Tubular lichen has a fungal origin, but often develops against the background of diseases such as diabetes, rheumatism and others. That is why the treatment of tubal lichen is always of a complex nature. Only eliminating the source of the disease can completely get rid of it.
Causes of tubal lichens
Fungi of the genus Malassezia are the direct cause of tubal lichens, but they are conditionally pathogenic, that is, they do not always lead to disease. This will happen only if there are several factors favorable for mycobacteria:
- increased sweating ;
- decreased immunity;
- non-observance of sanitary and hygienic norms;
- damage and trauma to the skin;
- violation of the protective functions of the epidermis;
- constant stress.
