Nutrition for purulent skin diseases, general principles. Signs indicating boils. Impetigo vulgar or contagious

The pathogenesis of skin diseases is based on metabolic disorders, gastrointestinal pathology and other causes. Great importance when skin diseases occur, especially of allergic origin, have chemical substances that come with food. Malnutrition in skin diseases can cause their exacerbation.

In this regard, for these diseases, in addition to carrying out medical procedures, you definitely need to make adjustments to your diet. Nutrition for skin diseases, first of all, should spare the liver and kidneys as much as possible. Food should be freshly prepared and fast food should not be consumed. Since recurrent skin disease is often associated with gastrointestinal diseases and general metabolic disorders, therapeutic nutrition prescribed in accordance with the disease of the gastrointestinal tract.

It is important to maintain a balanced diet and diet. Food must contain required amount proteins, healthy carbohydrates, fats, microelements and. The amount of proteins must correspond physiological norm. However, in cases allergic diseases skin, it is necessary to avoid protein allergens (usually fish and egg proteins). Proteins should also come in the form of cheese, cottage cheese and lean meat.

For all skin diseases, it is necessary to significantly limit the consumption of simple carbohydrates (sugar, confectionery, bakery). The amount of necessary carbohydrates should be replenished by consuming complex carbohydrates, the sources of which are cereals, vegetables, fruits, bran, and whole grain bread. Sugar can be replaced xylitol (or ). Xylitol is usually preferred because it has a positive effect on carbohydrate metabolism without causing an increase in blood levels.

In addition, it has a lipotropic effect and prevents fatty liver degeneration, and also has a positive effect on intestinal flora. You can consume up to 30 g of this product per day, sweetening your dishes with it. At the same time, remember that their temperature should not be more than 700 C, since at higher temperatures xylitol acquires a bitter taste.

The amount of fat is not limited, but vegetable fats should predominate in the diet. The positive effect of fats in these diseases is explained by the presence in unrefined oils And . They help accelerate skin healing, increase the body's resistance and reduce allergic manifestations.

Diet for skin diseases involves:

• Consumption of vegetables, fruits and cereals, which should form the basis of the diet, since they contain the necessary amount of vitamins and minerals, fiber, which helps remove toxic metabolic products from the intestines. Fruits that cause allergies in a particular patient are excluded.
• Introduction to the diet of sprouted grains, which have a complete micro- and macronutrient, vitamin, enzyme and amino acid composition, and also have a detoxifying effect.
• Eating natural and high-quality food without preservatives, dyes, vegetables and fruits without chemical fertilizers.
• Sharp limitation of simple carbohydrates, salt and spices.
• Small meals - overeating is not allowed.
• Eating foods that improve bowel function when constipation It is necessary to achieve daily bowel movements and eating dried apricots, beets, carrots, and prunes will help with this.
• When preparing dishes, you should use boiling, baking or stewing with a minimum amount of fat, since heat treatment produces toxic substances.
• Drink 1.5-2 liters of fluid (in the absence of kidney pathology).
• In case of severe exacerbation of diseases, it is better to start therapeutic nutrition with fasting days(vegetable, fruit or kefir) or fasting.

In addition to the general principles of nutrition for various diseases There may be some specifics regarding permitted and prohibited products. These features will be discussed below.

The diet should contain minimal amount animal fats, with a normal content of carbohydrates and proteins. The total calorie intake should be 3500 kcal (if malnourished) and 2500 kcal per day if normal weight. Vitamins must be supplied to the body in sufficient quantities with food. antioxidants and microelements.

For pyoderma

Pyoderma - pustular skin disease (acute or chronic), which is caused by staphylococci , streptococci ,Pseudomonas aeruginosa or associations of microorganisms. This disease often takes a protracted course and often leads to loss of ability to work. Among the causes of this group of diseases are exo- and endogenous factors, changes in the body’s reactivity, carbohydrate metabolism disorders, steroid drugs and etc.

With a long-term process, as well as with multiple rashes, attention should be paid to diet, since the persistent course of the disease is facilitated by hypovitaminosis (B vitamins , WITH ) and unbalanced diet (not sufficient quantity protein in the diet and excess carbohydrates and caffeine-containing drinks).

• Recommended good nutrition with a sharp restriction of carbohydrates (mostly simple) and salt.

