Diagnosis of skin diseases. Diseases of the skin and subcutaneous tissue

First of all, skin diseases are recognized on the basis of an assessment of primary and secondary skin rashes. However, only a correct description of skin changes is not enough to make a diagnosis. Great importance have a history and additional methods research.

Diagnosis begins with a careful collection of patient complaints. In the future, a preliminary examination of the patient is carried out, and only then an anamnesis is collected. This procedure allows you to collect an anamnesis more purposefully, since after the examination, a circle of presumptive diagnoses is usually already determined. Examination of the patient should be carried out in a well-lit, warm room, since it is necessary to assess the condition of the entire skin and visible mucous membranes.

Attention is drawn to the color of the skin (its severity, uniformity), its elasticity, turgor, the condition of the appendages (hair, nails, sebaceous and sweat glands).

Inspection of the affected skin.

First, the prevalence of skin lesions, especially the localization of rashes, are evaluated. Be sure to note the nature of the rash: monomorphic or polymorphic rash. Monomorphic rashes are understood as rashes, represented by one rash elements. Polymorphism can be true (presence of various primary loose elements) or evolutionary (change of elements in the course of their formation).

Primary spill elements

Recognition of primary eruptions is usually not very difficult. If the eruptive element is caused only by a violation of the color of the skin (does not protrude above the level of the surrounding skin and is not palpable), this is a spot. In other cases, it is immediately determined whether it is a cavity or non-cavity loose element.

Spot (macula) - a rash element caused by a change in the color of an area of \u200b\u200bthe skin or mucous membrane. Allocate vascular, pigment and artificial spots.

Vascular spots can be caused by vasodilation, their excessive formation and exit from the vessels (hemorrhagic spots).

Dark spots (hyper-, hypo- and depigmented) are associated with increased or reduced content(lack of) melanin pigment.

artificial stains are formed when a dye is injected into the skin (tattoo, permanent makeup, etc.).

Blister (urtica) - a cavityless, rising above the level of the skin, itchy rash element of white or red color with a smooth surface, doughy consistency. There is a blister from several minutes to several hours (up to 24 hours), it is resolved without a trace. The development of a blister is associated with localized swelling of the papillary dermis, which occurs due to the expansion of skin vessels and an increase in their permeability. With the development of diffuse edema subcutaneous tissue there is a giant blister (angioedema, or Quincke's edema).

Nodule (papule) - a cavityless formation (density may be different), rising above the level of the skin. The development of papules may be associated with proliferative processes in the epidermis, infiltration and (or) proliferation of the dermis, as well as deposition of metabolic products (lipids, amyloid, etc.) in the skin.

There are inflammatory and non-inflammatory papules. The shape distinguishes between flat, hemispherical and pointed (follicular) papules. Depending on the size, miliary (the size of a millet grain - up to 2 mm in diameter), lenticular (the size of a lentil grain - about 5-7 mm in diameter), nummular (the size of a coin - about 2-3 cm in diameter) and plaques (5 cm or more in diameter).

tubercle (tuberculum) - hollow element with a diameter of 2 mm to 7 mm. The development of the tubercle is associated with productive granulomatous inflammation in the dermis that occurs in certain diseases (tuberculosis, tertiary syphilis, leprosy, etc.). In the debut, the tubercle bears a strong resemblance to an inflammatory papule. When resolved, unlike a papule, a tubercle always leaves a scar or (less commonly) cicatricial atrophy.

Node (nodus) - a cavityless large formation of various density, inflammatory or non-inflammatory nature. The nodes may rise above the surface of the surrounding skin or, if they are located deep, can be determined only by palpation. Allocate nodes of inflammatory and tumor origin.

Vesicle (vesicle) - superficial cavity formation ranging from 1 mm to 10 mm, with serous contents. Causes of bubble formation can be vacuolar dystrophy (intracellular edema), intercellular edema (spongiosis) and ballooning dystrophy.

Bubble (bulla) - cavity formation larger than 10 mm, with serous or hemorrhagic contents. The cavity can be located both sub- and intra-epidermally. Bladder development is due to disruption of connections between keratinocytes or between the epidermis and dermis. The causes of these damages can be exogenous and endogenous.

Pustule (pustule) - a cavity towering formation ranging in size from 1 mm to 10 mm, with purulent contents. More often located inside the epidermis, rarely penetrates the dermis. A purulent cavity is formed due to necrosis of epidermal cells. The color of the contents of the abscess is yellowish-greenish, the shape is hemispherical. Often the pustules are associated with the hair follicle.

