Gneiss in adults and ways to combat it

Atopic dermatitis or gneiss can be considered a local manifestation, which often indicates the presence of disturbances in the functioning of the human immune system. Gneiss is a genetically conditioned, chronic pathology that is an allergic inflammation of the skin. It is characterized by a certain symptomatology. The main manifestation of the disease is a skin itch.

More often this atopic dermatitis makes itself felt in childhood, but in rare cases develops in people in adulthood.

Already in the first year of life, 50% of children show signs of atopic dermatitis. In 75% of cases of the disease, it affects newborns between the ages of 2 months and 6 months. Rarely, the disease manifests itself in children from one year to 5 years and very rarely gneiss in adults is found in 30 or 50 years. Representatives of the male are more likely than others to become infected.

Symptoms of the disease

The most pronounced signs of atopic dermatitis is a strong itch of the skin and an increase in the reactivity of the skin with respect to various stimuli from the outside. Itching develops before the formation of rashes and intensifies in the evening. Subsequently, there are rashes, swelling and as a result of scratching.

Gneiss on the head in the first stage of development is more common in children under 2 years of age, but can also be detected in an adult. On the skin there are spots of red color, they are located mainly on the cheeks and on the forehead. The disease is acute, if the affected areas are constantly wet, swell and form crusts. Sometimes foci of the inflammatory process develop in the buttock zone, on the scalp or on the shin.

Acute stage is characterized by the appearance of papular patches against the background of reddened skin. A papule is an element that rises above the surface of the skin in the form of a small tubercle.

Most often papules occur in the folds of the skin, on the bend of the knees and elbows or behind the ears. In this case, strong peeling and dryness of the skin is observed, followed by the formation of an "atopic face", when its color dims, an additional fold of the skin is formed on the lower eyelid, the pigmentation of the zone around the eyes is intensified. When the stage of exacerbation is completed, dry skin, periodic cracks in the area of ​​the fingers or the back of the hand.

The process of treating atopic dermatitis

When answering the question of how to remove gneiss, it is important to remember that it is not necessary to treat atopic dermatitis alone, it should be developed by a doctor only after an accurate diagnosis, since a similar symptomatology is present in a number of pathologies. Do not independently adjust the dosage of medicines prescribed by the doctor, since any drug has side effects that occur with improperly arranged treatment.

Treatment of gneiss should comply with the following principles:

• Observance of special nutrition to eliminate allergen.
• Use of antiallergic drugs that eliminate itching.
• Destruction of toxins in the body.
• Admission of anti-inflammatory drugs.
• Taking sedatives.
• Receiving antibacterial drugs on condition of infection.

The treatment procedure at the stage of exacerbation and with chronic course is markedly different. It is important to remember that atopic dermatitis is a hereditary pathology that involves long-term treatment even in the absence of an exacerbation stage.

Possible complications in case of incorrect treatment of

One of the most common complications in atopic dermatitis is the invasion of pyoderma bacteria or the initiation of the process of skin atrophy.

Constant combing of the skin, which provokes a violation of the protective function, is detrimental to the course of the illness. Constant combing promotes the development of infection of fungal or microbial origin.

With the development of pyoderma, the skin develops pustules, which dry up over time and form crusts. Pyoderma is often supplemented by a deterioration in overall health, and it also provokes an increase in temperature.

Another complication of atopic dermatitis can become a viral infection, due to infection of which on the skin appear bubbles filled with transparent contents. The causative agent of this infection is the herpetic virus, which usually provokes the formation of a cold on the lips of a person. Eruptions form in the area of ​​inflammation, but also affect the mucous surfaces - the oral cavity, genitals, eyes, throat or healthy skin.

A common complication of gneiss is a fungal infection. In this case, the adult person mainly suffers from nails, the scalp, folds of the skin, and in children - the mucous surface of the oral cavity.

Sometimes fungal and bacterial lesions occur simultaneously. At 50 - 80% of people suffering from atopic dermatitis since childhood, then develops bronchial asthma or rhinitis of allergic origin, difficult to treat.
