Dear, this is my personal process of treating hormone-dependent dermatitis. I hope it will be helpful to you. I wish you a speedy recovery! Personal Record of Treating Hormone-Dependent Dermatitis Cause: I am female. He is a person who is extremely dull and rarely sensitive, both in his inner thoughts and his outer senses. I was once lucky enough to have never suffered from skin acne, allergies, etc. since I was a child. This was also the case during adolescence, which is what beauty-loving men and women are most afraid of going through. No matter how much chili pepper you eat or how you get angry, the fever can be released through other channels, never through the skin. If I could describe my skin type in one word, it would be "firm." However, this rule that I took for granted was ruthlessly broken at the beginning of my 36th birthday. I am a training teacher and freelance. On March 4, 2010, I was invited by a company in Wenzhou to go for training. The unfortunate encounter started on the second day after arriving in Wenzhou. Looking back now, I realize that because I had no control over chili peppers since I was a child, and I was particularly obsessed with spicy hot pot during that time, I already had a serious damp-heat constitution. Coupled with the humid climate in Wenzhou, traffic jams, and catching a flight, coupled with the intense work and changes in training plans, early the next morning I discovered a faint, small red rash around my mouth that was not easily noticeable to outsiders. That kind of allergy is considered relatively mild, especially compared to my state of being dependent on perioral hormones for nearly a year. It pales in comparison. Later I learned that the allergy was caused by spleen deficiency. If I adjusted my diet appropriately and paid attention to rest, it could have been cured without treatment. Maybe fate has already been determined. Just when I felt that life was worry-free and everything was going smoothly, I was once again slapped hard by this unpredictable world. Nightmare 2010 was an unprecedentedly busy year since I started working as a freelancer. From March to July, I went to Yunnan, Wuhan, Guangzhou, Xiamen, Shandong, Tibet and other places, and the training schedule in Beijing and surrounding areas was almost full. The skin around my mouth has never been treated effectively. For emergencies, I just grab a tube of "Furasol" and apply it on, mainly to alleviate the embarrassment and unbearability of facing students during training. Until now, I dare not recall those nightmare days. Here, I would like to first introduce what hormone-dependent dermatitis is, so as to "clear up the illiteracy" for friends who don't know the situation. The main purpose is to let everyone know the dangers of hormone ointments and to keep everyone away from hormones. The so-called "hormone-dependent dermatitis" is also called corticosteroid-dependent dermatitis. It is dermatitis caused by long-term repeated inappropriate use of external hormones. If external hormones are used for a long time (usually 5-7 consecutive days) in the same area, acne-like dermatitis will occur on the skin. Especially after exposure to cold or heat stimulation, the skin will become red, itchy, and swollen; the sensitivity will increase. After the skin becomes dependent, once the hormone products are stopped within 1-5 days, in mild cases, desquamation, sensitivity, redness, swelling, itching, pain, etc. will occur; in severe cases, the skin at the medication site will be fragile and tight, and the skin will develop significant erythema and pigmentation. Symptoms such as calmness, atrophy, atrophic striae, telangiectasia, papules, cracks, scaling, dryness and scaling, small abscesses, burning sensation, tenderness, itching and even yellow discharge, tension, and redness when exposed to heat, etc. Patients who do not know the truth at the time often have to choose to continue to use hormones, thereby becoming more dependent on hormones. At the end of use, hormones can be absorbed through the skin and enter the blood circulation, causing iatrogenic diabetes, hypertension, osteoporosis, liver disease, Kidney damage, obesity, menstrual disorders, aggravation of existing cardiovascular diseases and other diseases. Hormone-dependent dermatitis abbreviation: irritation. People suffering from this type of disease are generally divided into two categories: the first category is those who first suffered from skin diseases due to allergies and other symptoms, and then used hormone ointments after being recommended by hospital doctors or friends. Another type is caused by today's young people pursuing fashion, comparing their appearance and skin quality, and buying cosmetics containing hormones without knowing it. Because most people know little about the side effects of hormone ointments, in the past two years, the number of people suffering from "irritation" has soared at a rapid rate, and the degree and multiple of the increase are no less than the domestic real estate market. During those hellish days, Skin Relaxation was my face and my mouth. Going out without it is like meeting someone without your face and mouth. Because the characteristic of hormone ointments is that they take effect almost immediately after use, and they return to their original shape immediately after use, and the symptoms become worse each time. Perhaps, this is the temptation and charm of this type of ointment. Soon, under the so-called charm and temptation of "Skin Relaxation", my perioral area changed from a light red rash to a larger and uneven red and purple state, just like the famous song of Xiao Shenyang - - "The flowers of Shandandan are blooming red and gorgeous": The flowers of Shandandan are blooming... (20 words are omitted here). If you stop using the ointment, the skin in the affected area will have a more obvious burning sensation and unbearable itching. Sometimes they look like pimples, and sometimes they look like pimples with small white tips. This one is just a little bit smaller, and that one grows out again, one after another, competing for beauty. In this way, defeated by fate, I used up 4 tubes of "Furasol" intermittently and in desperation. Yes, I am completely enslaved by it, just like the loyal slave in the movie "The Promise". It was an involuntary, undignified life experience. The intense and busy work of seeing a doctor has come to an end, and I can finally take some time to go to the hospital to see the unknown mouth that I always run to the living room mirror to look at the first thing I do every morning. At the end of August after using "Focinolone" for more than 5 months, I went to the hospital, eager to get professional treatment.

