How effective is the regenerative treatment for lichenified skin?
Epidermal hardening: Lichenification occurs within one minute of washing the face, causing the skin along the jawline, behind the ears, and on the cheeks to harden into a thick, leathery consistency.
Itching and wounds: Unconscious scratching during sleep caused fine discharge and red scabs to form around the eyebrows and on the chin.
Moisturizer adverse reaction: Even non-irritating pure Vaseline or ceramide cream causes a stuffy feeling and a burning sensation, as if the skin cannot breathe due to the oil film.
I would like to minimize the use of ointments due to concerns about steroid resistance and rebound effects. I would like to know if professional atopic barrier repair programs are available, such as rapid soothing treatments like Plasone/Cryo to regenerate the thinned barrier in late autumn without irritation, the application of medical device (MD) wound dressings to restore the skin's protective barrier, or Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy.
