外用藥膏依油性到水性程度:軟(油)膏(Ointment)>乳膏/乳霜(Cream)>乳液/洗液(lotion)>凝膠(Gel) = 溶液(Solution) =泡沫(Foam)= 頭皮洗劑(Shampoo)
軟(油)膏(Ointment) |
油膩但保濕,較少添加防腐劑,較不會過敏。適用於乾燥或光滑且角質厚處(手掌、腳掌) |
乳膏/乳霜(Cream) |
容易塗抹不油膩、可水洗。光滑且不要太乾或太厚處皆可使用 |
乳液/洗液(lotion)、 |
更水更清爽,用於大面積病灶、毛髮部位及皮膚容易摩擦處 |
凝膠(Gel) |
水分乾掉形成一層膜,會使皮膚乾燥、刺激,用於身體、臉部、毛髮處 |
泡沫(Foam) |
水性的泡泡,加快藥效釋放、增加滲透力,減少刺激性,可用於皮膚、頭髮。注意一開始要先擠在蓋子裡,擠在手上泡沫會因體溫而溶解… |
頭皮洗劑(Shampoo) |
就…藥用洗髮精。真要多說什麼,就是洗完後別用你家的洗髮精再洗一遍啊~ |
皮膚外用類固醇藥膏主要作用:
l 抗發炎:抑制前列腺素,減低發炎反應。治療過敏、濕疹、皮膚炎
l 免疫抑制:抑制淋巴球的活性,降低cytokine,治療過敏性/接觸性皮膚炎。所以細菌病毒感染的表皮才不建議塗類固醇,可能惡化。
l 抑制增生:抑制表皮纖維母細胞DNA合成,減少不正常增生,治療乾癬
l 血管收縮:使皮下微血管收縮,減少紅斑。
依據血管收縮能力,將外用類固醇分成7種強度,下表為北榮此時此刻院內有的品項:

l 要注意,外用類固醇不同鹽基、不同%數,可能強度就不一樣。
l 想要增強吸收,可以洗澡後再擦、或是用封閉性敷料包裹(會增強10倍)
l 超強~強效用於粗皮(手掌、腳掌)、頭皮。
n 超強效用<4 week尚不至於出現皮膚萎縮、血管浮現、長痘痘的症狀,停藥數周可恢復。
n 若像是藥物過敏起疹子,要短期(<4week)使用強效治療也是OK的
l 強~中效用於非臉部軀幹
n 強-中效使用<6-8 week少見負作用
l 中~弱效用於大面積塗抹,為減少全身吸收。或是用於皮膚皺褶、生殖器、臉等薄皮處。
n 嬰兒、老人也是薄皮,用中~弱效。真的嚴重考慮1-2周短期用強效
n 孕婦為減少全身吸收,怕影響胎兒體重,建議用弱效。

給藥量
BTW,以往我們都會跟病人說擦在患部薄薄一層,但每個人對"薄薄一層"的定義不同,會有劑量太高或太低之虞。所以有人發明了一個給藥單位finger-tip unit (FTU)。
操作型定義是,5mm口徑藥膏,擠一個食指節長(約2.5-3cm),我量過我自己的就剛好是2.5cm。這樣就差不多是0.5g,可以cover兩手掌寬。
手掌兩面:1FTU
腳掌兩面:2FTU
一隻手臂:3-4FTU
一整條腿:6FTU
胸部和腹部:7FTU
背部和臀部:7FTU