First, I registered Dr. Wang Xiaolian's number at Tongrentang in Chongwenmen. There are 50 regular numbers every day. I arrived one second later than the last person, so I spent an extra 100 yuan to register the 51st special number. In order to make this day of medical treatment more perfect, I took advantage of the waiting time to go to Puren Hospital, a hundred steps away, to see a Western doctor. Registration in Puren is fast and cheap. The doctor is quite young, in his early 30s. In order to see a doctor this time, I deliberately did not use "Focinolone" for 3 days in advance, so that the Shandan Dan around the mouth would bloom more vividly. After I timidly sat on the chair and explained my purpose, the doctor looked serious and responded to me in a "gentle" way: "You have dermatitis! Hormone-dependent dermatitis! Who told you to use Skin Relaxation!" Do you know that they are all hormones? You dare to apply anything on your face. These are powerful hormone ointments! You don’t go to the hospital and you apply 4 tubes! It's big enough!" From the way the doctor started to slap me after seeing the affected area, we can tell that she is a responsible person. Because I am an irrelevant person, and for her to be angry with an irrelevant person, she knows that she wishes me well and is really worried. "Then what was the problem before I applied 'Face Relaxation'?" I asked weakly like a criminal. "It used to be allergies, but now it's dermatitis, hormone-dependent dermatitis." Apparently, this doctor had encountered many similar patients before. "Can it still be cured? When will it be cured?" What I want to know most right now is when I can see people without "Skin Relaxation". "It can be cured, but it's very slow." I was at my wits' end, like a drowning child. As soon as my head came up from the water, I was hit head-on with a big stick, and the day of salvation became far away again. While talking, the doctor prescribed medicine for me: Lankefenin, Tacrolimus, and Cetirizine Hydrochloride Tablets, an oral Western medicine for allergies. After buying all the medicine, I hurried back to Tongrentang. Traditional Chinese medicine doctors are not as emotional as Western medicine doctors, maybe because they are rational. Dr. Wang wore a mask and gave me a kind and professional smile. After asking about the situation, he took my pulse and then prescribed a Chinese medicine prescription to be taken twice a day for 7 days. At the same time, a Western medicine - tacrolimus was recommended to me. It is the same as the tacrolimus prescribed by Western medicine doctors. Treatment Since I can remember, I have never used so many types, shapes, styles and usages of medicine. Lankefening is applied as a wet compress, tacrolimus is applied, Chinese medicine is drunk, and Western medicine for allergies is taken orally. As for the "skin care" that I never want to mention again, I throw it away immediately, quickly and immediately. September 2010 is my hormone dependent dermatitis treatment month. I shut myself up at home every day and apply Lankefenin on the affected area with medical gauze 2-3 times for 15 minutes each time; then apply a thin layer of tacrolimus (0.1%); drink Chinese medicine once each after breakfast and dinner ;Take an anti-allergic cetirizine hydrochloride tablet before going to bed at night. In the first week of treatment, my home was filled with the strong smell of traditional Chinese medicine 24/7. The hard work paid off. After a week, my skin actually improved a lot. My skin almost returned to the state when the disease first occurred, with only a faint red color and a few red spots. In that situation, the hard work paid off and I was very satisfied. There was a burst of joy in my heart. However, strike while the iron is hot. Because I didn’t know which medicine worked, I decided to try the medicine on myself. I used myself as a living experiment, and cut out bit by bit until I completely lost my dependence on the medicine. The 7 sets of Chinese medicine have been consumed and they will be automatically cancelled. I continued to take one anti-allergy pill every night for another week, and I stopped buying new ones. The skin is neither good nor bad. Because of the hot weather, tacrolimus was a little greasy when applied to the mouth, so I decided to cancel it in the third week and only use Lankefenin. In the raging summer, it is indeed very comfortable to use Lankefenin wet compress 2-3 times a day, especially the effect just after the application. When you touch it with your hands, the skin is almost flat. Moreover, Lankefenin is the mildest and has no side effects among several drugs. According to the instructions, even pregnant women can use it. However, the consumption of Lankefenin is too great. Even if it is not the whole face, only the area around the mouth, a bottle of 30ml, 75 yuan of Lankefenin can only be used for 7 days at most. Just like that, I insisted on buying 3 more bottles. Finally, I spent the tangled September in hesitation and loneliness. The skin is not getting better. In early October, I had a trip to Guangzhou. Because I am on a business trip and it is inconvenient to use wet compresses, I plan to stop using Lankefenin a few days in advance to see if my mouth can get rid of dependence on drugs. As a result, the nightmare