What are the classifications of purulent herpes

In fact, purulent herpes has a great impact on our health. In many cases, it is caused by some bacterial infections, such as Staphylococcus aureus or hemolytic Streptococcus. If infected by these bacteria, it may cause purulent herpes. Therefore, we should have a scientific understanding of their classification, prevention and treatment to reduce the impact.

1. There are two types of impetigo:

1. Bullous impetigo

Bullous impetigo is caused by Staphylococcus aureus and begins as millet-sized blisters that quickly enlarge to the size of a peanut or larger. At first, the contents of the blister are clear. After about one day, the blister fluid becomes turbid, and the pus sinks to the bottom of the blister. The superficial fluid remains clear, forming a crescent-shaped pus accumulation phenomenon, which is one of the characteristics of this type.

After the blister breaks, it becomes an erosive surface with pus scab on it. New blisters may develop around it. Skin lesions often occur on exposed parts of the body such as the face and limbs. The pathological changes are pustules under the stratum corneum of the epidermis, in which many neutrophils can be seen.

2. Impetigo

Impetigo is caused by hemolytic streptococci or a mixed infection of hemolytic streptococci and Staphylococcus aureus.

Blisters occur on the basis of erythema and quickly turn into pustules. The blisters are easy to break and form dense yellow thick scabs, which continue to expand around. It often occurs on the face, around the mouth, around the nostrils, and exposed parts of the limbs. Pathological changes are the same as those of the bullous type. This type may be accompanied by acute glomerulonephritis. Neonatal impetigo belongs to this type.

2. Prevention of impetigo

Pay attention to skin cleanliness and treat prickly heat, eczema and other itchy skin diseases in a timely manner. Childcare institutions and primary schools should strengthen pre-examination and isolate and treat patients in a timely manner when they are discovered.

3. Deep impetigo

Ulcerative pustulosis 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 of the patients are children who are weak, malnourished and have 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.