Alcohol is completely excluded. The diet must be followed for several months in order to normalize carbohydrate metabolism and improve intestinal function. In the future, the issue of nutrition is decided individually depending on the severity of the disease and the frequency of exacerbations.

Diet for rosacea

The disease begins with hot flashes in the facial area, which are provoked by hot food, stress, exposure to the sun, and temperature fluctuations. Redness lasts from minutes to several hours. Then the erythema of the face becomes more intense, an expanded capillary network joins and a rash (rosacea) appears, which subsequently becomes covered with scales.

The appearance of rosacea is associated with disruption of the liver, intestines and endocrine disorders. Rosacea progresses and affects the eyes ( blepharitis And conjunctivitis ), area behind the ears, neck, back skin and chest. It is characteristic that with this disease in pathological process the sebaceous glands are not involved.

If the diet is properly selected and of high quality, the disease can be kept under control. In this regard, a diet that includes:

• Regular and fractional meals.
• Preference should be given to lean meat and fish, which are boiled or steamed. The most valuable in this regard is fish, as an additional source omega 3 acids (mackerel, herring, tuna, salmon, halibut).
• Must be turned on daily a large number of vegetables and fruits (potatoes, rhubarb, cucumbers, cabbage, carrots, parsley, beets, dill, berries, apples), cereals (rice, oatmeal, buckwheat), legumes, sprouted cereals.
• Introduce additional vegetable fiber (whole grain bread, any type of bran).
• Necessary daily use fermented milk products and cottage cheese.
• Need to enrich the diet vitamin B (sprouted grains, brown rice, whole grain products, brewer's yeast, soybeans, broccoli, green leafy vegetables, nuts, seeds), vitamin K (onion, spinach, kale, broccoli, spinach, kale, turnip and beet tops, chard, parsley) and vitamin A (cod and halibut oil, fish oil, cod liver, animal liver).
• It is also important to limit salt and completely exclude iodized salt, which dilates blood vessels.
• Canned foods, vinegar, pepper, sausages, animal fats, fried and flour dishes, sweets, coffee and alcoholic drinks (especially whiskey and cognac, red wine), which increase the manifestations of the disease, are excluded.
• Pears, grapes and citrus fruits should be excluded from fruits.
• In severe forms, short-term fasting is prescribed with a transition to a balanced diet.
  Additional recommendations include avoiding long stays at high (sauna) and low temperatures, and reducing exposure to the sun to a minimum.

Scleroderma is an autoimmune rheumatological disease in which connective tissue is affected with the appearance of coarse fibrous fibers - scar tissue. Focal scleroderma (localized) affects only the skin with the formation of white spots or stripes (sometimes they resemble scars). This form of the disease has favorable prognosis. The systemic form of scleroderma is characterized by changes in all organs and blood vessels.

For scleroderma that affects only certain areas of the skin, there is no special diet. Nutrition can be considered rational, balanced with a sufficient amount of vitamins and microelements.

• The diet must contain a sufficient amount of calories.
• Include a lot of vegetables and fruits, algae and fiber (bran, almonds, whole grains, peanuts, beans, lentils, raisins, fruit peels), the main advantage of which is the removal of toxic metabolic products from the intestines and the regulation of its function.
• It is necessary to consume products containing vitamin C , which is an antioxidant (citrus fruits, strawberries, melon, leafy green salads, Brussels sprouts, broccoli, black currants, bell peppers, strawberries, rose hips, apples, tomatoes, apricots, peaches, persimmons). However, high doses of this vitamin should be avoided as it stimulates the formation of connective tissue, its daily norm should be no more than 1000 mg.
• B vitamins , increasing resistance to infections, improving digestion and normalizing metabolic processes. Their sources are pistachios, peanuts, almonds, pine nuts, cashews, buckwheat, millet, lentils, oatmeal and barley, corn, liver, pork, beef, fish, eggs, pumpkin seeds, brown rice, beans.
• Include foods rich in beta carotene And vitamin A , which support the immune system and have a beneficial effect on the condition of the skin (carrots, spinach, pumpkin, tomatoes, broccoli, plums, green peas, fish oil, chanterelle mushrooms, liver, chicken egg yolks).
• Also necessary in the diet is a powerful antioxidant that prevents the risk of new skin lesions (vegetable oils, avocados, all nuts, spinach, oatmeal and buckwheat) and (fish oil, fish and eggs).
• It is important to drink up to 1.5 liters of liquid, mineral water, juices, milk, compotes and tea.