happened again. On the third day after discontinuing Lankefenin, my skin returned to its pre-treatment state again. Later I learned that this was the legendary rebound phenomenon after hormones were discontinued. I'm about to go on a business trip, and I happen to be using Lankefening to clean my hair. In desperation, I thought of tacrolimus. Now it is the only "bullet" left. When I saw a doctor, the doctors of Chinese and Western medicine recommended Tacrolimus to me at the same time. They should have their reasons. Besides, the weather is getting cooler, so just be more oily. In this way, I embarked on the journey anxiously with the attitude of giving it a try. On the first and second days after applying tacrolimus, there was almost no change in the skin of the affected area, and it was still as bright as a flower. The miracle that symbolized a historic milestone occurred on the morning of the third day. The color around the mouth actually became lighter, and the skin felt less tight and uncomfortable, as if I was continuously using Lankefenin. status. I was secretly happy. For people who are on a business trip, applying it is much more convenient than applying it wetly. I'll put it on first and wait until I get back from Guangzhou. Good times don't last long.

When I returned to Beijing and tried to stop taking tacrolimus, the hormone-dependent dermatitis broke out again on the third day. The severity is almost the same as after discontinuing Lankefenin, and it is no less severe than the state when "Focinolin" was just discontinued. I was almost desperate. Even the medicines recommended by two doctors at the same time couldn't cure me. I kept getting better and worse without saying hello. Who else could I rely on? However, what worries me the most is not this, but the fear of seeing my parents who don’t understand the real situation every time I come home. And I'm afraid of hearing anything they say about my skin... Dad: "It's not healed yet! Wasn't it better last time? Why is it worse this time?" Mom: " Generally speaking, if you have inflammation in your mouth, it’s a spleen problem. I’ll take you to see a Chinese medicine doctor later.” Dad: “It’s been half a year. When will it be over?” Mom: “You must not eat chili peppers at this time! "Dad: "I can't sleep every night because I worry about you." Mom: "Have you gone to the hospital? You need to take Chinese medicine to treat it."... During that time, I had already checked on the Internet. There are many posts and comments from "hormone-dependent dermatitis forum", "hormone-dependent dermatitis bar" and "hormone-dependent dermatitis QQ group". Almost all of these posts come from the personal experiences and stories of patients. Of course, there are also many posts with the purpose of promoting drugs and making high profits from patients. You know, in order to cure irritated skin, patients, including myself, are willing to spend any amount of money to get their skin back to its original appearance. Everyone thought of all the possible cure methods, including using Lancofenin, Tacrolimus, Avène, Bute, Qichen, applying the four major methods on the face, cold spray, bare face, etc. One of the most commonly used methods is the "naked face," which involves using nothing at all, including cosmetics and ointments. At the same time, try not to wash your face or touch your skin with water. The human body has its own medicine, and it relies entirely on the body's own healing ability to slowly recover. At the same time, pay attention to diet and rest, and supplement with more vitamins. So, in desperation, I chose to go bare-faced. Every day when the cat is at home, he doesn’t want anyone to see the sunny look on his mouth. At the same time, pay attention to diet and rest, and supplement with more vitamins. I have been a vegetarian for 6 years, so apart from the difficulty of not eating chili peppers, there are no dietary taboos on beef, mutton, seafood, etc. I need to write two more words here. In fact, animals, like humans, have the instinct to be greedy for life, and they also have the right to survive. Kind-hearted people should not bully the weak, prey on the strong, and brutally kill animals that are unable to fight back. At the same time, they should drink blood and eat meat just to satisfy their appetites. After experiencing the pain of "skin irritation", you can better understand the feeling of helplessness every day, which is no different from the helplessness that animals feel before being slaughtered. Detoxification On days when my face is bare, if there is a training, I will apply tacrolimus 3 days in advance, and then put on a layer of foundation on the day of training to ensure that the students’ attention is maximized on the training content, not my mouth and on the skin. My training cycle is not very regular, generally speaking, I have an average of 1-2 classes per week. I use tacrolimus when there is class, and I go bare-faced when there is no class. That is to say, on average, tacrolimus is used 2-3 days every 1-2 weeks, 2-3 times a day. Skin naturally waxes and wanes. Under my careful observation, I discovered a small pattern. When the face is bare, acne-like red bumps will appear on the affected area. After taking tacrolimus, the skin will become hot and itchy, so that you will