Dermatologists have found out that speed of development of wrinkles depends on degree uvlazhnennosti a face skin

Recently experts have found out that speed of development of wrinkles depends on degree uvlazhnennosti a face skin. In particular, doctor Greg Hillebrand considers that quality of a horn layer of a skin substantially influences formation of wrinkles in the future. To such inputs it has come during research in which 122 women from 10 till 72 years have taken part. He also has noticed what prolong youth can both men, and women. For this purpose it is enough to use qualitative sun-protection and humidifying creams. Greg Hillebrand also considers what to take care of the own life never late. The effect after similar leaving will be shown very quickly, he confirms. In turn edition British Journal of Dermatology writes that at each average 28-year-old woman with a dry skin by 36 years the probability of occurrence of wrinkles will increase to 52 %. If the woman all time used humidifying creams, dermatologists speak, wrinkles can become most of all on 22 %.

There is little else that triggers such a visceral reaction from parents than the words “head lice,” especially when they are uttered in conjunction with an outbreak in their child’s classroom or summer camp.

But when it comes to these creepy, crawly, head-dwelling creatures, there is nothing to fear except fear itself, say researchers in an updated report on the diagnosis and treatment of head lice in the August issue of journal of Pediatrics.

Yes, head lice are gross, but they are not a health hazard or a sign of poor hygiene. They don’t spread any disease, and controversial no-nit policies, which state that if your child has any sign of lice or their eggs (nits) they should be kept home, should be abandoned, they say.

“It’s only a bug on your child, not in your child like the flu or pneumonia,” study author Barbara L. Frankowski, MD, MPH, professor of pediatrics at the University of Vermont in Burlington, says in an email. “Healthy children — which includes children with head lice infestation — should be in school learning.”
Treatment-Resistant Head Lice

The new report was last updated in 2002, and since that time, there has been a growing concern that lice are becoming resistant to some common over-the-counter treatments such as permethrins (like Nix) and pyrethrins (like A-200, Clear Lice System, Pronto, R & C, and Rid).

“They are still a good first-line treatment for most since they have been proven to be so safe and are available over the counter, [but] if these products don’t work and you are sure you have the correct diagnosis and have used the product properly, then you would want to talk to your health care provider about second-line prescription medications,” Frankowski says.

Another option is wet combing with a fine-toothed lice comb to make the lice easier to catch and remove, or suffocation (petroleum jelly or another product is massaged into your child’s hair, he or she wears a shower cap overnight and doesn’t wash their hair until the morning).

“Wet combing and suffocation methods are more time consuming, but can be helpful for parents who wish to avoid chemicals,” she says. “None of the methods are 100% effective, and often need to be repeated for two or three cycles,” she says. This includes nonprescription products.

There are some newer treatments available that target lice that have developed resistance. “There are several prescription options like Ulesfia, Ovide, ivermectin, and your health care provider can help you weigh the risks and benefits for your child,” she tells WebMD. While effective, these treatments may have some risks attached to them, and need to be studied for longer periods of time. Another prescription product used to treat lice is lindane shampoo (Kwell).
Diagnosing Head Lice Is Tricky

Diagnosis of head lice is not a slam dunk, and misdiagnosis of head lice may play a role in treatment resistance, says Cindy DeVore, MD, a pediatrician and school physician in New York State and the chair-elect for the Council on School Health of the American Academy of Pediatrics.

“Parents may misdiagnose head lice when they see flecks of dandruff or debris and mistake it for head lice in the face of a classroom parent notification of lice,” she tells WebMD in an email. “Because self-treatment has been available, involvement of physicians in the care of a child with head lice tends not to occur, and overuse and misuse of OTC medicines likely have complicated sorting out what is actual resistance and what is simply inadequate, inappropriate, or under-treatment.”

Treatment should only be started if there is a clear head lice diagnosis, she says.

Bernard Cohen, MD, chief of dermatology for Johns Hopkins Children’s Center in Baltimore, agrees.

“Despite resistance to treatment, I think the most common cause of spread and treatment failure is failure to identify and effectively treat all infested kids.”
Preventing Lice Not Easy Either

So if diagnosis is tricky, and lice are starting to outsmart some of the more common treatments, what about prevention?

Lice can’t hop or fly. Instead, they crawl from head to head. “Totally preventing head lice is probably impossible, if you have a normally active, social child,” Frankowski says. “Head lice is a normal risk of childhood, just like colds and scraped knees.”

“Although most lice infestations are spread by direct head-to-head contact, many advise teaching children not to share combs and brushes,” she says. That is OK, but “not using helmets for safety because you are afraid of lice is never an option,” she says.

