Fungal diseases (mycoses) in children are caused by parasitic fungi, the spores of which enter the skin and subcutaneous tissue through microtrauma. Treatment of mycoses depends on the severity, nature of the disease and the area of the lesion.
Instructions
Step 1
Keratomycosis is a lesion of only the surface layers of the skin. It includes pityriasis versicolor, which is characterized by the appearance of coffee-with-milk-colored spots of various sizes and shapes. Pityriasis peeling of the skin is observed in these places. The spots are localized more often in the chest, back. With superficial forms of lesions of smooth skin, you can limit yourself to only external therapy. The affected skin areas are treated in the morning for two weeks with 2% iodine solution, in the evenings with nystatin or levorin ointment.
Step 2
Dermatomycosis is an infectious and allergic disease of the skin, hair, nails. Children are most susceptible to this type of mycoses. Dermatomycosis is manifested by peeling, wetting, severe itching, the formation of numerous bubbles, cracks and erosions. Candidiasis is a lesion of the skin, oral mucosa, genitals. In this case, erosion, vesicles, pustules appear. With a common form of mycosis, a course of nizoral is recommended, the dosage of which is 200 mg per week; in the treatment of trichophytosis (damage to the scalp), griseofulvin is most often used at a dose of 62.5 mg per day with a weight of less than 20 kg (starting from the age of two), with with a mass of 20 to 40 kg, the daily dose is 125 mg.
Step 3
Clotrimazole is the gold standard in the external therapy of mycoses, which has consistently taken one of the leading positions in the treatment of fungal diseases. It is recommended to observe personal hygiene, use only your combs and hats, and wash your hands.