unconsciously want to scratch it with your hands. At the same time, there will be inflammation of the fluid oozing out, and then scabs and peeling. When you expose your face again, a new round of red bumps will appear on the affected area. Because my hands are particularly weak, I can never tolerate any bumps on the surface of the skin, especially when the affected area is scabbed or peeled. When I have nothing to do, my hands seem to be driven by some kind of force. The same thing happened, he kept picking at it and it was difficult to control. This is really not a good habit, so I was smart and came up with a good idea at the end of the treatment, which was to cut my nails to be as protruding as Ge You, so that I could nip the desire to pick in the cradle. What a tragedy it would be if a mature person could not control his bad behavior! A month has passed like this. At the end of November, I discovered that the large bumps around my mouth had broken off and gradually turned into several small ones, and the redness and swelling of the skin also improved. Later I summarized this experience. When using tacrolimus, the drug can play a role in promoting the skin's self-healing (bare face), and at the same time, it can quickly eliminate toxins. If you don't pick it with your hands, the scabbed area will heal automatically in up to 7 days after running water, otherwise it will leave a little black mark. In this way, the rebound symptoms around my mouth became less and less each time, and the detoxification effect became more and more obvious each time. By the end of December, the wound surface had turned from a few small red patches to multiple red spots. After discovering the efficacy of tacrolimus, I gradually gained confidence. I feel that if I don’t bare my face, use tacrolimus 3 days a week and let nature take its course for the remaining 4 days, I may be able to recover faster. If you don’t bare your face, what facial oil should you use? During New Year’s Day, I saw some posts online about a brand called Qichen. Traditional Chinese medicine, relatively mild, claims to be able to treat hormone-dependent dermatitis. So I bought a small set recommended by my boss online: original solution, essence and multi-effect cream, priced at 249 yuan per piece. The net content of each tube is only 20g and can be used for about 20 days. The price is really not cheap. The boss answered my questions very patiently, and finally comforted me by saying that irritated skin can be cured with Qichen, but the cycle is relatively long, and it takes at least 3 months to see the effect, and it can take up to 2 years.

I did a little calculation and found that if the small set of 249 yuan can be used for 20 days, even if the effect can be seen in 3 months, I will have to buy at least 5 sets. In this way, 249 multiplied by 5 is 1,245 yuan, which is just the cost of seeing the effect. Fortunately, I only use it on the perioral area, and the use of tacrolimus has already had some effects, so I only bought one set and can use it flexibly according to the situation. I don’t expect that Qichen can cure skin irritation. I just use it as a facial cleanser and facial oil when I don’t use tacrolimus. There will be a cooling sensation after applying the multi-effect cream, but it is quite comfortable, at least it won’t happen anymore. My face feels extremely dry and tight when I'm naked. Another month has passed, and the skin around the mouth has basically flattened, with only two or three stubborn red bumps scattered here and there. The rest are sometimes red and sometimes black acne marks caused by poor hands. By now, I am confident that I will fully recover from my hormone-dependent dermatitis. The human body has its own great medicine. I believe that with time, acne marks can be eliminated naturally. I started searching online for tips on how to get rid of acne scars and followed them. For example, drink lemon water, apply a compressed mask with white vinegar mixed with water on your face, etc. I seemed to see that moment of victory, and the skin on the affected area was intact as before. I even heard a voice in the dark saying to me: "Your mouth will be fully recovered before March 1, 2011." I saw a ray of dawn not far ahead, and firmly believed that I would be fully recovered. Rehabilitation. Yes, positive psychological cues are always important. At that time, I could go out without wearing a mask; I could go back to my parents’ house without covering up; I could confidently teach students without wearing foundation and no longer have to worry about their attention. On my mouth. The days I once had feel so luxurious to me now. Happiness returned to me again. The painful experience of purifying for a whole year is really unbearable to look back on. In the hellish physical and mental torture, my mouth seemed to be cursed by something, and no matter how much prayer or treatment I tried, it was of no avail. In the early stages of the illness, I also used various folk remedies. For example, burn goat's beard into powder and add sesame oil to the affected area, and seek massage from a Chinese medicine practitioner to regulate the spleen and stomach. Not only do you spend money to ask for help, but you also waste the most precious time to go to the hospital for treatment. People say that one