When the allergic component comes to the fore, neurodermatitis is sometimes called atopic dermatitis . It appears more often in childhood when the body is more sensitive to the effects of external stimuli. With age, the rash changes somewhat, but its characteristic feature - itching - is constantly present. The disease periodically worsens and during this period it is recommended to limit salt, spicy foods and high-carbohydrate foods, since simple carbohydrates increase allergic manifestations. In case of severe exacerbation, “fast” carbohydrates are completely excluded. Liquid intake is also subject to restrictions.

It has been proven that the most powerful allergens are:

• Seafood, eggs, honey, nuts, cocoa, chocolate, legumes and milk.
• Preservatives, flavorings and flavor enhancers, semi-finished products and sweet carbonated drinks containing them, smoked meats and sauces.
• Most fruits and berries are also considered strong provocateurs - their limitation is strictly individual, based on the patient’s nutritional experience. Usually light-colored fruits are well tolerated, but bright red, orange and purple fruits and berries cannot be used even for making compotes.

Of course, all these foods and substances should be excluded from the diet. As stated earlier, milk is not recommended, while fermented milk products are recommended. The diet includes boiled meat, vegetarian soups, herbs, fruits (except citrus fruits). It is better to soak potatoes for 12 hours before cooking. The same applies to whole grain cereals (oatmeal, buckwheat, pearl barley).

Usually, patients, with the help of an immunologist and their observations, determine which foods should be abandoned forever and which can be consumed with restrictions. In parallel, patients are prescribed antihistamines and means that regulate the state of the nervous system.

A certain diet for rosacea will help reduce its external manifestations and prevent the progression of the process. Dilated skin vessels cause a lot of trouble, especially with rosacea on the face. Pathological vasodilation in a small area does not have a significant effect on the blood supply to tissues and is considered as cosmetic defect. However, you need to take some measures, including changing your diet, to prevent this condition from progressing. If the lesion is widespread and deep-lying blood vessels are affected, then the blood supply may deteriorate. This is manifested by premature sagging of the skin, unhealthy color and wrinkling.

Will help strengthen small capillaries and reduce their permeability:

• Vitamin P, which we get from eating buckwheat, red sweet pepper, parsley, carrots and asparagus.
• Vitamin K, found in green leaf lettuce and spinach.
• Vitamin C from sauerkraut, bell pepper, onion, black currant and broccoli.
• Olive oil and linseed oil, which should be consumed daily, in their natural form.

• Seaweed as a source of minerals and trace elements, fiber.
• Green tea, because it contains catechins that slow down the progression of rosacea.
• Nuts are a source of antioxidants (vitamin E and C) and unsaturated fatty acids. A small handful of nuts should be included in your diet daily.
• Daily consumption of up to 150 g of protein, which is necessary to strengthen elastin and collagen of the skin.
• Protein sources should include chicken, legumes, turkey, eggs, dairy products, cottage cheese and cheese. Milk protein is easily digestible. It is better to choose low-fat products (not higher than 0.5-1%) and with bifidobacteria.
• Coffee and caffeine-containing drinks (constrict blood vessels) are allowed in limited quantities and only cold.
• It is necessary to monitor drinking regime- 1.5 liters of liquid per day.

The following will have to be excluded or limited from the diet:

• Red meat (lamb, beef, veal and pork), consumption of more than 200 g per week increases the risk of progression of rosacea.
• All semi-finished and processed meat products contain preservatives and dyes that provoke the development of the disease, and excess salt increases problems with blood vessels.
• Animal fats that contain cholesterol, which causes the risk of developing vascular atherosclerosis.
• Sweets, as simple carbohydrates, cause the risk of developing diabetes, which affects blood vessels.
  This also includes sweet fruits (oranges, pineapples, bananas, pears, grapes, papaya), which should be consumed sparingly.
• Alcohol.

For the treatment of pustular skin diseases, antibacterial compounds are mandatory, since the most likely cause of their occurrence is bacterial infection. Choice of antibiotic for topical or internal use carried out based on the results bacterial culture and identifying the sensitivity of pathogenic microorganisms. All other types of treatment are ineffective.

Forms of infection in pyoderma in humans: symptoms

Pustular skin diseases, or pyoderma (Greek ruop - pus) belong to the group of bacterial infections.

