Otrywedni lichen - clinic and treatment

Many people suffer from skin problems. Peregrine lichen is a disease of the epidermis, which is caused by the fungus Malassezia and manifests itself in the form of spots with exfoliating skin. The color of the spots is brown, yellowish, whitish.
The disease itself is an infectious pathology and is mainly inherited. In most cases it occurs in countries with a hot climate. This disease affects only boys, and it is less common in children and the elderly. Predisposing factors to the appearance of color deprivation are increased sweating and wearing of strangers.
The causative agent of the disease is the fungus Malassezia furfur and the disease can be infected with close contact with the patient, the joint use of hygiene items. There is an opinion that pityriasis is not contagious, but scientists have the following opinion on this matter: the disease can be transmitted with a certain structure, and most often observed in families where members of the family have the same skin type.
Pregnancy, Cushing's syndrome, diabetes mellitus and somatic diseases contribute to color deprivation : tuberculosis and oncological lesions.

Description of color deprivation
Appear on the skin spots of different sizes, which have a light brown and yellow-ocher color. Their outlines are rounded, oval, cylindrical, they for a short period of time merge into large foci of infection and resemble a geographical map. Pityriasis mostly appears on the upper part of the trunk, the portion of the head, the neck. The spots change their color over time, and achromia is formed.
Pityriasis is divided into these types:
- yellow;
- the black;
- achromic.
Diagnose the disease with a Voodoo lamp, in which the rashes appear translucent greenish-golden or pink. If a solution of iodine is applied to the infection site, then latent spots will appear, which become more pronounced. Rashes on the skin are recorded in countries with a hot climate. If the stains of lichen are poorly expressed on the skin, then they need to be treated with a solution of iodine, while they should appear stronger and acquire a brown color. Pityriasis and pink lichen are subjected to differential diagnosis.