“Most cases of head lice are community acquired, often at sleepaway programs or parties, and not uncommonly in the summer,” Devore says. “Parents should do regular surveillance of young children, checking the napes of necks, behind ears, and throughout the scalp, looking for signs of live lice or “nits” cemented to hair shafts close to the scalp that are not readily pulled out,” she says.

And “if there is a significant outbreak in a classroom of more than 20% of the children, the parent can check with the primary care physician to see whether use of a permethrin rinse on an uninfested child might confer some protection until the infestation in the classroom calms,” she says.
Not All In Favor of No-Nit Policies

Although the researchers do stress abandoning no-nit policies to avoid prolonged, unnecessary absences from school, other organizations, including the National Pediculosis Association, still support them. The nonprofit group states that not removing nits is the main reason treatments don’t work, and if children with hatching nits are readmitted to school, the head lice outbreak will continue.

“While absence from school or child care is a loss of educational opportunity and an encumbrance to working parents, readmitting an infested child is not the solution,” the group states. “A policy for head lice must consider not only the infested child, but also his or her peers who have already been successfully deloused or who have not yet been infested.”

Coming to the clinic even with the common cold, we sometimes hear: "To clarify the diagnosis will have to refer you to the X-ray.

And we are going to "radiate" or take a shot that the doctor was able to accurately determine the nature of pathology. But X-rays, these amazing rays, discovered by the German physicist Roentgen more than a hundred years ago, helping not only in the diagnosis of disease – they also have healing properties. With their help, we can treat both tumor and non-tumoral diseases. In the treatment of nontumorous diseases using X-rays with a shallow absorption of radiation by tissues and in low dosages.

Usually, the X-ray resort when other means proved ineffective or when she has a notorious advantages over them, to the advantage of this method include its simplicity, the possibility of using both ambulatory and in hospital, a painless procedure. On the treatment of patients sends medical specialist (surgeon, neurologist, dermatologist, etc.), and the question of the magnitude of radiation dose, the frequency of sessions and the amount of irradiated tissue is in the competence of the radiologist. Currently, radiotherapy has been successfully used in surgery, neurology, otolaryngology, dermatology, ophthalmology and other fields of medicine. Positive clinical effects observed in 85-98% of cases.

In surgery, radiotherapy is used mainly in acute and chronic suppurative-inflammatory diseases, such as boils, carbuncles, erysipelas, panaritiums, osteomyelitis, postoperative complications and consequences of diabetes – the effectiveness of this method is 90-97%. The most efficient X-ray therapy in the initial stages of the inflammatory process: sometimes only 1-2 treatments is sufficient to suspend its development. And in case of complications of diabetes, accompanied by trophic changes in the tissues of the feet, radiotherapy often avoids surgery.

The largest share in X-ray non-tumorous diseases account for the disease osteo-articular apparatus of degenerative-dystrophic nature – arthritis deformans, periarthritis humeroscapular, spondylitis osteochondrosis, heel and elbow bursitis, rheumatoid arthritis, etc. By providing anti-inflammatory effect on the surrounding joints, soft tissue, X-ray rays contribute to the reduction and disappearance of pain, increase range of motion in the joints or spine. 80% of patients noted subjective improvement in health status already during the treatment. In addition, it is possible to dramatically reduce the dose of painkillers and anti-inflammatory pharmaceuticals, prolonged use of which is often indifferent to the organism.

X-ray radiation is also widely used in the treatment of diseases of the peripheral nervous system – neuritis, neuralgia, radiculitis, plexitis, herpes zoster, and many others. Typically, they cause great suffering and lead to prolonged disability. For these illnesses irradiated locally affected nerve roots, plexus or peripheral nerve trunks. Analgesic effect of X-ray in this case, connected both to the suppression of inflammation in the nerve and surrounding tissues, and with the reduction of pathological impulses.

In dermatology using X-ray treat chronic eczema, neurodermatitis, itchy skin, keloid scars, hemangiomas, etc. In chronic dermatoses, it has anti-inflammatory and analgesic effect, reducing sensitivity to allergens, the recovery of a metabolism in the cells of the epidermis, the normalization of power in the tissues, stimulates skin regeneration. In the initial stage of irradiation of keloid scars can get rid of the pain and itching, helps stop the growth of keloid and leads to regression growths.

Experience over recent years positive experience of the leading clinics of the world confirms the feasibility and effectiveness of X-ray non-tumorous diseases. As shown radiobiological studies, small doses of X-rays had no harmful effects on human body. And the analysis of remote results of radiotherapy in our country and abroad so far revealed no complications or adverse effects of its use.

Ozone therapy is a therapeutic method, which finds in recent years increasingly used in clinical practice. Ozone has a large variety of medicinal effects. For example, we know that it has antibacterial, antiviral, anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory effects, enhances mikrogemodinamiku, facilitates correction of disorders of lipid peroxidation and increases the activity of antioxidant defense system. All this made it possible to use this method in the treatment of a number of diseases.