Skin pyoderma, which occurs when staphylococci, streptococci and, less commonly, Pseudomonas aeruginosa are introduced into the epidermis, develop, generally speaking, with a decrease in immunity, vitamin deficiencies, changes hormonal levels, carbohydrate metabolism, changes in skin pH towards alkaline reaction, with maceration and traumatization of the skin.

Exist various shapes pyoderma: localized, widespread, deep and generalized.

Infection with pyoderma can be staphylococcal or streptococcal - the manifestations may also depend on this. As a rule, the symptoms of pyoderma include the obligatory appearance of an inflammatory element on the skin, inside of which purulent contents are formed. Pyoderma in humans can be accompanied by a sharp increase in body temperature, signs of intoxication, body aches and other clinical manifestations.

Clinical types of pyoderma disease are presented in the table:

The primary morphological element on the skin, i.e. the primary objective symptom is an abscess, pustule.

Look at these symptoms of pyoderma in the photo showing different elements suppuration:

Treatment of pyoderma in adults

Treatment of pyoderma depends on the prevalence, depth, type, localization of pustular skin lesions and should take into account the presence of carbohydrate metabolism disorders, neuroendocrine disorders, and existing chronic focal infections. As prescribed by a doctor, for pyoderma in adults, injections of antibiotics, immunocorrective drugs, vitamins are given, and methods of physiotherapy are used - UV, DDT, UHF, UHF, i.e. complex treatment is prescribed.

For the treatment of pyoderma in adults, antibiotics should be prescribed if boils of the head and neck occur.

Panaritium (translated from Latin as “nail eater”), into which paronychia often develops, also requires possible early contact with a specialist. On the first day, warm baths with salt (a tablespoon per 1/2 cup of water) and repeated lubrication with 5% water usually help. alcohol solution iodine, an alcohol compress or a piece of lemon applied to the sore spot at night. You cannot tolerate and rely on home remedies; it is dangerous due to the risk of sepsis.

How to treat pyoderma disease locally

Pyoderma disease can be contagious; bacteria are transmitted by contact. Therefore, before treating pyoderma topically with ointments, lotions and talkers, personal safety measures should be taken. Use medical gloves.

Local treatment and care for patients with pyoderma involves careful adherence to the following regimen:

• the patient must have a separate towel, bed sheets, they are boiled after consumption;
• dressing material used by the patient is burned or carefully isolated;
• in case of extensive lesions on the scalp of the face, in the area of ​​the mustache and beard, shaving is prohibited;
• exclude water treatments, massage, washing in a bath or shower;
• wipe the skin with alcohols such as 2% salicylic or 0.25% chloramphenicol, camphor, 70% ethyl or vodka;
• the covers of flaccid, flabby pustules are cut off with crooked scissors, the pus is removed with a cotton swab with a 3% solution of hydrogen peroxide;
• as prescribed by the doctor, the abscess is pierced with a sterile needle or the cover is removed with sterile scissors, holding them from below, so that the pus can drain freely and be removed;
• firmly seated purulent crusts are softened with vegetable or petroleum jelly and removed after 10-30 minutes with tweezers;
• It is good to treat erosions with 1 or 2% alcohol (70% alcohol) solutions of aniline dyes (brilliant green, gentian violet, methylene blue, methylene violet, fuchsin). Castellani liquid is widely used - industrial name - "fucorcin" - a cheap and effective liquid with a basic fuchsin dye;
• It is useful to apply a paste of white streptocide and other sulfonamide drugs to the ulcers;
• for better rejection of the necrotic core when conservative treatment boils, use turundas with a hypertonic solution of sodium hydrochloride (1 tablespoon of table salt per 1 glass boiled water), which are inserted with a screwing motion into the crater-shaped depression of the boil to reject necrotic masses; a 20% magnesia solution can be used;
• the nurse does not treat boils localized on the head, face and neck without a doctor;
• hair in the lesion, if necessary, is removed with epilation, sterile tweezers and manual epilation;
• ointments with antibiotics (gentamicin, lincomycin, erythromycin, pyolysin, heliomycin, oletethrin, tetracycline, etc.), salicylic, mercury, sulfur or tar ointments, as well as pure ichthyol have proven themselves in practice. Antibiotic ointments are used for 5-6 days;
• a good therapeutic effect is achieved by using 5 or 10% syntomycin emulsion;
• ointments containing corticosteroids along with antibiotics - oxycort, dermozolon, locacorten and others;
• A feature of the use of pure ichthyol - “ichthyol cake” is the ability to apply it without dressings to limited pustular elements at a certain location: for example, at the lower angle of the scapula, on the face, or on the skin of the buttock, inguinal fold, etc. and so on. A small amount of pure ichthyol in a thick layer (3-5 mm above the surface of the lesion) is applied to the focus of the pustular lesion and a neat thin cotton “roof” is made (3-4 mm is the thickness of the layer of cotton wool above the layer of pure ichthyol), this is what is called an ichthyol cake. Physical factors, osmotic, keep this “bandage” indefinitely, but it needs to be changed 1-2 times a day as prescribed by a doctor, and this is not difficult to do, since ichthyol easily dissolves in water and is washed off with aqueous solutions. Pure ichthyol is applied to unopened infiltrates and interrupts the development of pustular lesions.