Secondary spill elements

Secondary spot - a change in skin color that develops at the site of resolved primary eruptive elements. It can be hyperpigmented (more often associated with the deposition of hemosiderin, less often melanin) and hypopigmented (decrease in melanin content due to dysfunction of melanocytes).

Erosion - a defect in the skin surface within the epidermis, often resulting from the opening of primary abdominal rashes. Erosion is epithelialized without scar formation.

Ulcer (ulcus) - a deep defect in the skin itself or deeper tissues. It is formed during the decay of a number of primary rashes or after rejection of the scab. On examination, special attention is paid to the edge of the ulcer, its bottom and the nature of the discharge. During healing, a scar is always formed at the site of the ulcer.

Scar (cycatrix) -newly formed connective tissue that replaced a deep skin defect. The absence of a skin pattern in the scar area is characteristic. Allocate normotrophic, hypertrophic and atrophic scars.

Scale (squama) - accumulation of loosened horny plates. Its development is associated with a violation of the processes of horn formation: defective (parakeratosis), less often - excessive keratinization (hyperkeratosis). Depending on the size and type of scales, flour-like, bran-like, large- or small-lamellar, exfoliative (leaf-like) peeling is distinguished.

Cork (crusta) - is the result of drying of blood or exudate. By the color of the crusts, one can judge the nature of the exudate: serous exudate shrinks into honey-yellow crusts, purulent - into greenish-gray crusts, bloody - dark red.

Crack (fissure) associated with a decrease in skin elasticity (dryness, maceration, keratosis and infiltration).

Abrasion (excoriation) - the result of mechanical trauma to the skin. Often occurs as a result of scratching with intense skin itching. The shape of the excoriations is usually linear. With scalping and biopsy scratching, they leave scars.

Pathological conditions of the skin

Allocate also pathological conditions skin: keratosis, lichenification, vegetation, dermatosclerosis, anetoderma and atrophoderma.

Keratosis - layers of dense dry, hard-to-remove horny masses.

Lichenification manifested by a sharp increase in the pattern of the skin, its thickening and dryness.

vegetation - the result of the growth of the papillae of the dermis. Manifested by rising above the skin (mucous) formations resembling "cauliflower".

Dermatosclerosis characterized by compaction of the skin area, a decrease in its mobility. At the heart of the condition is the development of fibrosis in the dermis.

Atrophoderma has the appearance of a site of "retraction" of the skin. It is caused by the death of subcutaneous fatty tissue.

Anetodermia associated with the destruction of the fibrous structures of the dermis. On palpation, there is a feeling of "falling through" - in this area, the usual elasticity for the skin is not felt.

Outside human body protects his largest organ, and therefore very vulnerable. The skin consists of 3 layers, epidermis, dermis and adipose tissue, each of which is subject to many diseases. In order to start treatment in a timely manner, it is important to know the forms and symptoms of such pathologies, their external manifestations.

Types of skin diseases

There are several options for classifying the described group of ailments, depending on their localization, the nature of the course, clinical picture. To simplify skin diseases It is accepted to distinguish according to the cause of occurrence. By clarifying the factors that provoked the problem under consideration, it is easier to establish a correct diagnosis and prescribe an effective treatment regimen.

Symptoms of skin diseases

The clinical picture of dermatological pathologies corresponds to their type and severity. Skin diseases also have common symptoms, among which may be observed:

rashes;
cracks;
ulcers;
redness, bruising and other changes in skin tone;
acne;
abscesses;
growths;
peeling;
erosion;
dryness;
blisters;
change in skin pigmentation;
inflammation;
pustules, papules and the like.

Skin diseases on the face

The most common problem in this area is acne. Acne is provoked by propionic bacteria, but various factors can stimulate their reproduction:

demodicosis;

herpes;

seborrheic dermatitis;

rosacea;

rosacea;

chloasma.

Skin diseases on the head

The epidermis of the hairy areas is also prone to dermatological ailments. Their main symptom is dandruff. Often, diseases of the scalp are accompanied by other characteristic signs:

hair loss;
peeling;
increased activity of the sebaceous glands;
end section;
fragility, fragility and dullness of hair;
rash on the scalp;
redness.

Common dermatological diseases of the hairy areas:

seborrhea;

ringworm;

pediculosis;

folliculitis.

