How to treat skin blisters

Blisters are actually herpes that are higher than the surface of the skin and contain tissue fluid, hence the name blisters; generally blisters will not have much impact on health, or even almost no impact. When the blisters heal, the skin will shed, revealing new pink skin; the biological cause of blisters is caused by bacteria, viruses, etc. entering the sub-epidermis of the skin. Let the editor give you a detailed introduction to the relevant knowledge about blisters below.

Introduction

Blisters are raised sores that are above the skin and contain fluid. The formation of blisters is mostly the result of inflammatory reactions, such as inflammation caused by bacteria, viruses, parasites (scabies) or allergic reactions. Common ones include pemphigus, dermatitis herpetiformis, and herpes zoster.

The characteristic skin lesions of pemphigus are large blisters and epidermal peeling on normal-looking skin and mucous membranes. It often occurs in skin folds and is more common in middle-aged people. Dermatitis herpetiformis and herpes zoster are polymorphic skin lesions.

Polymorphous lesions refer to the rash having a variety of morphologies. For example, in herpetiform dermatitis, in addition to blisters, there are also various lesions such as erythema, papules, wheals, etc., with severe itching, but the mucous membrane is not damaged. The lesions are prone to occur in the armpits, shoulders and arms.

Blisters

They exist simultaneously, are distributed centripetally, and are more common in the trunk than in the limbs. Shingles is a type of herpes caused by the varicella virus. Its skin lesions are characterized by clusters of blisters distributed in a band-like manner along the peripheral nerves on one side of the body, accompanied by neuralgia and local lymph node enlargement. Generally speaking, shingles provides lifelong immunity, meaning it rarely recurs after recovery. Herpes zoster may also occur in advanced visceral cancer, but it is characterized by recurrence and systemic dissemination, so special attention should be paid when encountering this situation.

treat

General treatment and symptomatic treatment include respiratory tract isolation, bed rest, and intensive care to prevent herpes from ulcerating and infecting. If the rash has broken, apply gentian violet or neomycin ointment. Those with secondary infection should choose sensitive antibiotics as early as possible. Those with itching can be given calamine lotion and antihistamines. Complications of pneumonia and encephalitis should be treated as pneumonia and encephalitis. Hormones are generally contraindicated. When there are serious complications, they should be used as appropriate under the premise of using effective antibiotics. Those who have used hormones before the disease should reduce the dosage or stop using them as soon as possible.
