Prurigo Simplex cocombid with Stasis Dermatitis 痒疹并发瘀积型皮炎
For years, Tom had wrestled with the discomfort of varicose veins, an unwelcome companion in his life, alongside the ceaseless itching and inflammation of eczema. His challenges only deepened after a life-altering lymphoma surgery at the age of 40. Post-surgery, a persistent rash emerged, a constant reminder of the trials his body had endured.
Despite years of treatment with various conventional medications—antihistamines, antibiotics, and both topical and systemic steroids—none could alleviate his incessant itching.

But in August, 2022, Tom reached his breaking point. He decided he had endured enough and sought an alternative path to healing through Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) dermatological treatments. With hope flickering in his heart, he embarked on a new journey toward recovery.
Days turned into weeks, and weeks into months. Tom faithfully adhered to his prescribed TCM herbal treatments. Gradually, the once-prominent varicose veins began to fade, their prominence diminishing like a distant memory. Simultaneously, the persistent eczema and the itching prurigo nodules that had tormented him for years started to heal, allowing his skin to regain its lost vitality.
Fourteen months passed, marked by continuous care and Tom’s unyielding resolve. In the end, he stood triumphant, his body finally liberated from the shackles of discomfort. The varicose veins had significantly improved, and the eczema, along with its relentless itchiness, had vanished, becoming a distant memory.