Application of ozone therapy:

Contraindications

Ozone therapy is contraindicated in the following diseases: acute pancreatitis, myocardial infarction, alcohol intoxication, hyperthyroidism, hypotension, internal bleeding (obligatory medical consultation).

Currently, more and more insistently an interest in non-medicated treatments that can replace or significantly limit the need for drugs and thus affect various aspects of the pathological process, contribute to impaired regulation of homeostasis, improvement of the functional state of various organs and systems, enhancing the protective forces organism. One such method is the use of ozone treatment, receiving widespread in our country and abroad.

The broad possibilities of using ozone for treatment and prevention of its high clinical efficacy, good tolerance by patients, the relative cheapness of the method, and therefore significantly cheaper – all these contribute to the fact that ozone therapy in an isolated form or combined with other medical factors must be widely used.

New ozone, as antiseptic was tested A. Wolff in 1915 during the First World War. In subsequent years gradually accumulate information about the successful use of ozone in the treatment of various diseases.

Low concentrations of ozone contribute epithelialization and healing.

In the treatment of colitis, rectal, fistulas, and several other diseases of intestines used rectal ozone-oxygen gas mixture. Ozone dissolved in distilled water, has been successfully used for the rehabilitation of various body cavities.

In recent decades, came to the fore the methods associated with parenteral (intravenous, intramuscular, intraarticular, subcutaneous) administration of therapeutic doses of ozone. For intravenous use ozone, dissolved in saline or in the patient’s blood.

Therapeutic doses of ozone introduced parenterally, significantly strengthens and improves the microcirculation of trophic processes in organs and tissues, affect the rheological properties of blood, have a pronounced immunomodulating effect contributes to the upsurge in detoxification of the body’s defense.

The variety of mechanisms of therapeutic action of ozone identified and breadth of its clinical application.

Vacuum massage - a universal means of rejuvenation, purification, mobilization of internal reserves of the organism. Also called the Cup massage, or more precisely – the gradient of the vacuum therapy.

It has high efficiency and specific advantages over the more well-known and common procedures – in depth study of the soft tissues, duration of exposure, expressed detoxification of the body, training the muscles and the normalization of microcirculatory blood flow. Already Avicenna said that the need to clean the affected organ with cans.

The method is widely distributed in the East – in China, Japan and Korea.

Impact of vacuum cans leads to a temporary reddening of the skin (hyperemia), and then formed Punctulata hemorrhage (ekstravazaty or petechiae). They dissipate within 3-5 days.Therefore, the mechanism of action is similar to the cans, which produces autohaemotherapy – treatment with the patient’s own blood.

Experts say that with skilful application of vacuum-massage can replace acupuncture, point, classical, segmental massage, physiotherapy and drug therapy together.

During the procedure, due to pressure changes created unprecedented conditions for the dosage increase of superficial and deep vessels. There is a kind of vascular gymnastics, that is, alternating expansion and contraction of blood and lymph vessels. Accelerating microcirculation of blood, lymph and interstitial fluid in the skin, underlying muscle-fascial structures, ligaments, tendons and reflexively related bodies. Decongest, derived toxic products of metabolism, normalized regulatory and metabolic processes are activated and function of organs.Especially stimulated nerve endings and capillaries and larger vessels, and after such a severe exposure, are included in the work of those capillaries that had for some time "inactive".

In the brain dramatically increases the speed of blood circulation. Being intensified general metabolism in the body. With the secret of the sweat glands begin to actively allocated to products of metabolism that contributes to the rapid removal from the body of toxic substances.

Indications:

Contraindications: tumors, acute infections, seizures, decompensated diseases of the cardiovascular system, thrombophlebitis, abscesses and fungal skin lesions, the second half of pregnancy.

Usually course vacuum massage consists of 7.11 procedures with an interval of 1-3 days. If you have a goal of getting rid of any specific diseases, the pattern of course is made individually.If necessary, procedures can be repeated a month.

Oseltamivir is recommended for up to 4 sessions per month or up to 4 courses per year.

Have a nice thick hair today in all respects is not cheap. We need to start from the master – the correct choice of shampoo. How to distinguish good from bad?

How do we buy shampoo? Very simple! First, we drew a distinguishing feature: for oily hair, dandruff, with extract of ginseng, hypoallergenic … Then – the smell. Finally, the design of the bottle: nice, if it looks beautifully on the shelf in the bathroom.

In fact, more importantly, how well shampoo performs its main function – cleaning. This is where the main danger lies in wait. When your hairdresser friend says that all samples of mass production poured from one tank, it is not so far from the truth. Write a cheap shampoo is very simple: backup is taken and it is poured cleansing agent, thickener and water. You can even simpler: buy concentrate from the manufacturer and diluted with water. All product is ready, the case for the packaging and label.

