Therapeutic Observation on Combined Acupuncture and Medication for Recurrent Facial Dermatitis

Objective: To observe the clinical efficacy of acupoint injection plus medication in treating recurrent facial dermatitis(RFD). Methods: Fifty-eight patients with RFD were randomized into a treatment group and a control group, 29 in each. The treatment group was intervened by acupoint injection with BCG-PSN plus oral administration of Fexofenadine Hydrochloride, and the control group was by Fexofenadine Hydrochloride only. The clinical efficacies were compared between the two groups, and a follow-up study was conducted to investigate the recurrence rate. Results: The total effective rate was 96.6% in the treatment group versus 65.5% in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.01). Of the cured and improved patients in the treatment group, the recurrence rates were 10.7%, 25.0%, and 32.1% respectively 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months after treatment, versus 31.6%, 36.8%, and 73.7% in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05). Conclusion: Acupoint injection plus medication is an effective method in treating RFD.

Comparison of Three External Wet Compress Methods in The Treatment of Facial Hormone Dependent Dermatitis

Objective:To compare the therapeutic effects of three different external wet compress methods on facial hormone dependent dermatitis(FCAD),and to provide reference for clinical treatment of FCAD.Methods:From June 2016 to June 2019,160 FCAD patients in our dermatology clinic were selected and divided into three groups according to random number table:the first group was treated with Compound Cortex Phellodendri liquid coating,the second group was treated with collagen paste dressing,and the third group was treated with 0.9%sodium chloride injection solution.Apply 8 layers of gauze or cold compress directly to the skin lesions for 4 weeks in each group.Results:After 4 weeks of treatment,no adverse reactions were found.The effective rates of the first group,the second group,and the third group were 72.22%,62.26%and 41.51%,respectively.Compared with the third group,the effective rate of the first group and the second group was significantly higher,and there was statistical significance between the groups(x2=10.294,x2=4.573,P<0.05);but there was no significant statistical difference between the first group and the second group(x2=1.205,P>0.05).Conclusion:Compound Cortex Phellodendri coating is suitable for FCAD patients with severe inflammation,collagen paste dressing is suitable for FCAD patients with mild to moderate inflammatory reaction and pigmentation,and 0.9%sodium chloride injection is suitable for patients with mild facial flushing and swelling.Clinical treatment should be selected according to the patient's condition and rash characteristics.
