It looks like streptoderma as purulent vesicles, which bursting, form a yellowish-gray itchy crust. Depending on the variety, it can be dry or wet, but the first option is more common. The child becomes capricious, sluggish, refuses to eat.
There is streptoderma not from scratch. This requires a combination of factors:
- reduction of general and local immunity;
- getting staphylococcus;
- wounds or roughness on the skin (this is common in children).
How to cure streptoderma in a child?
First of all, you do not need to diagnose yourself - for this there is a kozhvendispanser, where they will tell exactly what happened to the baby, and they will prescribe an adequate treatment. An important condition for recovery will be a complete refusal from water procedures, that is, no drop should fall on the affected areas, for then the spread of sores will not stop.
The baby should only have natural linens and clothes so that moisture does not form and does not come into contact with the skin. Adults and older children are important to strictly observe hygiene, because streptoderma is very contagious disease.
Treatment of dry streptoderma in children
Treatment of streptoderma in children is inexpensive - you need an ointment and cauterizing agent, which is prescribed aniline dyes (brilliant green, fukortsin or methylene blue).
Before treatment, wash hands thoroughly and use a sterile needle to puncture the vesicle with purulent contents, then treat with one of the above.
Depending on the area and surface of the lesion, this disease is treated from one to two weeks. At this time, all contacts with others cease, except for those who take care of the child, so as not to cause an outbreak of illness. The incubation period lasts about a week, and quarantine, when the child does not need to contact other children - 10 days.