To shampoo match internationally accepted standards of dermatology softness, you must enter a recipe many additional components. What? In doing so, we with you and to understand.

Portrait in Detail

The basis of any shampoo are so-called surfactants (surface-active substances). They are quite aggressive, destroy the protective surface of the hair, but they have dignity and unconditional: equally effectively washed in cold and hot water, well distributed on the hair, creating a thick and dense foam. To balance the aggression of strong detergents, shampoos enter into good, soft surfactants, synthesized from amino acids (eg, raw materials often serve as coconut fatty acids).

Small producers do not use the cheapest means of mild surfactants in general, or use them in insufficient quantities. The result of this washing lamentable: scales, forming the surface of the hair stand on end, hair clinging to each other and break down. From dryness and irritation of the scalp and suffering.

It’s nice when shampoo creates a thick and rich foam. To do this, he injected foam stabilizers and thickeners. In the cheap brands for these purposes is often used salt, that hair is not helpful. Self-respecting brand adds a softer components.

Absolutely natural cosmetic products today simply do not exist.

Well, if it is composed of more and conditioning agents. They counterbalance the rigidity of the surfactant, envelop hair, smooth rearing scales, discharge the static stress and facilitates combing. Most of them proven – dimethicone.

For us, more important, some consistency in shampoo. Pleasant shade of pearl, soft creamy texture make cleaning a pleasure. All this is provided by special supplements – high-alcohols or organic acids.

Any further action, whether fighting dandruff or moisturizing dry hair, suggests the presence of shampoo biologically active substances. They regulate the activity of sebaceous glands and accelerate the growth of hair, make them less fragile, struggling with dandruff. Impossible to list them all: the list of hundreds of both known and exotic names. The most common: lecithin, extracts of nettle, chamomile, coconut, calendula, evening primrose, ginseng, seaweed.

The main problem associated with bio-additives – their concentration. Depends upon it all: for example, if a dandruff shampoo will be less than 4 g of Australian tea tree oil per liter, the effect just will not. So when manufacturers advertise expensive ingredients in cheap products, most likely, they are just telling the whole story: either the vaunted components there is no general, or the concentration is too low.

Safety

Few who read inspiring tiny bukovki list of ingredients on the bottle. However, if you’ve a head of hair, a shampoo manufacturer is unknown, use the two Councils.

Read the shampoo – a useful thing. Pay attention not to the large announced on the front side of ingredients ( "Now – with seaweed!"), And the major players of which are listed under. To name just lauritsulfat sodium (the most common washing base) and dietalonomidy fatty acids (the most common thickening agent), and the rest – water and lots of dietary supplements, most likely, the manufacturer wants to save money on your hair.

Note that the leading world and Russian producers list of ingredients begins and ends with fifteen forty names. Of these, 5 to 10 – only a list of surfactants. This does not wish to poison our chemistry: on the contrary, the more detergent components include a shampoo, the lower the concentration of each. This means that fewer and stimulating effect.

Comment specialist

Olga Dmitrieva, physician trichologist beauty salon:

- If you have problems with hair, the preference is better to give professional trihologicheskim shampoos. Manufacturers of mass production do not hide: that is written on the bottle, often does not match the content. A professional shampoo is all claimed ingredients, and the most active of these are listed first. Selection of necessary means of physician-trichologist begins with computer diagnostics. It allows you to see the root of the problem – to evaluate the condition of the hair bulb, hair shaft, scalp.

Literate hair care is no different from the care of a person. In addition to shampoo and conditioner, it necessarily includes therapeutic lotion that is applied after washing. There are lotions for all occasions: regulating fat, struggling with dandruff, can help dry, relaxed, colored hair, etc. Improve the structure of the hair cuticle, helping to strengthen and medical masks.

Trihologicheskie line should not be confused with pharmacy series. The latter always contain medicinal ingredients. Because of this often makes itself known withdrawal syndrome: if you stop using this shampoo for dandruff, it will appear again. Pharmacy means can not be used for a long time, trihologicheskimi same – they want. A huge range of products allows us to solve your problem and ensure a smooth transition to other drugs.

To properly care for the skin and prevent premature aging of it, above all, it is necessary to determine skin type.

The skin may be normal, dry, oily, and mixed type, but it is the most primitive and conditioned modern classifications, in fact, today there are over 20 types of skin, which can identify only by specialists.

If you do not know what kind of your skin, we suggest to resort to traditional and simple test for fat content.

This test is conducted with clean skin, without makeup and cream, at room temperature, an hour after washing (and without the use of soap) when the natural oils film, remote water is restored. To do this test need sheet of tissue paper (in extreme cases, you can use thin paper napkin).