Skin diseases on the body

The maximum amount of epidermis, dermis and adipose tissue protects the human body. The most pronounced and extensive lesions are provoked by the skin disease psoriasis, plaques sometimes cover up to 80% of the body. They have a specific appearance and structure, as seen in the photo, so the pathology is easily diagnosed even during the initial appointment with a dermatologist.

Other common skin ailments on the body:

shingles;

eczema;

acne;

pink deprive Zhibera;

allergic dermatitis;

hives;

skin melanoma;

warts.

Skin diseases on the hands

Palms and hands are constantly in contact with contaminated surfaces, chemicals and other irritants. The result of this can be a skin disease dermatitis, which has an autoimmune (allergic) nature. It manifests itself in the form of a reddish rash, prone to confluence and the formation of extensive foci of inflammation, peeling and itching.

The following diseases can also be found on the skin of the hands:

scabies;

eczema;

psoriasis;

mycosis;

felon;

neurodermatitis;

vitiligo;

warts.

Skin diseases on the legs

Feet most of the time are covered with shoes, subject to rubbing and minor damage, which contributes to the reproduction and spread of fungal infections. For this reason, fungal diseases of smooth skin are often diagnosed on the legs, accompanied by an unpleasant odor, exfoliation of the epidermis, and destruction of nails. Without treatment, such pathologies progress rapidly, becoming chronic.

Less often, the legs are affected by other skin diseases, the symptoms of which are shown in the photo:

dermatitis;

psoriasis;

hyperkeratosis;

corn;

plantar warts.

Skin diseases - diagnosis

To prescribe adequate treatment, a dermatologist needs to find out the type of pathology and the cause of its occurrence. Human skin diseases are diagnosed using the following methods:

clinical examination by a specialist;
collection of anamnesis;
registration of patient complaints and visual symptoms;
establishing the presence of an isomorphic reaction;
vitropressure (diascopy, pressure on damaged areas with glass);
layered scraping;
bacterioscopic or bacteriological examination;
cytological analysis of prints, smears;
establishing cellular composition fluid separated from the affected surface;
histochemical and histological examination epidermis;
dermatography or dermatoscopy;
skin tests;
serological tests;
microscopic analysis of scrapings.

In addition to specific methods of examination, general methods for diagnosing diseases are used. Analysis is required:

blood (standard and biochemical, for sugar);
urine;
feces.

Depending on the suspected causes of the disease, the dermatologist may recommend the following tests:

hormonal panels;
allergy tests;
immune status;
ultrasound diagnostics of the gastrointestinal tract;
virology and others.

Treatment of skin diseases

The therapeutic approach is selected taking into account the cause of the established pathology. Diseases skin treated with systemic and local preparations aimed at eliminating symptoms and combating pathogens of pathology:

Additionally, phyto- and physiotherapy is used, common methods treatments are suitable no matter what skin disease has been found:

rejection of harmful addictions;
diet correction;
normalization of the daily routine;
selection proper care behind the skin;
compliance with the drinking regime;
taking vitamins and minerals;
compliance with hygiene standards.

Skin diseases and their prevention

Some dermatological ailments cannot be prevented, especially if the cause of their occurrence is not yet known to medicine, for example, psoriasis or eczema. In other cases, the prevention of skin diseases comes down to the following recommendations:

Choosing the right cosmetics
Avoid visiting public places with high humidity (pools, saunas, baths and beaches), where sanitary requirements are not observed.
Adhere to hygiene rules, take a shower regularly, using cosmetic soap (gel) and a washcloth.
Avoid unprotected sex with unfamiliar partners.
Keep nails clean.
Do not use other people's towels, washcloths, razors and other personal items.
Do manicures, pedicures and hair removal only by certified masters who follow sanitary rules.
Follow nutrition.
Wash hands before eating, after going to the toilet and after coming from the street.
Use disinfectant spray or skin wipes when traveling on public transport.
Observe quarantine if a family member has contracted a dermatological disease.
Do not come into contact with infected people and animals.

Dermatology- a branch of medicine that studies the functioning and structure of the skin, as well as mucous membranes, hair, nails, sebaceous and sweat glands; solves the problems of diagnostics, prevention and treatment of skin diseases.

A specialist who identifies skin diseases and prescribes treatment when dermatological diseases are detected is called a dermatologist.

