A group of skin diseases, the causative agents of which are staphylococci and streptococci, is called pyoderma - treatment of this disease involves finding out the root cause of the disease and its subsequent elimination. In some cases, it is sufficient to use antiseptic local remedies, but deep inflammatory processes require more intensive therapy.
Streptococcal and staphylococcal pyoderma on face and body - treatment
Therapy is aimed at complex recovery of the body from within, as well as creating destructive conditions for reproduction, colonization and vital activity of pathogenic microorganisms from the outside.
In addition, it is important to pay attention to the intensity of the inflammatory process and its clinical course. So, acute superficial types of diseases are subject to therapeutic measures for as little as 5-7 days. It is much more difficult if a deep chronic or ulcerative pyoderma develops - the treatment is delayed for a period of 2 weeks to several months.
The complex scheme for the elimination of streptococcal and staphylococcal pathologies consists of the use of such drugs:
- antiseptics;
- immunomodulators;
- antibiotics;
- hepatoprotectors;
- antifungal agents;
- multivitamins, especially those with group B.
The following medicines are used for antiseptic treatment of lesions:
- solution of potassium permanganate;
- furacilin;
- salicylic acid;
- iodine solution (2%);
- alcohol tinctures of aniline dyes;
- disinfectants;
- alcohol solution of boric acid;
- fucorcin;
- chlorophyllipt;
- solution of methylene blue (1%).
After disinfecting the skin, it is necessary to apply more potent drugs to it.
Ointment in the treatment of pyoderma
For drying and antiseptic treatment of wounds, ulceration and erosion, it is recommended to use local preparations of bactericidal action:
- Zinc or salicylic-zinc ointment (paste);
- tetracycline ointment;
- Levomekol;
- erythromycin ointment;
- linkomycin ointment;
- gyuoxisone ointment.
Modern medicine also offers several drugs with a complex effect, which have anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and antifungal properties. The best among them are cream and ointment Triederm , and also Timogen.
Pyoderma gangrenous - treatment with antibiotics
With simultaneous damage to the skin and staphylococci and streptococci, it becomes necessary to use both local and systemic antibacterial agents. The most commonly used drugs are antibiotic series of a wide spectrum of action:
- erythromycin;
- azithromycin;
- tetracycline;
- penicillin.
Heavy forms of pyoderma, among other things, are treated with corticosteroid hormones and angioprotectors. The selection of such means is necessarily performed by a specialist dermatologist.