Leaf is applied first to the T-zone (forehead, nose, chin), then to the right and left cheeks, slightly pushing down and away without too much pressure, so that on a piece of paper remaining five spots located in the same manner as the dice .

Warning: oiliness of the skin is constantly changing, so periodically check your skin for type of fat!

Talk about extreme fat versions of the skin.

Dry skin

Typically, the skin contains 10-20% water. If this figure is below 10%, the skin becomes brittle, cracks easily, many people especially the skin becomes dry on the face, hands, (especially palms), feet and other open areas. Aging, illness, poor nutrition and hormonal disorders significantly affect the dryness of the skin. Dryness is expressed in the coarsening, peeling and cracking of the skin, making it less elastic than normal, and dry to the touch. Cold and dry climate or season worsen the skin condition.

The main factors influencing the dryness of the skin:

The main secret of the young, fresh and clean skin – it has never suffered from lack of moisture. Water is essential to our skin cells, it plays an important role in biochemical processes and creates optimal conditions for the functioning of cells.

Recommendations for the care of dry skin:

A few words "to protect" phospho-lipid mantle: there are several explanations for violations of its integrity:

For moistening the surface layers of the skin should use moisturizers. The process of wetting the deep layers of the skin and restore the skin’s ability to retain moisture can be activated using tabletizirovannyh cosmetics containing specific substances – polysaccharides. Because the skin is not able to break down the ingredients like the digestive system, nutrients herbs and plants should always be selected, processed and blended with moisturizer. Good nutrients dampening means: allantoin, amino acids, jojoba oil, extract of royal jelly, fatty acids (stearic acid), squalene, oil sprouted wheat, aloe vera and vitamin E.

What photoinduced aging?

Oily Skin

The most common problem of oily skin – it is acne, a skin disorder and is usually associated with young age, although there may be a cause of discomfort, and 20, and 30, and 40 years.

Pimple occurs when excessive activity of the sebaceous gland when it is allocating commingled with dust and dead skin cells and clog the pores or hair follicles.

Therefore, you need to wash several times a day with a special cleanser for oily skin to reduce fat content to a minimum.

Cosmetics designed to exfoliate (remove the top layer of dead cells), useful for the release of clogged pores and remove deeply penetrated the dust and bacteria. They also help to remove the accumulation of fat in the skin.

People with oily skin usually large pores, with both men and women.

Although the size of pores, usually inherited, pores may be damaged and expand pimples and squeezing blackheads.

In the process of aging skin is relaxed, which also increases the pore.

Binders, air fresheners, toners, hardeners and cleaners are designed to reduce and minimize pores.

Alcohol, which is their main ingredient, rapidly evaporates from the skin, providing a cooling effect and temporarily "sealing" the pores. Hazelnut has a similar effect.

If you care for oily skin use astringent, which removes excess fat from the skin. That you will not only be able to get rid of spots, blackheads and greasy luster, but also to preserve the softness characteristic for oily skin.

Avoid cosmetic products with chemical ingredients that may cause unnecessary harm degreasing.

But as soon as warm weather, doctors lining up the queue of people who can not wear open shoes.

Nail fungus – a disease that can not be concealed. The most common myths dispels specialist, wrote AIF.

Myth 1. Infection with the fungus can be identified by the appearance of skin and nails

- One can only assume that it exists, – says Victoria Rukavishnikova, PhD, Department of Dermatology and Venereology Mycology SSC Rosmedtechnology. - The fact that the nails may change under the influence of physical and chemical factors, domestic work, due to drug intake, stress. Fungus is able to depict psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, and so many people for years unsuccessfully treated for fungus, they take strong medicine, but actually a completely different diagnosis. According be the same reason to engage in self-medicate. If you suspect a fungus necessarily need to see a doctor – only he determines that you have a disease.

Fungus affects the skin and nails. The skin usually appears peeling – in the form of plates, rings, may be mukovidnym (when the grooves of the skin as if sprinkled with flour). Perhaps the emergence of bubbles, which can suppurate and opened. Nails can thicken, crumble, as if separated from the nail bed, change the color.

Myth 2. Gribkov often infected in the bath or pool

In these places actually increased humidity, steams the skin and is easily separated from the body of an infected person, its particles are deposited on the floor, where can "cling" to the feet of other visitors. However, the danger lies in wait for you at every turn. If you wear clothes that come in contact with the body of the patient, wipe with a towel, which he recently he dried himself, too, can pick up the fungus. Everyone knows that you can not wear someone else’s shoes. Including slippers that you offer to guests. Bear! Barefoot walking is also not a solution – particles of skin with mushrooms can get you off the floor. Protect you can usually socks. But better not nylon – they are too thin and detain sweat. Measure shoes in a store is better on cotton socks.

