Inflammatory skin disease - microbial eczema - often has a chronic form and gives periodic exacerbations. The cause of dermatological disease is the weakening of immunity and, consequently, the entry into the body of pathogenic microorganisms, mainly staphylococci and streptococci. Although the pathogenesis of microbial eczema is not clear enough, at the same time it is reliably established that the disease is not contagious. There are suggestions that the piococcus infection (also called microbial eczema) is hereditary or due to a tendency to allergies.
Symptoms of microbial eczema
The disease develops on the site of non-healing skin lesions and is localized usually on the feet and legs of the legs, in the umbilicus, around the nasal areolas, behind the ears. At first, there are clearly expressed formations covered with yellow-green crusts. The formed papules become wet and swell, and the patient suffers severe itching, and the skin is irritated and flaky. Growing up, rashes merge. The process can affect the entire skin. When combing, aggravation of the inflammation occurs, scars and scars may form on the site of deep ulcers, and severe viral diseases are associated with significant skin lesions. The secondary infection of the body with herpes is especially dangerous.
Traditional treatment of microbial eczema
When conducting a diagnostic examination, specialists determine the type of microorganism that caused the disease, to establish its sensitivity to medicines.
Treatment of microbial eczema on the hands, feet and other parts of the body, taking into account the tendency of patients to allergies, is carried out with the help of antihistamines. Also, taking into account the fact that stress factors and significant psychological stress often provoke the disease, sedatives can be prescribed. Regenerative processes in cells enhance the intake of vitamins B and C. In severe disease, hemodialysis and other methods of purifying the body are recommended. Also, in the treatment of microbial eczema, hydrocortisone ointments, glucocorticosteroid agents, applications from therapeutic mud and ultraviolet irradiation are used.
To relieve itching, it is effective to use retinol ointments that have anti-inflammatory, disinfecting and antipruritic effects. To remove inflammation help lotions with silver nitrate, resorcinol or a solution of boric acid.
