Tx for swelling, itch, pain & redness at interferon injection sites?

[Guest guest]

Hi Sean, & All,

I have not treated this, but I would classify it in WM as local pruritic

inflammation (redness, swelling, heat & pain (rubor, turgor, calor, dolor) =

classical signs of inflammation), and in TCM as Wind Heat.

 

Tx that I might try would include:

 

(a) Circling the Dragon

(b) WInd Heat Pts (GB20, LI04, LI11, LV03, LU10)

© Antiallergic/Antiinflammatory Pts - similar + SP10

 

Local of calamine lotion or a paste of bread-soda (baking soda), followed up

by local vinegar if that did not work.

 

Best regards,
