Lishaya in humans: symptoms and treatment

Lishay is a skin disease that occurs in all mammals. The causative agent of this disease is a fungus parasitizing on the human body. Unfortunately, depriving people is not so harmless, as most believe - in addition to the unpleasant sensations that it delivers to the patient, and the untidy appearance, lichen can cause ulcers to form at the site of the rash.

The reasons for the development of deprivation are still not fully understood by medicine, so it is unfortunately impossible to completely insure against this unpleasant disease. But for today it is unequivocally known that all those who fell ill at the time of infection were weakened immunity or damaged the outer layer of the epidermis. Of course, an important role played by communication with the carrier depriving, but not all types of this disease are contagious.

The most common types of hair loss in humans are: pink and ringworm. Among themselves, these species have many similarities, but there are also differences.

Pink lichen in humans is a sharp lesion of the skin, characterized by abundant pink flaky rashes. The whole body can be struck, except the face and head.

As a rule, outbreaks of pink lichen occur in the cold season, along with outbreaks of colds. The greatest risk of getting infected with a virus infection - flu, sore throat and so on. The reason for this is a sharp weakening of immunity, aggravated by the use of antibiotics.

According to the theory, pink lichen is not contagious, but there are cases when whole families were sick at the same time, before they also had a cold at the same time. Such a discrepancy between theory and practice is explained by the weakening of immunity in a whole group of people in conjunction with close contacts between them.

Also common is ringworm in a person whose symptoms should be known to everyone due to his infectiousness. So, the first symptom of this disease is the appearance on the body of scaly spots, which can have a somewhat edematous appearance. The entire body, including the head, can be affected. In this case, on the affected areas of the skin will be observed bald patches.

Despite the fact that with this disease the rashes are very itchy, it can not be scratched in any way - so you can smash the pathogen - anthropophilic fungus - thereby only exacerbating the situation.

Ringworm is very contagious in people, so the diseased must be immediately isolated from healthy people. You can get infected not only from a person, but also from an animal, and also through things used by the patient - towels, combs and so on.

Having discovered this disease, treatment should be started immediately, since if it is started, the consequences can be very unpleasant: it is the development of ulcers, and inflammation of the lymph nodes, and scars in place of the spots.

Fortunately, the deprivation of people is treated quite easily. First of all, the immune system of the patient is put in order (this is facilitated by the intake of various immune-boosting drugs), after which he is prescribed a course of various antifungal drugs. Among the most popular are such products as "Lamizil", "Orungal", "Nizoral", "Griseofulvin".

For external topical application, the following remedies are prescribed : Wilkinson's ointment, Mikozonol preparation, sulfuric-diagonal and salicylic ointment. If the lichen has hit the scalp, then the hair is removed from it completely, which provides a more complete exposure to ointments.

If necessary, the patient is prescribed a course of antibiotics.

In addition, lichen in people is treated with folk medicine. It is very effective to lubricate the rashes with the flesh of raisins, garlic, cranberries, ashes from sunflower, alcohol tincture of propolis, as well as applying compresses from broth of horse sorrel.
