Among dermatological diseases there is a group of the most common and often diagnosed pathologies. These are lichens, which combine infectious and autoimmune skin lesions. The causes, symptoms and ways of treating these diseases depend on their form.
Types of depriving a person
There are several main types of diseases considered. There are the following types of lichen:
- girdling;
- pearly (color, sunny, tubular, multi-colored);
- shearing (trichophytosis, microsporia);
- red flat;
- pink ( Zhibera's disease ).
How does infection get deprived?
Provide pathology may be external pathogens (fungi or viruses), and autoimmune processes in their own body. The infectious lichen of a transmission way has such:
- interaction with an infected animal or person;
- contact with infected soil;
- use of common with sick subjects.
Sometimes, deprivation of a person begins against the backdrop of worsening of the immune system. Non-infectious diseases are not contagious, they can progress only in the pathogen carrier for a long time, be remission and relapse again. These types of pathology include shingles, lichen planus and Zhibera disease. The latter species leads to the formation of a stable immunity.
Lishaya - symptoms
The external manifestations of the described group of diseases correspond to their appearance. Signs of depriving a person always include rashes on the skin, in addition can be observed:
- itching;
- peeling;
- disorders of the pigmentation of the epidermis;
- hair loss;
- pain of different localization;
- crumbling, brittle nails.
Shingles - symptoms
The presented form of the disease has specific and easily recognizable signs. Thanks to this, the dermatologist immediately determines how the lichen progresses in humans, and prescribes adequate treatment. The shingled appearance of the pathology develops due to the activation of herpes. The causative agent of this type of disease is the same virus that provokes chicken pox. The cause of deterioration in the work of immunity may be hypothermia, stress, severe infection and other factors.
Even on visual symptoms, it's easy to diagnose this deprivation, the photo shows the main distinguishing features:
- bubble girdle rashes with clear liquid inside;
- opening of the blisters after several days;
- formation on the spot rash of dark red spots with dense crust.
Additional features:
- slight increase in body temperature;
- itching and discomfort in the ribs;
- severe pain in the affected areas due to the action of the virus on the nerve plexus;
- deterioration of vision, up to its complete loss (in the absence of therapy).
Ringworm
This type of pathology more often infects children. Trichophytosis and microsporia - an infectious disease provoked by fungi, it is transmitted from sick animals and humans. Signs of lichen on the hairy areas:
- the formation of a red or pink spot with clear boundaries;
- itching;
- swelling of the skin;
- peeling;
- the appearance of small bubbles and crusts along the edges of the spot;
- breaking and darkening (to blackness) of hair in the lesion at a distance of 3-5 mm from the root.
Ringworm in a person can progress and on smooth skin. In such cases, the symptoms are as follows:
- one or more pale pink spots on the epidermis;
- presence of a bright red edging around the rash in the form of a thin cushion;
- peeling in the center of the spots;
- absence of itching and discomfort.
Peregrine lichen
The considered form of the disease is also caused by fungi and belongs to the infectious group. Synonyms - colored, tubular, colorful and sunny. On the skin are formed multiple spots of different sizes and shapes. They can merge with each other, turning into extensive zones of damage with crooked edges. Tubular lichen has the following external features:
- mild peeling of the epidermis;
- discoloration of rashes in summer on tanned skin;
- pronounced pink or brownish pigmentation of spots in winter;
- Periodic staining of the rash in a greenish color.
Red flat lichen
While the exact causes of the appearance of the described type of disease, medicine is not known. Presumably, red lichen develops against a background of chronic diseases, allergic reactions, stresses and other factors that worsen the activity of the immune system. More often it is diagnosed in women suffering from endocrine disorders. Flat lichen is accompanied by the following symptoms:
- a large number of red and purple nodules on the skin;
- crumbling and destruction of nail plates;
- severe itching;
- pale pink nodular spots on the mucous membranes;
- the appearance of new rashes in places of skin damage (abrasions, scratches);
- formation of small tubercles with uneven surface, similar to warts;
- formation of erosion and ulcers in affected areas.
Lishay Zhibera
This type of disease is poorly known, there are theories that it provokes a deterioration in the work of immunity after any viral infection or hypothermia. Pink lichen in humans is diagnosed only once. After the pathology, resistance to this type of disease is formed, and it does not arise again. The presented lichen in a person is characterized by such clinical manifestations:
- pink or light brown spots on the epidermis;
- localization of the rash on the trunk and in the folds of the skin;
- itching;
- proliferation and fusion of spots;
- the emergence of new foci;
- peeling of the skin.
Lishay - treatment
Therapy of this group of pathologies depends on their pathogen. The optimal method, how to treat lichen, is developed by a dermatologist after careful differential diagnosis. Some types of skin lesions do not require special therapy, for example, Zhibera's disease. Pink lichen passes independently for several months, the treatment assumes only relief of unpleasant symptoms.