For pyoderma, the use of solutions such as Eplan and a 1% solution of chlorophyllipt at the first signs of the formation of single pustules - often these drugs quickly stop the development of local purulent infection.

In addition to the infectious agent, factors such as poor personal hygiene and skin trauma contribute to the occurrence of pyodermatitis. Even microtraumas that we sometimes don’t notice. A decrease in the body's resistance can also contribute to the occurrence of pustular skin diseases.

There are 3 large groups pyodermatitis:
1. Staphylococcal.
2. Streptococcal.
H. Atypical (chronic pyodermatitis).
Each of these groups is divided, in turn, into a number of diseases that differ in clinical and morphological characteristics.
As a rule, all patients prone to pyodermatitis have impaired carbohydrate metabolism. Therefore, when carrying out herbal medicine, patients should be prescribed plants that have a hypoglycemic effect:
ginseng or aralia roots, bean leaves, blueberry leaves, dandelion and elecampane roots, horsetail herb, knotweed, strawberry leaves, nettle herb, etc.

To strengthen the body's resistance in case of impaired metabolism, patients are prescribed tonic herbal remedies: tincture of aralia, Schisandra chinensis, Eleutherococcus, Leuzea, ginseng. Tinctures are taken 30-40 drops in the morning and at lunch before meals.

Pustular skin diseases (pyoderma) are a group of skin diseases caused by pyogenic microbes - staphylococci and streptococci.

On the surface of the skin healthy people you can almost always detect staphylococci and streptococci, which, when certain conditions acquire the ability to cause pustular diseases. The development of the disease is predisposed by constant contamination of the skin (which may be associated with working conditions), cuts, injections, insect bites, scratching, hypothermia and overheating, sweating, fatigue, metabolic disorders, etc. Pustular skin diseases manifest themselves in a variety of ways.

When the hair follicles become inflamed (folliculitis), small suppurating nodules with hair in the middle appear on the surface of the skin.

With superficial folliculitis, small nodules up to 0.5 cm in diameter appear on the face, neck, forearms, thighs, and less often on other areas of the skin, with a purulent head, penetrated by hair and drying out after a few days to form a crust. If the hair follicles are affected only in the area of ​​the beard and mustache and the inflammation becomes protracted, the disease is called sycosis.

With deep folliculitis (see Furunculosis), larger, up to 1 cm in diameter, painful cone-shaped nodes with purulent fusion and a so-called core are formed. Blisters with purulent contents may appear, shrinking into purulent crusts, the so-called impetigo, which most often affects children.

If even single small pustules with hair appear, you should consult a doctor. It is especially dangerous to squeeze out or cut off pustules on the face when shaving. If the process becomes protracted, a diet is prescribed with a limit on sweet, spicy, and salty foods.

Pustular skin diseases are contagious. They are especially dangerous for infants: their skin and entire body are very sensitive to staphylococcal and streptococcal infections, which can lead to serious complications - kidney disease, pneumonia, etc. In children's groups, sick children must be isolated.

To prevent disease, the site of skin damage must be immediately treated with an antiseptic - a solution of brilliant green or an alcohol solution of iodine. If redness, swelling and tenderness appear at the site of the injury, you should consult a doctor. To avoid the spread of pathogens of purulent infection, there is no need to wash the areas of the skin where suppuration has appeared: they should be wiped with camphor alcohol or vodka (for children - half vodka with boiled water).