- Can become infected in public transport via rail, for which held the patient – warns Victoria Rukavishnikova. - We had a patient, who picked up a fungus in a fitness club through the simulators. He lies in wait for you even on the beach – sand is mixed with particles of the patient skin. The source of infection may be even sunbeds. Our patient, who sat in a lawn chair on the buttocks formed pockets of fungi, which usually affects the foot. Exit – go to the beach with their shoes and a towel. Last to regularly wash and proglazhivat moist iron (or otparivat), because the fungi are killed at 100 degrees.

Myth 3. If you find mold, you must throw out all my shoes

No, enough to handle it. There is a special apparatus, which is placed in the shoe, provides ultraviolet and has antifungal effects. The sun and the battery, by the way, mushrooms do not kill. You can process the shoes within 40% solution of vinegar (vinegar essence for this breed of water), or buy low-cost domestic resources for processing in the pharmacy. For example, the liquid "Samarovka" or 1% chlorhexidine digluconate (gibitan). Wipe the inside of their shoes, hold it in an airtight package for 2-3 hours. Another option – to process Shoes 25%-s formaldehyde. After footwear should wipe ammonia – this reduces the risk of allergies. Underwear and linen, stockings, socks, tights and more sanitized, washed and, if possible, ironed damp.

Myth 4. Fungus can not be cured completely

The worse the immune system and the more human chronic diseases, the harder it is to get rid of fungus. In some cases, he affects the folds of the arms, legs, stomach, chest. In one case, five fungus goes from feet to hands. However, in most cases it is curable.

The rest – those who can not be treated because of poor health – can make the disease noncontagious: soak your nails with a 5% iodine and treat skin.

Myth 5. Fungus can be treated for 1 time using the therapeutic creams, nail polish

Rapid recovery is only possible if the disease has just begun, you have very sensitive skin, which easily penetrates cream, and if the nails are just amazed at the edge – they are easy to cut, and the remainder of the grease paint treatment. These conditions malovypolnimy, and given that the fungus penetrates deep into the nails, which are fully updated, on average for 3 months, a rapid cure is impossible.

If the fungus struck only the skin and not more than two nails on the edge, which can be cut off, usually you can get an external treatment.

In the remaining cases are assigned and domestic products. By the way, when a person is treated, it is usually not contagious.

By the way

If you are not sure – suddenly became infected with fungus, as soon as they arrived from the pool (another place where they could get), wipe the feet with vinegar or lemon juice or grease antifungal cream. Crisis option: a teaspoon of any cream (approximately 5 g), mix with 5-7 drops of lemon juice.

Scabies - one of the most common diseases in dermatology. 

Despite the fact that almost everything about scabies has long been known until now there are problems in the diagnosis and treatment.

What is scabies?

Scabies (Latin scabies) – a parasitic disease of the skin (infestatsiya) caused by scabies.

Scabies – a contagious disease. She usually infected through close contact with patients with scabies (for example, lying in bed), or through any general with objects: clothes or linens.Scabies sometimes refer to a group of diseases, sexually transmitted diseases. For scabies, a disease characterized by multiple family members.

Itch mite

Itch mite Sarcoptes scabiei – this is not an insect, a representative of the Arachnid. The length of the female scabies mite is about 0.5 mm. She lives about a month. Females doing a horny layer moves under the skin, laying there on a daily basis for 2-3 eggs from which larvae hatch. Larvae pass through several stages of development and becoming an adult. All this happens in the skin of the patient. There they leave their waste. Then they rise to the skin surface and mate. Males fertilize the female, will soon die. A female is introduced into the skin of the former or new owner. After leaving the host, itch-mite at room temperature can live for 2-3 days. When boiling or freezing cold, they die almost immediately.

Symptoms of scabies

Scabies is so called because when it all itch. Itching is the presence of mites in the skin and its vital functions. This kind of allergy to mites. Therefore, when the first infection itching appears a few weeks (not yet formed an allergic response), and when re-infection – the very first day. 

Itching is very strong, characterized by excoriation – scratches. Characteristically increased itching in the evening and night, during sleep. 



In addition to scratching, with careful examination of the patient with scabies can be seen mangy tunnels – tunnels in the skin, Realized mite. Moves and scratches are usually between the fingers, hands, wrists, the elbow, on the feet, vulva, buttocks, armpits. Head and neck with scabies is not affected (this happens only in infants).

What to do if you suspect scabies?

Should consult a doctor. Sami You can not diagnose the "scab". And the doctor can not, yet hold a special study (find the mite).

Scabies – not only of skin diseases, in which sometimes itch. There are many diseases.

Rash at the same locations as with scabies, also occurs. In addition, there are atypical form of scabies, manifestations of which are clearly different: scabies lesions without skin, scabies urticaria (similar to hives), Uzelkov (with postskabioznymi inflammatory nodules), ekzematizirovannaya scabies complicated by pyoderma (secondary bacterial infection), and finally – the so-called "Norwegian" scabies.

