Barrier and eczematous skin disease · rosacea and facial redness · contact allergy and the assessment of skin that reacts to everything
Dr. Yongbo Jia is Deputy Director of the Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics Medical Center and head of its dermatology service at Chongqing West District Hospital, and he is the physician responsible for this site. A vice chief physician and licensed aesthetic attending, he graduated from Chengdu University of Traditional Chinese Medicine and trained in dermatology at the Institute of Dermatology, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, and at Chongqing Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
On this site his part is the split that decides everything else: whether the reactivity is a barrier left less able to hold, a dermatosis such as rosacea or eczema, a delayed contact allergy, or a nerve sensitivity with nothing visible on the skin. He reads the distribution and the timeline before the surface, asks what is being applied rather than what has been bought, arranges patch testing when the history suggests an allergy and not as a routine, and treats a routine that has been shortened and is working as a result rather than as an unfinished job. He says plainly when the next step is to stop something, including when a patient has arrived expecting a device.

Subtraction is the first treatment
For the commonest kind of reactive skin the answer is to take things away — the exfoliant, the foaming cleanser, the fragrance — one group at a time, and to leave a short routine in place long enough to judge it. That is a real treatment rather than advice to do nothing, and it works far more often than the rungs above it are used. The step that is usually missing is not a product; it is the removal of one.
