Impetigo is a type of impetigo, a common purulent skin disease also known as impetigo. It often occurs in preschool children. The disease is most prevalent in summer and autumn. The disease mainly occurs around the mouth and nose. It is contagious and has the characteristics of self-inoculation. When this skin disease occurs, parents should not panic too much. It has a certain self-limiting nature and can be treated with oral antibiotics and topical neomycin ointment. Causes of deep impetigo Ulcerative impetigo caused by streptococcal infection is a type of pyoderma. The lesions are similar to those of impetigo but are deeper. The disease initially presents as small inflammatory nodules with pustules and scabs on the surface. After removing the scabs, raised edges and saucer-shaped ulcers can be seen. They heal after a few weeks, leaving shallow scars. It can occur in any part of the body, but is more common in the lower legs. Most patients are weak, malnourished, and children with poor hygiene. The local treatment is the same, but antibiotics are required internally. In addition, attention should be paid to improving hygiene, enhancing nutrition, and improving general health levels. How to cure thin skin sores quickly If your child has impetigo, parents don't need to panic. When dealing with children with impetigo, one very important aspect that should be paid attention to is isolation. Children with the disease cannot go to nurseries or kindergartens to avoid infecting other children. Towels, clothes, quilts, etc. used by the child should be boiled and disinfected. If there are pustules, you can use a sterilized needle to pierce the bottom of the pustules, then use a sterilized cotton ball to absorb the pus, and apply neomycin ointment externally. If symptoms are severe, oral antibiotics should be taken. Generally speaking, impetigo will heal within five days without leaving any scars. How can parents prevent impetigo? 1. Take a bath and change clothes frequently, especially on areas prone to prickly heat and sweating. You can apply some powder to keep the skin dry. 2. You can appropriately supplement vitamin A, B vitamins, and vitamin C to enhance immunity. 3. When the skin is injured or damaged, pay more attention to cleaning and disinfection of the skin. You can apply some chloramphenicol ointment to prevent infection. |