Medical centers have sufficient clinical experience to diagnose any form of scabies, including complications and atypical. The standard diagnosis of scabies is that the tick on the tip of the needle being removed from the mangy way (it does not hurt) and examined under the microscope. To do this, find the itch course and point it – the tick at the end of turn. Sometimes it is not possible. In some clinical forms of scabies is generally not feasible.

How to treat scabies?

For scabies previously offered various preparations of sulfur, benzyl benzoate, the method Dem’yanovich with hydrochloric acid, etc. In recent years, new drugs have been used. They are produced in the form of ointments, creams, solutions, shampoos, emulsions and aerosols.

However, the use of various drugs faced with a study of their efficacy and toxicity, especially in children. In addition, various forms of scabies – such as postskabioznaya, ekzematizirovannaya or urticaria require adherence pathogenetic therapy. To remove not only the tick, but they launched the inflammatory process.

So equipped to deal with scabies, even if you buy the new product and use it according to the scheme, you can not always.

Pyoderma (pyodermiae; Greek. Pyon pus + derma skin; synonym: pustular skin diseases, pyoderma, piodermity, piozy) – a group of skin diseases caused by staphylococcus, streptococcus, rarely Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli and other microorganisms.

The most important role played by the presence of pyoderma atrium and reduction of the protective forces of organism. The source of pathogenic micro-organisms may be bacterial flora of the skin, upper respiratory tract, as well as the environment. The skin staphylococci are frequently in the mouths of hair follicles and sebaceous glands. In the upper respiratory tract, including oral, pathogenic staphylococci are found in almost half of healthy people. Pathogenic streptococci are identified mainly in the nose and mouth, about 10% of healthy people, the children in groups (kindergartens, nurseries, hospitals) – up to 70%. In the skin, staphylococcus and streptococcus penetrate into the ground microtraumas. Leading role in the occurrence of pyoderma belongs inhibition of cellular and humoral immunity. Development contributes to diabetes (increased sugar content in the skin creates a good breeding ground for pathogens).By the predisposing factors are also chilling and overheating of the organism, malnutrition, fatigue, chronic intoxication (eg, alcoholism), diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, liver, etc.

Depending on the pathogen isolated staphylococcal, streptococcal and mixed pyoderma. At the depth of skin lesions distinguish superficial and deep pyoderma. Adrift pyoderma may be acute and chronic. At the same patient may be a combination of superficial and deep pyoderma, while at some stages of the disease can be acute within, on the other – a chronic relapsing.Pyoderma may represent a secondary process, complicates other skin diseases, especially skin accompanied by itching.

The clinical picture of pyoderma varied, dependent on the nature of the pathogen, the individual characteristics of the organism, its reactivity (primarily on the immune system), the influence of predisposing environmental factors, severity and localization of the pathological process, as well as the duration of the disease.

When staphylococcal pyoderma process develops mainly in the field of hair follicles, in sebaceous and sweat glands. Emerging pustules have a conical or hemispherical shape, their walls thick, hard, center pustules often permeated with hair, exuding pus – a thick, yellow-green color. In children, such as epidemic pemphigus newborns may be superficial bubbles, not associated with hair follicles, sebaceous and sweat glands.

Streptococcal pyoderma occurs more frequently in women and children. Primary morphological element is fliktena – flaccid bladder with a thin lid and serous content, which is fast becoming sero-purulent, purulent later. Fliktena within the epidermis, it is characteristic of peripheral growth, and if its bottom is not necrotizing, as happens in the transformation of it into ecthyma, is formed in its place erosion quickly epiteliziruetsya; in the future remains a temporary hyperpigmentation.

When the surface forms bubbles located within the epidermis, and after authorization, they do not leave persistent trails. With deep pyoderma bubbles detected in the epidermis, dermis and often in the subcutaneous tissue, and after their healing scars and scar formation atrophy. With prolonged duration of deep pyoderma may occur pioallergidy – secondary allergic lesions in a variety of skin eruptions (eg, lichenoid, erythematous, eritematoskvamoznoy, eczematous rash).

By staphylococcal pyoderma, or stafilodermiyam include skin lesions: a vulgar sycosis, folliculitis, furuncle, hydradenitis, multiple abscesses newborn infants epidemic pemphigus, exfoliative dermatitis of Ritter.

