Abstract
Objective: To investigate and analyze the clinical efficacy of Huanglian ointment in the treatment of chronic eczema. Methods: 114 cases of chronic eczema patients admitted to the Department of Dermatology of our hospital from January 2023 to January 2024 were selected as the study subjects. They were divided into a study group (n = 57) and a reference group (n = 57) using the double-blind method. The study group was treated with dialyzed Huanglian ointment, while the reference group was treated with conventional treatment. Symptom scores, inflammatory levels, treatment effects, and immune indexes of the two groups were similar before treatment. Results: After treatment, the symptom scores of the study group were significantly lower than those in the reference group (P < 0.05). Besides, the interleukin-2 (IL-2), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interferon-γ (IFN-γ), and other inflammatory indicators of the study group were significantly better than those of the reference group (P < 0.05). The total efficacy of treatment in the study group was significantly higher than that in the reference group (P < 0.05). Furthermore, after treatment, the immunity indexes such as CD3+, CD4+, and CD8+ of the study group were significantly better than those of the reference group, (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Huanglian ointment is extremely effective for treating chronic eczema so this treatment program should be popularized