History of dermatology

For the first time, mention of skin diseases is found in the manuscripts of ancient healers in China and Egypt. The great scientists Avicenna and Hippocrates were engaged in the development of methods for the treatment and diagnosis of such pathologies, but such a branch of medicine stood out as an independent direction only by the beginning of the 17th century, which was associated with a thorough study of the functioning and structure of the skin, and, of course, the invention of the first microscopic devices.

As a result of scientific justification and similar studies, a classification of skin diseases was first developed in 1776. This direction of medicine in Russia received scientific development at the end of the 18th century. Significant contribution to the global and domestic science introduced by such scientists as A.I. Pospelov, N.P. Mansurov, I.F. Zelenov and others.

Modern dermatology has been able to achieve significant development in the treatment and diagnosis of various pathologies due to the development innovative technologies and accumulated experience. Today, this industry has close ties with phlebology, venereology, endocrinology, surgery and others. medical directions, which is completely due to the need for a detailed study of various dermatological problems. This approach to a greater extent allows to improve the already acquired knowledge, as well as to develop new techniques in the field of laser treatment, plastic surgery, immunotherapy and create new, more effective drugs.

Directions and tasks of dermatology

Despite numerous connections with different sciences, the closest area for dermatology is venereology. In dermatology, there are more and more new areas that are engaged in a detailed study of certain pathologies and diseases:

Dermatocosmetology is a medical science that deals with the diagnosis of the causes of occurrence and the creation of methods for eliminating any cosmetic skin defects.

Mycology is a branch of dermatology that studies fungal diseases.

Trichology is a science that specializes in hair diseases.

Pediatric dermatology is a science that studies the characteristics of children's skin diseases.

Dermato-oncology - studies skin neoplasms for their good quality.

Gerontodermatology is a branch of dermatology that deals with skin diseases in the elderly.

Causes and symptoms of skin diseases

Leather- largest organ human body which is visible to the eye. It, like a litmus test, demonstrates the state of all organs and systems, protects them from mechanical influences and infections.

Through the nervous, lymphatic, endocrine and circulatory systems The skin is connected to almost the entire body. No wonder the diseases of most organs in a certain way affect the condition of the skin, nails, hair, mucous membranes.

For example, everyone is well aware that the skin with liver diseases acquires a yellowish tint; with scarlet fever, chicken pox, measles, the body becomes covered with a rash; persistent furunculosis can talk about the development of diabetes, problems in gynecology manifest themselves as acne on the neck, cheeks, chin.

The functional diversity of the skin, its structure and the impact on it of many internal and external factors characterizes the variety of dermatological diseases - dermatoses. Exogenous (external) factors that affect the appearance of skin diseases include:

Biological factors causing:

fungal skin lesions - mycoses: epidermophytosis, microsporia;

pustular diseases - pyoderma: furunculosis, hidradenitis, impetigo;

viral lesions - herpes, warts;

Physical and chemical factors that cause the formation of inflammatory skin diseases - dermatitis: abrasions, diaper rash, burns.

Endogenous (internal) factors have a strong influence on the appearance of many skin diseases:

diseases of the nervous system;

metabolic disease;

hypovitaminosis;

internal diseases of the systems;

chronic foci of infection.

All of the above factors can act as a source of various deviations in the functionality of the skin and mucous membranes. Among the most common signs of skin diseases, the appearance of which you need to urgently consult a dermatologist, there are:

changes in skin color and texture;

skin rashes;

itching, burning, soreness of the skin.

Dermatological diseases

Among the diseases that dermatology studies:

occupational dermatological diseases;

diseases that depend on changes in the reactivity of the body;

skin diseases accompanied by intense itching (they talk about diseases internal organs) and neurotic disorders;

hereditary skin lesions that are chronic in nature;

pathological condition of the skin caused by changes in the work of the sebaceous and sweat glands and deviations in the chemical. composition of sebum.

It's no secret that most dermatoses are difficult to treat and are characterized by a chronic relapsing nature of the course.

The most common skin diseases:

eczema;
psoriasis;
dermatitis;
scabies;
lichen;
demodicosis;
seborrhea;
various mycoses and allergies;
neurodermatitis;
vitiligo;
streptoderma;
scleroderma;
erythema;
hives;
molluscum contagiosum;
lupus erythematosus;
acne (acne disease).

