Night-Time Itchy Skin in Older Adults: A TCM Damp-Heat Case Study
When spring and summer arrive, many elderly people see their itchy skin flare up, particularly at night, and topical creams alone become less effective. Through the composite case of "Madam Chan", a 78-year-old, this article explains how TCM assesses elderly itch through the lens of damp-heat in the skin and blood-deficiency wind, walks through a phased approach to relief, and lists the warning signs (scabies, drug eruption, severe skin disease) that need a Western dermatology or internal-medicine assessment first.