is very sick, three parts of the body are sick, and seven parts of the mind are sick. The real pain often comes from the inner fear and vulnerability after being conquered by misfortune after experiencing repeated treatments and setbacks. Only those who have experienced it personally can feel it. Fortunately, my friends around me didn’t treat me as an alien, and they were always looking for solutions for me. In the middle of the treatment, I was invited by friends in the vegetarian circle to participate in a course of fasting and detoxification treatment. This is a recently fashionable healthy diet detoxification method. Only drink vegetable juices and eat a small amount of fruits every day to regulate body functions and eliminate toxins for seven consecutive days. I devoted myself wholeheartedly to the whole process. After seven days, although the skin around my mouth did not change, my body experienced significant detoxification, and my spleen, stomach and digestive system also returned to normal. Thank you my friends! For details on the detoxification process, please see the link named "Seven-day Single Diet Diary": /diary/view.php?classid=0&uid=7691565&did=35414731&pos=3&start=0&type=lis Healing the Heart In addition, when I was in the most pain and helplessness, I also There is a silent force pushing me. That is my most beloved spiritual master and my master. I once heard Master tell such a true story. When she was young, she went to the Himalayas alone to seek spiritual enlightenment. She lived in a simple tent every day, and her belongings were very simple, including a spoon, a steel cup and two sets of clothes. The climate in the Himalayas is very extreme. One night, a violent storm suddenly hit. The wind was strong enough to blow Master's tent and all his belongings to the sky. The master is not tall and is a delicate and petite woman. Seeing this, he quickly got up and went outside the tent, using his whole body to protect the key parts of the tent to ensure that his only humble habitat would not be blown away. The wind became stronger and stronger, like a vicious devil trying to swallow up the tent and her whole body. At this time, Master suddenly had this thought in his heart: I am not afraid of you! bring it on! ! Not afraid of you! ! ! As he thought, he used all his strength to protect himself and the tent. Soon, the hurricane disappeared without a trace like a defeated surrender. Every time I think of this story, that scene flashes in my mind: a weak woman fighting bravely against the harsh environment in the storm. That framed picture has long been engraved in the depths of my memory. It surfaced when I was most vulnerable, reminding me in time: "There is a kind of power in this world called fearlessness." Yes, adversity can make the strong stronger, The weak are weaker. The best way to overcome fear is to face it. I am lucky because Master has given me great strength. He is like a bright light in the dark night. Every time I feel frustrated and helpless, he can summon up the courage to overcome the inner fear caused by the external environment. When I overcame these fears, I really discovered that there is nothing in the world, and all the gods and horses are just floating clouds. Yes, you can cross by yourself when you are awake, and you can cross by yourself when you are confused. grateful! My master! In summary, during the year of fighting hormone-dependent dermatitis, I used "Focinolone" for five full months from March to August 2010. I didn't completely stop taking hormone ointments until I came back from the hospital at the end of August. . Tacrolimus was officially started in October and he fully recovered on March 1, 2011.

The price of tacrolimus (0.1%) is 179 yuan. Although it is not cheap, it is very durable. I only bought one tube from beginning to end and applied a thin layer on the perioral area 2-3 times a day. I have been using it on and off for 5 months since October 2010, and I still have about 10% of it left. Now, I have completely stopped relying on any drugs, including tacrolimus, and can breathe free air to my heart's content. The above is only my personal record during my illness and treatment. Perhaps one of thousands of ways to cure hormone-dependent dermatitis. We apologize for any inaccuracies. Finally, please tell your relatives and friends around you that you must be careful when using ointments containing hormones. The names of these drugs, collectively referred to as "skin opiates", are: Focinolone, Piyanping, Perisone, Picang cream, Uzhuoer, and Elosone. , Lefu lotion, Enfu cream, Suoked, Suokang, Temeifu, Pikanwang, etc. Once this type of ointment is applied to the skin, especially the face, for more than 5-7 days, dependence will immediately develop. In order to let everyone understand hormone-dependent dermatitis more clearly and vividly, I used my mobile phone to record the entire process from the beginning to the end of detoxification. I offer my hue to everyone for free here, with the purpose of keeping everyone away from hormones and never having the same embarrassing experience as me.

Wish all patients with hormone-dependent dermatitis a speedy recovery! This document is only for all patients with hormone-dependent dermatitis and friends who don’t know the truth! Heyi, Beijing, February 2011
