5 min Explain about the MEDICAL MANAGEMENT
medical management
• The surgical treatment of There is no known cure for some
types of dermatitis, with treatment aiming to control symptoms
by reducing inflammation and relieving itching. Contact
dermatitis is treated by avoiding what is causing it.
• Lifestyle: Bathing once or more a day is recommended,
usually for five to ten minutes in warm water. Soaps should
be avoided as they tend to strip the skin of natural oils and
lead to excessive dryness.
• Moisturizers: Low-quality evidence indicates that
moisturizing agents may reduce eczema severity and lead to
fewer flares. Products that contain dyes, perfumes, or
peanuts should not be used.
• Medications: There is little evidence for antihistamine; they
are thus not generally recommended. Sedative
antihistamines, such as diphenhydramine, may be tried in
those who are unable to sleep due to eczema. Topical
immunosuppresants like pimecrolimus and tacrolimus may
be better in the short term and appear equal to steroids after
a year of use. Their use is reasonable in those who do not
respond to or are not tolerant of steroids.
• intestinal obstruction depends on the cause of the
obstruction.
• For the most common causes of obstruction, such as hernia
and adhesions, the surgical procedure involves repairing the
hernia or dividing the adhesion to which the intestine is
attached

5 min Explain about the PREVENTION

Prevention Avoiding dry skin may be one factor in helping you prevent
dermatitis. These tips can help you minimize the drying
effects of bathing on your skin:
 Take shorter baths or showers. Limit your baths and
showers to 5 to 10 minutes. And use warm, rather than hot,
water. Bath oil also may be helpful.

 Use nonsoap cleansers or gentle soaps. Choose fragrance-

free nonsoap cleansers or mild soaps. Some soaps can dry
your skin.

 Dry yourself carefully. After bathing, brush your skin

rapidly with the palms of your hands, or gently pat your skin
dry with a soft towel.

 Moisturize your skin. While your skin is still damp, seal in

moisture with an oil or a cream. Try different products to
 find one that works for you. Ideally, the best one for you will
be safe, effective, affordable and unscented.