Such skin diseases cause a lot of aesthetic inconvenience to people, they destroy the skin and its appendages (nails, hair and sweat glands), disrupting its natural functions - immune, protective, thermoregulatory, receptor and metabolic.

Modern dermatology

In our time, the development of dermatology does not stop. The emergence of new methods for the diagnosis and treatment of skin diseases allows modern dermatology to make a breakthrough into the future. New techniques provide an opportunity to accurately and quickly determine the cause of a particular skin disease and establish effective treatment. Often, when conducting skin examinations, dermatologists advise visiting other doctors, since a skin disease is only an external manifestation of a malfunction in a certain body system.

Now modern diagnostic methods for examining the skin, nails, mucous membranes, hair are used: instrumental, laboratory, radiological, skin tests are carried out.

Treatment of skin diseases will require patience and compliance with all doctor's prescriptions. The main role in successful treatment is played by the exact adherence to the diet and drug therapy, proper regular hygiene of the diseased area of \u200b\u200bthe skin. In the treatment of skin diseases, physiotherapy and apparatus procedures, psychotherapy, spa treatment, herbal medicine are widely used.

Thanks to more advanced therapeutic and diagnostic methods, it is possible to achieve a cure for many skin diseases that until recently were considered incurable.

Dermatology on the site portal

Skin diseases of various etiologies are very diverse and widespread, so our medical portal introduces all visitors to different signs, advanced methods of treatment and methods for diagnosing dermatological diseases.

Methods for diagnosing dermatological diseases are no less diverse and complex than skin diseases themselves. Sometimes a visual inspection is enough, and sometimes a comprehensive study of the whole organism is necessary. Skin diseases sometimes affect general state a person, and vice versa - diseases of other systems affect the condition of the skin. When a person contacts a dermatologist with complaints, it is important to understand whether they are skin manifestations cause or effect of a disease.

It would seem that the skin is the largest organ of the human body in terms of area and the most accessible for diagnostics. But it is the skin that serves as the first protective barrier against all kinds of harmful effects. environment; in addition, skin diseases are so diverse that their diagnosis is sometimes a more difficult problem than the analysis of the state of internal organs.

The accuracy in making a dermatological diagnosis is largely determined by the "human factor": the doctor's attentiveness and experience, his ability for logical analysis and synthesis. Diagnosis of any dermatological disease includes several stages.

The first stage of a dermatological examination is the collection of an anamnesis, which involves an external examination and a conversation with the patient, and sometimes with his relatives. Need to find out possible reasons and the presence of factors contributing to the occurrence of skin diseases, the presence of comorbid (comorbid or background) diseases, information about heredity, lifestyle, nutrition, psychological state medications taken. Sometimes, with the same observed symptoms, the presence or absence of itching, the persistence of skin rashes, the frequency and area of \u200b\u200btheir appearance can be very important.

2. Examination of the patient

When answers to the main questions are received, a skin examination is performed, which begins with the affected area and necessarily covers the entire body. The most objective results are obtained by examining the skin in diffused daylight. Often a magnifying glass is used. In many diseases, lesions on the skin have a certain, “recognizable” shape, structure and color.

The first two stages of skin diagnosis, as a rule, allow the dermatologist to make a preliminary diagnosis or suggest several possible ones. In addition, the nature of the disease becomes clear - an acute or chronic condition, hereditary or acquired; it also turns out the stage of development of the disease and the degree of damage to the skin.

3. Laboratory research

Laboratory research especially important if skin manifestations are suspected to be due to other, non-dermatological diseases. If this is confirmed, symptomatic treatment is prescribed, and the main measures are focused on treatment. somatic disease. To identify the relationship between skin pathology and other diseases allows:

general analysis blood;
general urine analysis;
biochemical analysis blood;
stool analysis;
immunogram.

If necessary, the dermatologist directs the patient for a consultation with other specialists who can prescribe a number of more specific studies.

4. Special diagnostic methods

Actually dermatological diagnostics includes a number of methods and techniques that complement the visual examination of the skin:

palpation (to assess the elasticity and structure of the skin);
skin-allergic tests (to determine allergens);
sowing the affected area (growing microorganisms from the surface of the skin in a special environment);
microscopy of scrapings (examination of parts of the skin under a microscope);
scraping (to detect peeling);
diascopy (assessment of the reaction of the skin when pressed with a glass slide);
histology (examination for the presence of cancer cells).

