, it may get worse. In some children, symptoms may taper off as they grow up, while other children will have atopic dermatitis flares into adulthood.

Atopic dermatitis exists with two other allergic conditions: asthma and hay fever (allergic rhinitis). People who have asthma and/or hay fever or who have family members who do, are more likely to develop AD.

What are the symptoms of AD?

Itching is the hallmark of AD, with some data showing that more than 85% of people with the condition experience this distressing symptom every day.

Sore or painful skin and poor sleep caused by itching are also common.

People with AD can get rashes anywhere on the body that can ooze, weep fluid and bleed when scratched, making skin vulnerable to infection.

Skin can become dry and discolored, and repeated scratching can cause thickening and hardening — a process called lichenification.

When AD is mild, management may include:

l avoiding known triggers

l maintaining a regular bathing and moisturizing routine to protect and strengthen the skin barrier

l getting high-quality sleep

l eating a healthy diet

l managing stress

If these methods are not enough, other treatments include:

l topical corticosteroids

l non-steroidal topicals

l biologics

With atopic dermatitis, there is often “a vicious cycle of itching, scratching and more itching that further inflames the immune system and further damages the skin barrier.”

“AD is not just a ‘skin rash,” “It can have a huge impact on quality of life — not just that of the patient, but on family and friends too.

The itch can make it difficult to concentrate, poor sleep can make people feel like zombies during the day, and treatments and precautions can take a toll on time, energy and money.”
