Streptodermia is a bacterial skin disease in which the infection penetrates the skin and develops. Streptodermia predominantly occurs in boys, despite the fact that the disease is contagious and can be transmitted to both sexes at any age.
Symptoms and causes of streptoderma
Before selecting an ointment for the treatment of this disease, it is necessary to understand its symptoms and causes.
Among the main causes of streptodermia are the following:
- Disorders of the immune system.
- Contact with an infected person.
- When bacteria get into the microcracks of the skin, the probability of infection increases several times.
Among the main symptoms of the disease are several:
- A week after infection, the patient develops pinkish spots, mostly on the face. They can also occur on the limbs.
- Then on the spots formed scales, which can cause a slight itch and a feeling of tightness of the skin.
- With the active inclusion of immunity, lymph nodes may increase and the temperature may rise.
Given all these features of the disease, we can say that the patient should use antibiotic ointments for streptodermia, which will prevent the development of infection and simultaneously activate immunity.