Most diagnostic techniques in dermatology are safe and painless. Early detection disease gives a better chance of recovery. Even if skin rashes do not bother you with pain or itching, but only attract attention as something new on the body, you should not postpone a visit to the doctor.

Skin diseases most often cause moral suffering, because, unlike other diseases, they have external manifestations. Eczema, dermatitis, neurodermatitis, urticaria, herpes zoster, streptoderma, bacterial, fungal and viral lesions, demodicosis (Demodex), molluscum contagiosum and other skin diseases can be successfully treated.

Causes of skin diseases

Since allergies and skin diseases are not only an altered individual reaction of the body to certain biochemical substances, but also the inability of the body to remove them on its own. A person has four "laboratories" responsible specifically for detoxification and excretion of substances from the body. This is primarily the liver, kidneys, lymphatic system led by the spleen and intestines. When these organs fail, toxins are excreted through the skin.

Purely skin diseases do not exist. The causes of all skin diseases lie in the disruption of the internal organs - the liver, kidneys, as well as the lymphatic and immune systems. The consequence of these disorders, caused, among other things, by various infections, is a pronounced skin reaction.

Infection is one of the leading causes of skin diseases. The infection multiplies, causing an inflammatory response. In addition, any infection releases toxins into the body, which disrupt the filter organs. Toxins released by infections are primary and aggressive allergens. The presence of infections in the body significantly increases the allergic component. The organs responsible for detoxification (liver, kidneys, lymphatic system) with a huge amount of toxins will no longer cope with their work, fully perform their functions. In fact, skin diseases are a pathological way of percutaneous elimination of toxins from the body.

In many patients with skin diseases and allergies, the presence of so-called "internal allergens" is detected. This category, for example, includes worms and their metabolic products, since these are foreign protein structures that really allergic and skin diseases. Fungal cultures, such as yeast fungi of the genus candida, can also act as "internal allergens". Therefore, when, for example, a woman suffering from candidiasis complains of a rash, skin manifestations cannot be considered outside the overall clinical picture.

Intestinal dysbacteriosis is one of the most important factors provoking the occurrence of skin diseases. In case of violation intestinal microflora the processes of digestion and assimilation of nutrients are disturbed. First of all, the body begins to experience a deficiency of vitamins and trace elements. Among other things, hair, nails and skin begin to suffer from this. And hence - and various skin manifestations, which in many cases are well treated with the help of vitamins.

Stress is rightly considered the cause of many diseases. Any stress is a whole cascade of forced biochemical reactions that loosen not only the cardiovascular, but also immune system. As a result, a decrease in the body's resistance, activation of infections, an increase in the amount of toxins, a pronounced load on all filtering organs.

Diagnosis of skin diseases

Systemic diagnostics of skin diseases is extremely important, because any of the diagnoses is only evidence of violations in the body, which are purposefully detected in the course of program diagnostics. In the diagnosis of skin diseases, it is especially important to detect hidden infections that deprive the immune system of the ability to function normally. The condition of the internal organs, the disruption of which can cause skin diseases, is also assessed.

Therefore, examination for skin diseases consists of a carefully verified list of tests and examinations by doctors of other specializations, which are designed not only to detect skin diseases (often this can be done with the naked eye), but to identify real reasons all disorders present in the body. With such a systematic approach, the treatment carried out is enough to save the patient from skin disease for a long time, and often for life.

Diseases of the skin and subcutaneous tissue include:

Infections of the skin and subcutaneous tissue
bullous disorders
Dermatitis and eczema
Papulosquamous disorders
Urticaria and erythema
Diseases of the skin and subcutaneous tissue associated with exposure to radiation
Diseases of the skin appendages
Other diseases of the skin and subcutaneous tissue

Treatment of skin diseases

Treatment of skin diseases can be conditionally divided into several stages - depending on individual characteristics each patient and the nature of his disease. In the treatment of allergies and skin diseases, both the most advanced methods of treatment and classical ones are successfully used. This is homeopathy, herbal medicine, ultraviolet blood irradiation, cryotherapy, - together with a complex drug effect aimed at maintaining the functioning of the liver, kidneys, pancreas, etc. Special attention need to address the state of the immune system.

Ointments, creams, talkers and other topical preparations, as well as folk remedies treatment of skin diseases, are only an addition to the main treatment of allergic and skin diseases. The condition of the internal organs and the normalization of their work is important.

Treatment of skin diseases can be carried out both on an outpatient basis and in a day hospital.
