Fungus, which causes the disease in question, provokes the appearance of weakly pigmented spots on the skin. Unfortunately, it is not always possible to eliminate pityriasis in humans - the treatment of pathology lasts for months at a time. This is due to the fact that the exact cause of colonization of the epidermis by microorganisms is unknown, there are theories only about predisposing factors.
Effective treatment of pityriasis
The main method of therapy for the described dermatological disease is the daily and regular application of local antifungal preparations in the form of ointments and gels. Before using such medications, it is necessary to carefully and accurately treat the skin with antimycotic drying solutions.
Usually, the symptoms of pityriasis disappeared quickly, 4-7 days after the start of the appropriate treatment. Nevertheless, the effects of depigmentation of the skin remain for a long time, the normal tone of the dermis is restored only after 1-2 months.
A good way to get rid of this disease is the technique of Demjanovich. It consists in the alternate use of a weak solution of hydrochloric acid concentration of 6% and hyposulfite (60%). Also, a noticeable effect on pityriasis makes treatment with boric acid. These medicines not only disinfect the surface of the skin, but also prevent the reproduction of fungi, infection of the rashes.
Otrebuside lichen - treatment and preparations
Heavy forms of dermatological pathology are subject to complex therapy with the use of means for internal reception in combination with external treatment. Moreover, it is recommended to follow certain dietary rules, avoiding food provoking the release of excess sebum. Also, doctors are urged to pay more attention to personal hygiene, to change bed linens more frequently and to wash clothes.
Ointments for the treatment of pityriasis lichen
Dermatologists recommend the following drugs:
- Sulsen;
- Lamisyl;
- Clotrimazole;
- Nizoral;
- salicylic ointment.
It is worth noting that the application of these dosage forms of the drugs must necessarily alternate with the use of lightweight versions in the form of a gel or cream. Ointment, as a rule, is poorly absorbed, increases the fat content of the skin and prevents normal breathing of the epidermis.
As practice shows, it is best to combine preparations based on selenium sulphide with systemic means in order to eliminate pityriasis - treatment with clotrimazole, for example, it is recommended to start simultaneously with regular reception of Fluconazole according to the prescribed schedule (every 3 days for 150 mg).
It is also advisable to change hygienic cosmetics, use special pharmacy antimycotic shampoos, soft shower gels and antiseptic soap.
Pityriasis - treatment with pills
The growth of fungi is suppressed, mainly, such drugs:
- Sertaconazole;
- Imidazole;
- Bifonazole;
- Ketoconazole;
- Fluconazole.
To restore the functions of the epidermis, normalize the production of sebum and return to the discolored areas of a natural shade, Cyclosporine is used.
It must be remembered that absolutely all antimycotic drugs are quite toxic and adversely affect the liver, damaging the cells of its parenchyma. Therefore, after the course of treatment, it is desirable, at least for 10 days, to take hepatoprotectors with the extract of milk thistle - Essentiale, Gepabene, or drink pharmacy tea based on this plant.
As a rule, pityriasis lends itself well to therapy, but the possibility of relapse still remains high with accompanying factors (ultraviolet, reduced immunity, infection).
