There is a group of dermatoses with similar clinical features, united by one name. This lichen - skin diseases of fungal, viral, autoimmune or allergic origin, provoking epidermal lesions on any part of the body. In therapy, ointment is often used, but the doctor must select and prescribe it.
Lishay - types and treatment
There are several forms of considered pathologies, each of which requires a specific medical approach. Types of lichen:
- pink (Zhibera's disease, pitiriasis, scaly roseola);
- shearing (trichophytosis, microsporia);
- otrigious (multicolored, "solar fungus");
- shingles (herpes zoster).
Local treatment of each type of lichen is developed strictly individually, all of the listed diseases have different pathogens. Therapy of Zhibera's disease is limited to gentle skin care without the use of pharmacological agents, its symptoms disappear on their own. Ringworm and multicolored lichen require the use of antimycotic ointment, because they are provoked by fungi. Herpes zoster has a viral nature, for the treatment of this type of pathology, appropriate drugs with immunomodulatory properties are needed.
Ointment from lichen on the skin of a man
It is forbidden to choose and apply local medicines independently for the described group of dermatoses. Ointments from lichen in humans have different active ingredients in the composition, aimed at combating a particular pathogen. Improperly selected medication can provoke an increase in the symptoms of the pathology, the development of dangerous complications. Ointment should be prescribed by a qualified dermatologist. Suitable drugs are prescribed after the diagnosis and laboratory studies of the epidermis, identify the cause of the disease.

Effective ointments from lichen
All local medicines of the form in question are conventionally divided into potent drugs and means for symptomatic therapy. Each name is effective from a particular type of disease, so the best ointment from depriving for quick treatment is a strictly individual drug. Selection and prescription of the medication is handled by an experienced dermatologist. The most effective symptomatic agents are the following ointments:
- Yam;
- sulfuric;
- salicylic;
- zinc.
These drugs produce too little effect on the causative agents of the described group of dermatoses, but soften their clinical manifestations and contribute to accelerated healing and regeneration of the skin. The last three ointments from lichen can be sold in the form of complex agents and include additional active ingredients, for example tar.
For basic therapy of dermatomycosis, drugs based on antifungal components are prescribed. The most effective in the fight against pathogens of such pathologies are terbinafine and ketoconazole. These chemicals destroy existing colonies of fungi and prevent their reproduction, prevent the spread of pathogenic microorganisms to healthy areas of the skin.
Ointment of Yam from depriving
Initially, this drug was developed for use in veterinary medicine. It is convenient to use, because before applying it is not necessary to shave the woolen cover. Dermatologists very rarely prescribe Yam (ointment) from lichen for a person. It is a highly concentrated medication that can provoke a severe chemical burn, especially if the epidermis is dry and sensitive.
The considered ointment from lichen is recommended for combating fungal lesions, it contains the following active and auxiliary components:
- sulfur;
- zinc oxide;
- phenol-free coal tar or lysol;
- Birch tar;
- salicylic acid;
- turpentine turpentine;
- petrolatum;
- lanolin;
- distilled water.
The use of only the presented agent will not lead to complete recovery. In parallel, it is necessary to use more potent drugs with antifungal ingredients. Ointment Yam dries wetting ulcers, provides antiseptic treatment of damaged areas and stops inflammation. The optimal method of application - 2 times a day with a thin layer, grabbing 2 cm of healthy skin around the lichen spots. The course of treatment is no more than 2 weeks.

In dermatology, combined treatment is used to deprive sulfuric ointment, where it acts as an auxiliary. The described drug is applied 2-3 times a day in a thin layer and performs the following functions:
- prevention of secondary infection;
- acceleration of healing of damaged skin;
- drying drying of plaque.
From depriving often prescribed complex medicines based on sulfuric ointment with additional active ingredients:
- salicylic acid;
- zinc;
- birch tar.
Salicylic ointment from lichen
This drug is similarly used exclusively as an auxiliary therapy. Salicylic ointment versus lichen is ineffective without basic treatment.

Ointment works best in combination with zinc, sulfur and tar. Salicylic acid does not fight fungi or viruses, its agents help restore skin and prevent secondary bacterial infections.
Zinc ointment from lichen