Multiple abscesses of infants, or psevdofurunkulez Finger, develop in infants as a result of the defeat of the excretory ducts and glomeruli ekkrinnyh sweat glands. Disease promote the wrong care, overheating, excessive sweating, which leads to skin maceration, malnutrition, as well as enteritis, infectious diseases, etc. The skin of the trunk, usually the back, buttocks, thighs, there are numerous dense reddish-bluish nodes, which can expand to the size of a hazelnut. Nodes quickly softened in the center, opened, and were allocated semiliquid pus. The process ends with scarring. There are possible complications of impaired children in the form of a phlegmon, and even sepsis. Treatment for a pediatrician in the children’s hospital. Assign an antibiotic, tonic, producing surgical opening of abscesses.

Streptococcal pyoderma, or streptoderma are impetigo, strep Zayed, simply deprive persons with chronic diffuse streptoderma, erysipelas, ecthyma vulgar.

Simply deprive a person referred to as an atypical form of streptococcal impetigo. It is often noted in children, usually in spring or autumn. In the children’s groups from the disease can take an epidemic. It contributes to the emergence of non-compliance with the rules of hygienic skin care, inadequate drying of the skin after washing. The skin of the cheeks, chin, nose, trunk seldom sometimes slightly reddened, there are round or oval areas defurfuration white. In some cases, they merge, forming krupnofestonchatye foci. Often used to mark a number of new homes. Chance of light skin itch. Under the influence of the sun’s rays can pass the disease, skin in the affected areas tans weaker, resulting in secondary leukoderma. Treatment for a dermatology outpatients. Assign an ointment with antibiotics.

Chronic diffuse streptoderma, or streptococcal epidermitis, localized mainly in the skin of the extremities, women around the nipple and under the breasts. Characteristic one-sided defeat, the sharp boundary source, typical of streptococcal flikteny on its surface and near the fire, thick greenish-yellow rind and wet erosive surface formed after opening flikten with epidermal peeling aureole, a tendency to peripheral growth. The disease runs a long time. Often noted strong itching. Often, the result of irrational treatment of primary focus is eczematization with the transformation of microbial eczema. Treatment for a dermatologist. Assign antibiotics, topically disinfectants (aniline dyes, ointments with antibiotics).

For mixed forms include vulgar impetigo, chronic deep ulcer and vegetating pyoderma, chronic piokokkovuyu ulcer, shankriformnuyu pyoderma.

Chronic deep pyoderma ulcer is localized more on the lower extremities. It usually begins with flikteny surrounded by a hyperemic rim. Later fliktena opened and formed a rapidly growing ulcer on the edge of which is infiltrated with the roller width to 5 mm. Due to this ridge is an increase in the size of ulcers. At the same time can appear several ulcers. In their place are superficial scars.

Vegetating pyoderma is localized mainly in the large folds of skin on the scalp, the mucous membrane of the mouth. The process begins with the formation of pustules, not associated with follicles. After opening the pustules surface erosion vegetates. Sometimes opening up pustules develop granulation. The merger formed the major areas of rash lesions with scalloped outlines, their surface gets wet, in some cases the deposition of the crust. In resolving a rash on their site remains pigmentation.

Chronic piokokkovaya ulcer usually localized to the lower extremities. The process begins with a painful hyperemia, a small swelling, then there fliktena or abscess, which quickly ulcerate.The resulting painful ulcers surrounded by an inflammatory puffy rim, through which it increases, reaching in some cases the value of palms and more. Ulcers can be round or irregular, resulting in necrosis of the central part of it is rapidly widening. Later necrotic masses are removed, the bottom of the ulcer becomes clean, smooth, bluish-violet; liquid discharge, purulent.Crusts are not formed. Scarring ulcer lasts a long time. The process usually begins with the center. At the same time may be several ulcers.

Shankriformnaya pyoderma primarily characterized by the appearance of vulva, face, red border of the lips, oral mucosa, the language of the bubble, which is formed after opening the erosion or ulcer 2 cm in diameter round or oval shape with a seal at the base, giving it a resemblance to chancre (see Syphilis). Discharge small, often shrivel in the crust. It is usually found streptococci and staphylococci. Regional lymph nodes are enlarged. After resolving the bubble, which is usually single, may remain superficial scar.

Treatment of mixed forms of pyoderma conducts dermatologist or dermatological outpatient hospital, depending on the severity of clinical manifestations. It includes the use of antibacterial drugs, vitamins, specific and nonspecific immunotherapy, physiotherapeutic procedures, locally recommended disinfectants.

Prevention pyoderma: the content of the skin clean (regular cleaning and linen change), its protection from traumatic and maceration. Microtrauma should immediately handle disinfectants. Of paramount importance are measures aimed at improving the body’s resistance. To avoid contamination, which are particularly prone children, you must beware of their close contact with sick pyoderma. Should be systematically conduct inspections of personnel in institutions and remove from office persons, even with minimal manifestations of the disease.Prevention of pyoderma in a production environment consists of obschesanitarnyh, sanitary and technical measures, including self-defense, personal care worker and hygiene education.
