What fruit is good for eczema?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Fruits with flavonoids such as Apples, Broccoli, Cherries, Blueberries, Spinach, Kale can be taken as they help in fighting inflammation. But many triggers might bring on eczema-related symptoms including what we eat and each person has different allergens. There's no one diet plan that suits all. It is better to have diet rich in fruits, vegetables and healthy fats according to your allergies.

View allI had minor skin surgery and my doctor recommended a CBP test. The results show my RBC and RDW are high while MCH, MCV, and MCHC are lower than normal. I don't have any concerning symptoms and consider myself healthy should I be worried about these results?
Your RBC and RDW being high, along with low MCH, MCV, and MCHC, might suggest some mild anemia or other factors affecting red blood cells. Since you're not experiencing symptoms, its likely not a serious concern, but it's a good idea to follow up with your haematologist to understand the context of these results.

I've got this painful cut right over my tailbone, between my butt cheeks. It's super sore, reddish, and tender to the touch. I think it might be from dry skin. How can I help it heal? It's really bugging me!
uncomfortable and challenging to heal. Given the location and your description, it's essential to take good care of the wound to promote healing and prevent infection. *Causes and Prevention* 1. *Dry skin condition*: As you mentioned, dry skin can cause cracks and cuts. Keeping the area moisturized can help prevent future occurrences. 2. *Friction and irritation*: The skin between the butt cheeks is prone to friction and irritation, which can exacerbate the condition. *Wound Care and Treatment* 1. *Keep the area clean*: Gently clean the wound with mild soap and lukewarm water. Avoid harsh or abrasive cleansers. 2. *Pat dry, don't rub*: Gently pat the area dry with a clean towel. Avoid rubbing or scrubbing, which can further irritate the skin. 3. *Apply a topical antibiotic ointment*: Over-the-counter antibiotic ointments, such as Neosporin or Bacitracin, can help prevent infection. 4. *Use a hydrocortisone cream*: For inflammation and itching, apply a hydrocortisone cream (0.5-1%) to the affected area. 5. *Moisturize*: Apply a fragrance-free, gentle moisturizer to the affected area to keep it hydrated and promote healing. 6. *Avoid further irritation*: Wear loose, breathable clothing and avoid activities that may exacerbate the condition. *When to Seek Medical Attention* 1. *Increased pain or redness*: If the pain or redness worsens, seek medical attention. 2. *Pus or discharge*: If you notice pus or discharge from the wound, seek medical attention. 3. *Fever*: If you develop a fever, seek medical attention. 4. *Difficulty healing*: If the wound doesn't show signs of healing after 7-10 days, seek medical attention.
