Pruritis: 如何应对痒

1. Gentle skin care: regular use of moisturizers and occlusives, avoiding hot baths and showers, avoiding harsh soap, and use of air humidification.
2. If a primary skin lesion is present, topical corticosteroids (皮质激素) should be used. Note: 尽量用中低强度的激素。面部尤其要避免高强度激素。
3. Oral antihistamines: such as Benadryl (OTC). Be aware of sedation.
