Can erysipelas recur?
Erysipelas is a disease that can recur. Once erysipelas occurs, it should be taken seriously, especially in people with lowered immunity such as the elderly. If not treated promptly or if the condition is not taken seriously, it can lead to sepsis and endanger life. Frequent recurrences are called chronic recurrent erysipelas. Due to the repeated attacks of erysipelas, local secondary lymphedema occurs, and after elephantiasis forms, it becomes very difficult to completely cure. Therefore, patients infected with erysipelas should seek medical attention in a timely manner, follow the doctor's advice, and should not think that skin diseases are not serious and that merely applying ointment will suffice, as this can delay the condition and lead to serious complications.
erysipelas skin disease symptoms
Erysipelas is caused by hemolytic streptococcus. It commonly occurs on the dorsum of the foot, the lower leg, and the face, and is usually unilateral. The onset of the disease is generally acute, with typical skin symptoms mainly presenting as edematous erythema, with clear boundaries, tense and shiny surfaces. The skin lesions can rapidly expand outward, accompanied by various degrees of systemic toxic symptoms or lymph node enlargement. The condition often peaks within four to five days, and after subsiding, the affected skin areas may have mild pigmentation and desquamation.
What should be paid attention to for folliculitis?
Folliculitis is a common skin disease. After contracting folliculitis, it is important to avoid scratching the affected skin, and to keep the skin clean and hygienic. In terms of diet, do not eat spicy and irritating foods, such as onions, ginger, garlic, as well as tobacco and alcohol. After contracting folliculitis, it is essential to promptly use antibacterial and anti-inflammatory medications for treatment, and to keep the skin clean and dry.
What does it mean when frostbite turns purple?
Chilblains turning purple is mainly due to the local skin inflammation caused by cold stimulation, where the congestion in the local skin accumulates and cannot be expelled. Chilblains turning purple may be accompanied by local skin itching or pain, thus timely medication is needed for relief. You can apply some protective oils and chilblain creams, and it is important to keep both the whole body and the affected area dry and warm. Gloves and shoes should not be too tight.
Are athlete's foot and foot odor the same thing?
Athlete's foot and tinea pedis are actually the same type of disease; they are the same thing. "Athlete's foot" is another common name for tinea pedis. Both are superficial fungal skin diseases caused by fungal infections of the skin on the feet. The treatment methods are the same, using antifungal medications. It is important to avoid sharing slippers, foot towels, or bath towels with others.
Can third-stage syphilis be completely cured?
Third-stage syphilis and late-stage syphilis generally have a longer duration, with many cases exceeding two years. Third-stage syphilis can cause damage to the cardiovascular and nervous systems, and there may be residual symptoms after improvement. However, with persistent long-term standard treatment, it is still possible to achieve a cure. Therefore, if one contracts third-stage syphilis, it is crucial to adhere to the treatment and cooperate actively with the therapy.
Can I eat chicken with herpes zoster?
People with shingles can eat chicken. Shingles is a contagious disease caused by the varicella-zoster virus, often occurring in patients with low immunity. The onset of shingles is not directly related to diet. After contracting shingles, it is recommended to rest and eat protein-rich foods such as chicken to enhance the body's resistance, which is beneficial for the recovery of the disease. This provides the necessary nutrients to complement the medical treatment of shingles.
What department should I go to for onychomycosis?
Onychomycosis, also known as gray nails, it is recommended to visit the dermatology department. Onychomycosis is mainly caused by fungal infections. After the appearance of onychomycosis, the nails are prone to thickening, fragmentation, and defects. Therefore, it is essential to timely visit the dermatology department for examination and treatment after contracting onychomycosis. Antifungal medications can be used for treatment. At the same time, it is crucial to pay attention to personal cleanliness and hygiene.
Can tinea manuum et pedis spread to the body?
Tinea manuum and pedis is a skin disease that combines both hand and foot fungal infections, caused by fungal infections of the hands and feet. It is contagious and can spread to the body, causing tinea corporis and other diseases. After contracting this condition, it is crucial to take preventive measures, such as wearing breathable shoes and socks, keeping the hands and feet dry and clean, and using antifungal medications specifically for treating tinea manuum and pedis.
Does third-stage syphilis have transmissibility?
Syphilis is a disease that often causes fear among the general population. Syphilis is divided into three stages: primary, secondary, and tertiary, with tertiary syphilis being the most infectious stage. Syphilis is a chronic systemic infectious disease caused by the infection of the Treponema pallidum bacterium. It has a wide range of transmission methods, including sexual transmission, blood transmission, and mother-to-child transmission, among others. Therefore, the infectiousness of tertiary syphilis is the strongest, and everyone should pay extra attention and take precautions.
