%X <b>Objective:</b> To explore the pre-treatment and efficacy analysis of comprehensive anti-inflammatory treatment for lymphedema in patients with irritating contact dermatitis. <b>Method:</b> Convenience sampling method was used to observe the skin of 160 patients with upper limb lymphedema admitted to the lymphedema outpatient department of our hospital. They were divided into an observation group (80 cases) and a control group (80 cases), and both groups received a course of comprehensive anti-inflammatory treatment (20 treatments). The control group received routine skin care; On the basis of the control group, the observation group received pre-treatment of the affected limb skin: Laofuzi herbal ointment was applied externally to the prone areas of irritating contact dermatitis (such as the upper arm, inner forearm, and cubital fossa). <b>Result:</b> The incidence of irritating contact dermatitis in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group (P < 0.05, P < 0.001). The number of severe irritating contact dermatitis cases in the two groups was 2 and 1, respectively, with no statistically significant difference (P > 0.05). Patients in the observation group felt significantly better in terms of comfort, skin moisture, and itching relief after being wrapped with low elasticity bandages than those in the control group (P < 0.05, P < 0.001). The observation group had a longer duration of bandages in summer than the control group (P < 0.05). <b>Conclusion:</b> Preventive treatment can effectively reduce the incidence of irritating contact dermatitis, prolong the time of stress treatment, thereby increasing efficacy and improving patient compliance.
